Levofloxacina Aurobindo

Levofloxacin, the active ingredient in Levofloxacina Aurobindo, is a fluoroquinolone presented as an oral dosage form for systemic use. It treats a range of bacterial infections, including urinary, respiratory, skin and soft‑tissue infections, and prostatitis, in adult patients when prescribed by a qualified clinician.

GNH USA supplies Levofloxacina Aurobindo as a licensed, GDP‑compliant international pharmaceutical supplier serving hospitals, pharmacies and clinics worldwide.

Levofloxacina Aurobindo is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic indicated for several bacterial infection categories.

- Urinary tract infection: effective against susceptible organisms causing uncomplicated and complicated UTIs. - Respiratory tract infection: treats community‑acquired pneumonia and acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis. - Skin and soft tissue infection: resolves infections such as cellulitis and wound infections. - Prostatitis: eradicates bacterial pathogens in chronic bacterial prostatitis.

Levofloxacina Aurobindo may cause adverse reactions that vary in frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate stomach upset. - Diarrhea: loose stools, occasionally watery. - Headache: transient cranial discomfort. - Dizziness: sensation of light‑headedness.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Tendon rupture: risk of Achilles or other tendon tears, especially in older adults. - QT interval prolongation: may precipitate cardiac arrhythmias. - Severe allergic reaction: includes anaphylaxis, angioedema, or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome.

Levofloxacina Aurobindo requires careful consideration of patient‑specific factors before use.

- Renal function: dose adjustment may be needed in patients with impaired kidney function. - Age: elderly patients have an increased risk of tendon injury and should be monitored closely. - Concomitant corticosteroids: avoid combined use due to heightened tendon rupture risk. - Cardiac history: patients with known QT prolongation should have ECG monitoring. - Pregnancy and lactation: safety not established; avoid unless the benefit outweighs the risk. - Store at room temperature below 25°C: keep in the original container, protect from moisture and light.

Levofloxacina Aurobindo can interact with several medicines, altering efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium: markedly reduce levofloxacin absorption. - Other fluoroquinolones (e.g., ciprofloxacin): increase risk of QT prolongation and tendon toxicity. - Warfarin: may potentiate anticoagulant effect, increasing bleeding risk.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Theophylline: levofloxacin can raise serum theophylline levels, requiring dose adjustment. - NSAIDs: concurrent use may increase central nervous system stimulation. - Diabetes medications (insulin, sulfonylureas): may cause dysglycemia; monitor blood glucose.
