How it works
Levofloxacin 250mg Tablet is an antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone class, used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication, effectively stopping the growth and spread of bacteria. This medication is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, and certain types of bacterial diarrhea. It is typically taken orally, as directed by a healthcare provider, and should be swallowed whole with a sufficient amount of water. Patients are advised to complete the full course of treatment even if symptoms improve early to prevent antibiotic resistance. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, headache, or dizziness, and rare but serious side effects can occur. It should be used with caution in individuals with a history of tendon disorders, QT prolongation, or kidney issues. Always consult a doctor before use, especially during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
