Levofloxacin Aurobindo

Levofloxacin, the active ingredient in Levofloxacin Aurobindo, is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic presented as a tablet for oral use. It treats a range of bacterial infections in adults and children when prescribed by a healthcare professional. GNH USA supplies Levofloxacin Aurobindo as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Levofloxacin is a broad‑spectrum antibacterial indicated for several infection types. - Urinary tract infections: eradicates susceptible uropathogens and resolves symptoms. - Respiratory tract infections: treats community‑acquired pneumonia and acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis. - Skin and soft tissue infections: eliminates common Gram‑negative and Gram‑positive bacteria. - Prostatitis: reduces bacterial load in chronic bacterial prostatitis. - Sinusitis: clears infection in acute bacterial sinusitis.

Levofloxacin may cause a range of adverse reactions, from mild to severe.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild gastrointestinal upset. - Diarrhea: loose stools, often self‑limiting. - Headache: transient cranial discomfort. - Dizziness: occasional vertigo or light‑headedness. - Rash: mild skin erythema or itching.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Tendon rupture: especially Achilles tendon, requiring immediate medical attention. - QT prolongation: cardiac rhythm disturbance that may lead to arrhythmia. - Severe hypersensitivity: anaphylaxis or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. - Central nervous system effects: seizures or psychosis in susceptible patients.

Levofloxacin should be used with caution in specific clinical situations. - Renal impairment: adjust dose or monitor renal function. - History of tendon disorders: avoid use or discontinue promptly if pain develops. - Cardiac risk: assess QT interval in patients with known prolongation. - Concomitant CNS active drugs: monitor for additive neuropsychiatric effects. - Pregnancy and lactation: only if benefits outweigh risks, after professional evaluation. Store at ambient temperature: keep below 25 °C, retain original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Levofloxacin can alter the activity of several co‑administered medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium: markedly reduce levofloxacin absorption. - Warfarin: may increase anticoagulant effect, raising bleeding risk. - NSAIDs (e.g., ibuprofen): heightened risk of central nervous system stimulation.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Theophylline: possible increase in plasma concentration, monitor for toxicity. - Cyclosporine: may raise cyclosporine levels, adjust dosing as needed. - Diabetic agents (e.g., insulin, sulfonylureas): potential for altered glucose control.
