Fynal 500 Tablet

Fynal 500 Tablet is a prescription antibiotic tablet that contains levofloxacin 500 mg in each tablet. Levofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Fynal 500 Tablet is taken by mouth and is prescribed when a doctor decides this 500 mg strength is appropriate for the infection being treated.

How it works: Levofloxacin works by blocking bacterial enzymes that bacteria need to copy and repair their DNA, which helps stop the infection from growing. As a tablet, Fynal 500 Tablet delivers this medicine orally so it can be absorbed into the body and work against susceptible bacteria at the infection site.

Fynal 500 Tablet is the 500 mg tablet strength, which is a higher-strength levofloxacin option than lower-dose tablets. Because of that, it is usually chosen for adults who have been assessed by a doctor and need a specific 500 mg dose schedule rather than a smaller tablet strength.

• Bacterial pneumonia
• Sinus infection
• Skin and soft tissue infection
• Urinary tract infection
• Prostatitis
• Other infections caused by susceptible bacteria

• Swallow Fynal 500 Tablet whole with a full glass of water.
• Take it exactly at the time and for the number of days your doctor prescribes.
• You may take it with or without food, but if it upsets your stomach, taking it with food may help.
• Do not crush or chew the tablet unless your prescriber specifically tells you to.
• Avoid taking it at the same time as antacids, iron, zinc, or multivitamins; separate doses as directed because they can reduce absorption.
• Keep drinking fluids unless your doctor has told you to limit fluids.

Each Fynal 500 Tablet provides levofloxacin 500 mg per tablet. This strength may be taken once daily for some infections, but the exact schedule, total daily dose, and treatment length depend on the infection, kidney function, and other patient factors. Do not exceed the dose prescribed by your doctor, because the 500 mg strength is not meant for self-adjusting or extra doses.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
