Levofloxacin 500mg/100ml Infusion

Levofloxacin 500mg/100ml infusion is a powerful broad-spectrum antibiotic given through a drip (intravenous infusion) to treat serious or severe bacterial infections. It belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics and works by stopping bacteria from multiplying and repairing themselves, effectively clearing the infection.

What it treats Used in hospital or clinical settings to treat:

• Community-acquired pneumonia and hospital-acquired pneumonia
• Complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) and kidney infections (pyelonephritis)
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Intra-abdominal infections (alongside other medicines)
