Lquin 750 mg Tablet

Lquin 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 the common cold or flu. Doctors may prescribe Lquin 750 mg Tablet for infections such as pneumonia, sinus infections, complicated urinary tract infections, or some skin and abdominal infections when levofloxacin is appropriate.

How it works: Levofloxacin works by blocking bacterial enzymes that bacteria need to copy and repair their DNA, which stops them from growing and spreading. In tablet form, Lquin 750 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body to reach the infection site and help clear susceptible bacteria.

Lquin 750 mg Tablet is a higher-strength levofloxacin tablet compared with Lquin 250 mg Tablet and Lquin 500 mg Tablet. Because it delivers a larger amount in one tablet, it is usually chosen for adults when a doctor wants a once-daily high-dose regimen for a specific infection, rather than a lower-strength or split-dose plan. It may be more convenient for some treatment courses, but it is not the right choice for everyone.

• Pneumonia
• Sinus infection
• Complicated urinary tract infection
• Kidney infection
• Skin infection
• Certain abdominal infections

• Swallow the Lquin 750 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, usually at the same time each day if your doctor has told you to take it daily.
• You may take it with or without food, but if it upsets your stomach, taking it with food may help.
• Do not take it at the same time as antacids, iron, zinc, magnesium, calcium supplements, or sucralfate; separate dosing as directed by your pharmacist or doctor.
• Finish the full course even if you feel better, unless your prescriber tells you to stop.
• Avoid extra caffeine if this medicine makes you feel jittery or causes a fast heartbeat.

Each Lquin 750 mg Tablet provides 750 mg of levofloxacin, which is a high-strength dose compared with 250 mg and 500 mg tablets. The dosing schedule depends on the infection being treated and kidney function; it may be taken once daily, and the maximum daily amount is the total dose prescribed by your doctor. Do not change the dose or take extra tablets on your own, because the correct regimen must be individualized.

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