Levofloxacin 750mg Tablets

Product Introduction

Levofloxacin 750mg is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used for susceptible bacterial infections for levofloxacin treatment and safer alternatives are unsuitable or not adequate. It may be used for respiratory, urinary, skin, prostate, or other infections depending on culture results, local resistance, and clinical severity. Fluoroquinolones have important safety warnings, so use should be targeted rather than casual. Avoid taking it too close to antacids, iron, zinc, calcium, or multivitamins because absorption can fall.

How to use

Take Levofloxacin 750mg for the exact prescribed duration. Separate from antacids, iron, zinc, calcium, and multivitamins as directed.

How it works
