What is Levofloxacin Hemihydrate used for?

Levofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat infections caused by susceptible bacteria.

- Community‑acquired pneumonia: eradicates the causative pathogens, leading to clinical improvement and resolution of infection. - Complicated urinary tract infections: eliminates bacterial load in the urinary tract, facilitating recovery and preventing progression. - Skin and soft tissue infections: clears the infection in dermal and subdermal tissues, promoting healing. - Intra‑abdominal infections: treats polymicrobial infections within the abdominal cavity, supporting patient recovery.

What are the side effects of Levofloxacin Hemihydrate?

Levofloxacin may cause a range of adverse reactions, varying in frequency and severity.

Common Side Effects: - Nausea: mild to moderate stomach upset. - Diarrhea: loose stools, often self‑limiting. - Headache: transient cranial discomfort. - Rash: mild skin erythema or pruritus.

Serious or Rare Side Effects: - Tendon rupture: especially Achilles tendon, may occur during or after therapy. - QT interval prolongation: risk of cardiac arrhythmias. - Severe hypersensitivity: anaphylaxis or Stevens‑Johnson syndrome. - Central nervous system effects: seizures or confusion.

What precautions apply to Levofloxacin Hemihydrate?

When prescribing Levofloxacin, clinicians should consider several precautionary measures to minimize risk. - Renal impairment: adjust dose or monitor renal function. - History of tendon disorders: avoid use or use with caution. - Cardiac risk: assess QT interval before therapy. - Pregnancy category C: use only if benefits outweigh risks. - Concomitant CNS active drugs: monitor for seizures. - Store at 2‑8 °C: keep refrigerated, protect from light, do not freeze or shake.

What does Levofloxacin Hemihydrate interact with?
