Levofloxacin is a broad‑spectrum antibacterial used for infections of the respiratory, urinary and skin systems. - Community‑acquired pneumonia: eradicates the causative bacteria and improves lung function. - Acute bacterial sinusitis: reduces sinus inflammation and clears infection. - Acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis: controls bacterial overgrowth and eases breathing difficulty. - Uncomplicated urinary tract infections: eliminates uropathogens and relieves urinary symptoms. - Skin and soft‑tissue infections: treats bacterial cellulitis and related dermal conditions.

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

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild gastrointestinal upset. - Diarrhea: loose stools, often self‑limiting. - Headache: transient cranial discomfort. - Dizziness: occasional vertigo or light‑headedness. - Insomnia: difficulty falling or staying asleep. - Rash: mild skin erythema.

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

Levofloxacin requires careful clinical assessment before use. - Assess renal function: dose adjustment may be needed in impaired kidneys. - Monitor for tendon pain: discontinue if signs of rupture appear. - Avoid in patients with known hypersensitivity to fluoroquinolones. - Use caution in individuals with QT‑prolonging conditions or concurrent QT‑prolonging drugs. - Store at room temperature: keep in the original pack, protect from moisture and direct sunlight.

Levofloxacin can alter the activity of several co‑administered medicines.

Major Interactions (Avoid): - Antacids containing aluminum or magnesium: markedly reduce levofloxacin absorption. - Warfarin: may increase anticoagulant effect and bleeding risk. - Systemic corticosteroids: heightened risk of tendon rupture.

Moderate Interactions (Monitor Closely): - NSAIDs: may increase central nervous system stimulation. - Theophylline: levofloxacin can raise plasma theophylline levels. - Cyclosporine: potential increase in cyclosporine concentrations.
