Frequently asked questions about levofloxacin

What is levofloxacin?

Levofloxacin is an antibiotic medication used for the treatment of bacterial infections in various areas of the body. This drug is commonly administered via an oral capsule, eye drops, or an intravenous injection. The specific method of administration will depend on the infection being treated.

Levofloxacin is an antibiotic, which means that it is ineffective against viral, parasitic, and fungal infections. This medication is prescribed to treat existing infections, and should not be used as a preventative measure against bacterial infections. Doing so can actually make you more resistant to antibiotic treatment.

What is levofloxacin used to treat?

Levofloxacin is an antibiotic that is commonly administered as an oral medication, eye drops, or an intravenous injection as a treatment for various bacterial infections in the body. The specific method of delivery will depend on the type of infection you have.

As an oral tablet or intravenous injection, levofloxacin may be prescribed for the treatment of pneumonia, infections of the prostate and kidneys, or skin infections. It is also indicated for use as a treatment for anthrax infection after inhalation.

Levofloxacin eye drops are prescribed for the treatment of bacterial infections of the eye.

How does levofloxacin work?

Levofloxacin is classified as a quinolone antibiotic. These drugs are indicated for use as a treatment for bacterial infections in various parts of the body. These drugs work by killing harmful bacteria and preventing their growth. This dual-action treats existing infections while preventing them from spreading or worsening.

Because levofloxacin is an antibiotic, it is ineffective against viral, parasitic, and fungal infections. In addition, this drug is used to treat existing infections. Using levofloxacin as a preventative measure against infections can actually make your body resistant to the drug and increase your likelihood of developing one of the conditions listed above.

What are the common side effects of levofloxacin?

Levofloxacin has been shown to cause some mild side effects. If these adverse effects do not go away within a few days, talk to your health care provider.

  • Nausea

  • Stomach pain

  • Discolored stool
  • Vaginal itching

This is not a complete list of possible adverse effects.

If you experience an unexplained rash, swelling, difficulty breathing, or itchy skin while taking levofloxacin, seek medical attention immediately. These are early signs of an allergic reaction – a potentially serious side effect of taking this medication.

Talk to your health care provider about any medication you are currently taking, or any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with before starting treatment with levofloxacin.

What is the typical starting dose of levofloxacin?

The starting dose of levofloxacin will depend on the severity of the infection, the specific type of infection requiring treatment, and the method of administration (oral tablet, eye drops, IV injection).

Oral levofloxacin: For adults and children over 6 months old, oral levofloxacin is prescribed at a starting dose of 500 mg once a day.

IV injection: Administered by a health care professional.

Eye drops: For adults and children over 1 year of age, apply one to two drops of medication into the eye every two hours during the first two days of treatment. Do not exceed 8 applications a day. During days 3-7 of treatment, apply one to two drops of medication into the eye every four hours, not exceeding 4 applications a day.

Do not discontinue the use of levofloxacin unless instructed to do so by your doctor. Doing so can cause the bacterial infection to recur. Additionally, do not increase your daily dosage of levofloxacin unless given a specific order by your doctor. Follow the full course of treatment and take the medication exactly as prescribed.
