What is Levofloxacin?

Levofloxacin, the active ingredient in Levofloxacine Biogaran, is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic presented as an oral dosage form for systemic use. It treats a range of bacterial infections in adult patients, including respiratory, urinary and skin infections.

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

What is Levofloxacin used for?

Levofloxacine Biogaran is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections affecting several organ systems. - Community‑acquired pneumonia: eradicates the causative pathogens and improves respiratory function. - Acute bacterial sinusitis: reduces sinus inflammation and clears infection. - Acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis: shortens symptom duration and prevents complications. - Skin and soft‑tissue infections: eliminates skin‑associated bacteria and promotes healing. - Urinary tract infections: clears uropathogens and resolves urinary symptoms. - Prostatitis: penetrates prostatic tissue to eradicate infecting organisms.

What are the side effects of Levofloxacin?

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild gastrointestinal upset. - Diarrhea: loose stools, sometimes watery. - Headache: transient cranial discomfort. - Dizziness: sensation of light‑headedness. - Abdominal pain: cramping or discomfort. - Insomnia: difficulty falling or staying asleep.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Tendon rupture: sudden pain and loss of function, especially in the Achilles. - QT interval prolongation: risk of cardiac arrhythmias. - Severe allergic reactions: rash, swelling, or anaphylaxis. - Clostridioides difficile infection: severe colitis with watery diarrhea. - Hepatic toxicity: elevated liver enzymes or jaundice. - Peripheral neuropathy: numbness or tingling in extremities.

What precautions apply to Levofloxacin?

Before prescribing Levofloxacine Biogaran, clinicians should consider several safety measures. - Renal function assessment: adjust use in patients with impaired clearance. - Hypersensitivity screening: avoid in individuals with known fluoroquinolone allergy. - Tendon monitoring: advise patients to report tendon pain or swelling promptly. - QT‑prolongation caution: avoid in patients with existing cardiac conduction disorders. - Pregnancy and lactation: use only if benefits outweigh potential risks. - Store at ambient temperature: keep in original packaging, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

What does Levofloxacin interact with?

Levofloxacine Biogaran can interact with other medicines, requiring careful management.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Co‑administration with other fluoroquinolones: increased risk of toxicity. - Concurrent use of QT‑prolonging agents (e.g., quinidine, azithromycin): heightened arrhythmia risk. - Antacids or supplements containing magnesium/aluminum/iron: markedly reduce levofloxacin absorption.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - Corticosteroids: elevated risk of tendon rupture. - Theophylline: potential increase in serum theophylline levels, requiring dose adjustment.

Frequently asked questions

What infections is Levofloxacine Biogaran used to treat?+
Levofloxacine Biogaran is indicated for several bacterial infections, including community‑acquired pneumonia, acute bacterial sinusitis, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, skin and soft‑tissue infections, urinary tract infections, and prostatitis. It is prescribed for adult patients when a fluoroquinolone is appropriate.
How does levofloxacin work against bacteria?+
Levofloxacin blocks bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes that unwind and reseal DNA during replication. This inhibition prevents bacterial DNA synthesis, leading to cell death. The action is bactericidal against a broad spectrum of Gram‑positive and Gram‑negative organisms.
What is the usual dose of Levofloxacine Biogaran?+
The dosage of Levofloxacine Biogaran is determined by the prescribing clinician based on the infection type, severity, patient age, renal function, and local guidelines. Patients should follow the exact regimen provided by their healthcare professional.
Is Levofloxacine Biogaran safe during pregnancy or breastfeeding?+
Safety data for levofloxacin in pregnancy and lactation are limited. It should only be used when the potential benefit justifies any possible risk to the fetus or infant. Healthcare providers must evaluate each case individually and discuss alternatives when appropriate.
How do I order Levofloxacine Biogaran from GNH USA?+
To request Levofloxacine Biogaran, 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 necessary import documentation.
How does Levofloxacine Biogaran compare with other fluoroquinolones?+
Levofloxacine Biogaran contains levofloxacin, the L‑isomer of ofloxacin, offering a broader spectrum and higher potency than many older fluoroquinolones. It generally requires once‑daily dosing and has better tissue penetration, but the safety profile, including tendon and QT‑related risks, remains similar across the class.
What are the storage and handling requirements for Levofloxacine Biogaran?+
Levofloxacine Biogaran should be stored at ambient temperature, below 25 °C, in its original packaging to protect from moisture and light. Keep the product out of reach of children and do not use it after the expiry date printed on the label.
How is Levofloxacine Biogaran administered?+
Levofloxacine Biogaran is administered orally. The tablet or capsule should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water. It may be taken with or without food, but antacids or supplements containing magnesium, aluminum, calcium, or iron should be spaced at least two hours apart to avoid reduced absorption.
What are the most serious risks associated with Levofloxacine Biogaran?+
Serious risks include tendon rupture (especially in the Achilles), QT interval prolongation leading to cardiac arrhythmias, severe allergic reactions such as anaphylaxis, Clostridioides difficile‑associated colitis, and peripheral neuropathy. Patients should be instructed to seek immediate medical attention if they experience sudden tendon pain, palpitations, rash, or neurological symptoms.
Who should not use Levofloxacine Biogaran?+
Levofloxacine Biogaran is contraindicated in individuals with a known hypersensitivity to levofloxacin, other fluoroquinolones, or any component of the formulation. It should also be avoided in patients with a history of tendon disorders related to fluoroquinolone use, and in those with established prolonged QT interval unless benefits outweigh risks.
