Scientific Evidence

Levofloxacin, the active ingredient in Loxof tablets, is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by inhibiting the bacterial DNA gyrase enzyme, thereby disrupting DNA replication and leading to bacterial cell death. This mechanism of action has been well-studied and proven effective in treating a wide range of bacterial infections.

Additional Information

It is important to complete the full course of Loxof (levofloxacin) as prescribed by your healthcare provider, even if you start to feel better before the treatment is finished. Stopping the medication prematurely can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.

Before taking Loxof (levofloxacin), inform your doctor about any medical conditions you have, especially tendon problems, as fluoroquinolone antibiotics may increase the risk of tendonitis and tendon rupture.
