Levoflox 750 mg Tablet

Levoflox 750 mg Tablet is a prescription antibiotic that contains 750 mg of levofloxacin in each tablet. It belongs to the fluoroquinolone class and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. A doctor may prescribe Levoflox 750 mg Tablet for specific infections when this higher-strength tablet is appropriate. Use it only as directed because fluoroquinolone antibiotics can cause serious side effects in some people.

How it works: Levofloxacin works by stopping bacteria from making and repairing their DNA, which prevents the germs from multiplying. In tablet form, Levoflox 750 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract so it can reach the infection site in the body.

Levoflox 750 mg Tablet is a higher-strength form compared with Levoflox 250 mg Tablet and Levoflox 500 mg Tablet, so it is usually chosen for adults who need a larger once-daily dose for certain infections. It may be preferred when a doctor wants a stronger single-tablet regimen rather than taking multiple lower-strength tablets. This 750 mg tablet is not a starter dose for everyone, and the exact dose depends on the infection and the patient’s kidney function.

• Certain bacterial lung infections
• Complicated urinary tract infections
• Kidney infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Other doctor-prescribed bacterial infections

• Swallow the Levoflox 750 mg Tablet whole with water; do not crush, split, or chew unless your prescriber tells you to.
• Take it at the same time each day if you are prescribed more than one dose.
• You may take it with or without food, but taking it with food can help if it upsets your stomach.
• Do not take it at the same time as antacids, iron, zinc, calcium supplements, sucralfate, or multivitamins; separate dosing as directed.
• Drink enough fluids while taking this antibiotic unless your doctor has told you to limit fluids.
• Finish the full course even if you start feeling better, unless your doctor tells you to stop.

Each Levoflox 750 mg Tablet provides 750 mg of levofloxacin per tablet. Depending on the infection, this strength may be taken once daily, but the exact schedule and treatment length are decided by your doctor. Do not take more than the prescribed daily amount, and do not use this higher-strength tablet on your own to replace a lower-strength dose.

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