Levofloxacina Rafarm is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to manage bacterial infections of the eye. - Bacterial conjunctivitis: reduces bacterial load and resolves infection of the conjunctiva. - Bacterial keratitis: eradicates corneal pathogens and promotes healing of the corneal epithelium. - Other susceptible ocular infections: effective against Gram‑positive and Gram‑negative organisms causing eye infections.

What are the side effects of Levofloxacin Hemihydrate?

Common Side Effects: - Burning or stinging sensation upon instillation. - Transient eye redness. - Blurred vision lasting a few minutes. - Itching or foreign‑body sensation. - Mild tearing. - Temporary eyelid swelling.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Severe allergic reaction (e.g., angioedema, anaphylaxis). - Corneal ulceration or perforation. - Stevens‑Johnson syndrome or toxic epidermal necrolysis. - Vision loss. - Persistent intraocular inflammation. - Tendon rupture (systemic exposure).

What precautions apply to Levofloxacin Hemihydrate?

Before using Levofloxacina Rafarm, consider the following precautions. - Hypersensitivity: discontinue immediately if signs of severe allergic reaction appear. - Indication specificity: use only for confirmed bacterial ocular infections; avoid viral or fungal eye conditions. - Fluoroquinolone allergy: avoid in patients with known hypersensitivity to levofloxacin or other fluoroquinolones. - Corneal integrity: exercise caution in eyes with epithelial defects or recent surgery. - Pregnancy and lactation: safety not established; prescribe only if potential benefit outweighs risk. - Store at below 25°C: keep in original container, protect from moisture and light.

What does Levofloxacin Hemihydrate interact with?
