Levofloxacin Tablets 500 mg is a broad-spectrum, bactericidal antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone class. It is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections by inhibiting the enzyme DNA gyrase, which is essential for bacterial DNA replication and cell division. Levofloxacin is highly effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative pathogens and is commonly used in the treatment of respiratory, urinary tract, and skin infections. This oral formulation provides an effective alternative to intravenous therapy, offering convenience and flexibility in treatment.
