LEVOFLOXACIN+DEXTROSE belongs to the class of antibiotics. It is a highly effective antibiotic that works against a variety of bacteria. LEVOFLOXACIN+DEXTROSE is used in a variety of bacterial infections, most importantly acute pneumonia (Lung infection), bronchitis (Inflammation of lung passages), skin infections, as well as urinary tract infection. A bacterial infection is a condition in which bacteria grows in the body and causes infection. It can target any body part and multiple very quickly.
LEVOFLOXACIN+DEXTROSE contains levofloxacin and Dextrose. Levofloxacin (fluoroquinolone antibiotic) sticks to enzymes (Topoisomerase IV & DNA gyrase) responsible for the division of bacteria & stops the multiplication of bacteria & killing bacteria. Dextrose (glucose) is used as a diluent (a substance used to dilute something) to supply calories and fluids (levofloxacin) to the body. Thus, LEVOFLOXACIN+DEXTROSE together works by preventing infection and providing energy to the body.
