Levofloxcin Injection belongs to the class of 'antibiotics', primarily used to treat bacterial infections. Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. 

Levofloxcin Injection is composed of 'Levofloxacin' that belongs to a class of quinolone antibiotics. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called gyrase, responsible for the growth and development of bacterial DNA. Thereby, inhibits bacterial growth and treats bacterial infection.

Levofloxcin Injection will be administered by a healthcare professional. Levofloxcin Injection may cause a few side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects of Levofloxcin Injection include constipation, nausea, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness, light-headedness, trouble sleeping/insomnia, pain, redness, and swelling at the injection site. Most of these side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

Let your doctor know if you have any allergic reactions to medicines, liver/kidney problems, fits, diabetes, tendonitis (inflammation of the tendon, a tissue connecting muscle and bone), myasthenia gravis (muscular weakness), high blood pressure, low blood potassium (hypokalaemia), and mood disorders. Levofloxcin Injection should be used only with a doctor's advice during pregnancy and breastfeeding. Levofloxcin Injection may cause light-headedness/dizziness; in such cases, please do not drive until you are alert. Levofloxcin Injection may cause dizziness; hence avoid or limit alcohol consumption.

Levofloxcin Injection treats various bacterial infections, including infections of the lower respiratory tract (lungs), urinary tract (kidneys and bladder), skin, soft tissues, and prostate gland. It contains Levofloxacin, a quinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme required for the replication, transcription, and repair of the DNA. Thereby, inhibits bacterial growth and treats bacterial infection. It is also used to treat anthrax (a rare but serious bacterial illness) and certain types of plague.

Brief your medical history to the doctor if you are allergic to any of the components in Levofloxcin Injection .

Bacterial infection occurs when harmful bacteria grow in the body and causes illness. It can infect any part of the body and multiply very quickly. Bacteria occur in three basic shapes: spherical, rod and spiral-shaped. Bacteria may be gram-positive (have a thick cell wall) or gram-negative (do not have a cell wall). Some common symptoms of a bacterial infection include cough, fever, shortness of breath, chills, muscle pain, fatigue, and tiredness. Untreated bacterial infections may lead to serious life-threatening conditions like sepsis.
