What is Levofloxacin?

Levofloxacin, the active ingredient in Levofloxacina Ciclum, is a Fluoroquinolone presented as an oral tablet for oral use. It treats a range of bacterial infections in adults and children when prescribed by a qualified health professional.

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

What is Levofloxacin used for?

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: penetrates prostatic tissue to clear chronic bacterial infection. - Gonorrhea: provides effective therapy against Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains.

What are the side effects of Levofloxacin?

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate stomach upset. - Diarrhea: loose stools, sometimes watery. - Headache: transient cranial discomfort. - Dizziness: sensation of light‑headedness. - Abdominal pain: cramping or discomfort. - Rash: mild skin erythema.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Tendon rupture: especially Achilles, may occur without warning. - QT interval prolongation: risk of cardiac arrhythmias. - Severe allergic reaction: anaphylaxis, angioedema. - Clostridioides difficile infection: severe colitis. - Peripheral neuropathy: numbness or tingling. - Elevated liver enzymes: potential hepatic injury.

What precautions apply to Levofloxacin?

Before prescribing Levofloxacina Ciclum, clinicians should consider several safety factors.

- Renal function assessment: dose adjustment may be needed in impairment. - Tendon disorder avoidance: do not use in patients with a history of tendon disease. - QT prolongation caution: avoid in patients with known cardiac conduction abnormalities. - Hypersensitivity monitoring: watch for signs of allergic reaction. - Pregnancy and lactation: use only if benefits outweigh potential risks. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original container, protect from moisture.

What does Levofloxacin interact with?

Levofloxacina Ciclum can interact with other medicines, altering efficacy or safety.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Antacids or supplements containing magnesium/aluminum/iron: reduce absorption. - NSAIDs: increase risk of central nervous system stimulation and seizures. - Warfarin: may enhance anticoagulant effect, raising bleeding risk. - QT‑prolonging agents (e.g., macrolides, antiarrhythmics): additive cardiac risk. - Other fluoroquinolones: concurrent use may increase toxicity.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Corticosteroids: combined use raises tendon rupture risk. - Oral contraceptives: efficacy may be reduced, consider alternative contraception.

Frequently asked questions

What infections is Levofloxacina Ciclum used to treat?+
Levofloxacina Ciclum, containing levofloxacin, is indicated for urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections such as pneumonia, skin and soft‑tissue infections, prostatitis, and gonorrhea caused by susceptible bacteria.
How does levofloxacin work against bacteria?+
Levofloxacin blocks bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes needed for DNA replication and transcription. This inhibition prevents bacterial cells from multiplying, leading to their death.
What is the usual dose of Levofloxacina Ciclum?+
The specific dose and duration are determined by the prescribing clinician based on the infection type, severity, patient age, renal function, and other clinical factors.
Is Levofloxacina Ciclum safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety in pregnancy and lactation has not been fully established. It should only be used if the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant, and under medical supervision.
How do I order Levofloxacina Ciclum from GNH USA?+
Submit an enquiry on the product page at gnh-usa.com, specifying the required quantity. GNH USA works with hospitals, pharmacies and procurement teams worldwide, verifies trade or institutional credentials, and then provides pricing, availability, shipping details and any required import documentation.
How does levofloxacin compare with other antibiotics for similar infections?+
Levofloxacin offers broad‑spectrum coverage, including many Gram‑negative and Gram‑positive organisms, and has excellent tissue penetration. Compared with older agents like trimethoprim‑sulfamethoxazole, it often requires shorter courses but carries specific risks such as tendon injury and QT prolongation.
What are the recommended storage conditions for Levofloxacina Ciclum?+
Store at room temperature, below 25 °C, in the original packaging. Protect the tablets from moisture and direct sunlight to maintain stability.
How is Levofloxacina Ciclum administered?+
Levofloxacina Ciclum is taken orally, usually with a full glass of water. It may be taken with or without food, but antacids or mineral supplements should be spaced at least two hours apart to avoid reduced absorption.
What are the most serious risks associated with levofloxacin therapy?+
Serious risks include tendon rupture (especially Achilles), QT interval prolongation leading to arrhythmias, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, Clostridioides difficile‑associated colitis, peripheral neuropathy, and liver enzyme elevations.
Who should not use Levofloxacina Ciclum?+
Patients with a known hypersensitivity to levofloxacin or other fluoroquinolones, those with a history of tendon disorders related to fluoroquinolone use, and individuals with significant QT prolongation should avoid this medication unless no alternatives exist.
