Levofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibacterial that targets bacterial DNA replication.

Urinary tract infection: effective in eradicating susceptible Gram‑negative uropathogens. Respiratory tract infection: clears common bacterial pathogens causing bronchitis and pneumonia. Skin and soft‑tissue infection: treats Staphylococcus and Streptococcus species. Prostatitis: penetrates prostatic tissue to eliminate causative bacteria. Gonorrhea: active against Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains resistant to older agents.

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: transient stomach upset. - Diarrhea: loose stools, often self‑limiting. - Headache: mild to moderate intensity. - Dizziness: occasional vertigo. - Insomnia: difficulty sleeping. - Abdominal pain: cramping or discomfort.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Tendon rupture: especially Achilles, requiring immediate medical attention. - QT interval prolongation: may predispose to cardiac arrhythmias. - Clostridioides difficile infection: severe colitis risk. - Severe allergic reactions: rash, angioedema, anaphylaxis. - Hepatic toxicity: elevated liver enzymes or hepatitis. - Photosensitivity: heightened skin reaction to sunlight.

Levofloxacin should be used with caution in specific patient groups and clinical situations.

Renal impairment: dose adjustment may be required. History of tendon disorders: avoid use due to risk of rupture. Concomitant QT‑prolonging drugs: monitor ECG for arrhythmia. Pregnancy and lactation: only if benefits outweigh potential risks. Elderly patients (>65 years): increased susceptibility to CNS effects. Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture.

Levofloxacin can interact with other medicines, altering efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Antacids containing magnesium or aluminum: markedly reduce levofloxacin absorption. - Ciprofloxacin: antagonistic effect on bacterial killing. - Warfarin: may increase anticoagulant effect and bleeding risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - NSAIDs: potential for increased central nervous system toxicity. - Theophylline: levofloxacin may raise plasma concentrations. - Oral hypoglycemic agents: possible alteration of blood glucose control.
