Product Introduction
Levofloxacin 250mg 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.
