Additional Information:

It is important to complete the full course of Levofloxacin as prescribed by your healthcare provider, even if you start to feel better before the treatment is finished. Stopping the medication too early may allow the bacteria to continue to grow, which may result in a relapse of the infection.

Levofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics and works by inhibiting the enzymes necessary for DNA replication in bacteria, thereby stopping their growth and multiplication. It is important to use this medication only for the indication prescribed and to avoid its use in viral infections.
