LEVONADIFLOXACIN belongs to the class of 'antibiotics', primarily used to treat bacterial skin and soft tissue infections, including diabetic foot infections and concurrent bacteraemia (presence of viable bacteria in the bloodstream). It also targets Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which causes antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
LEVONADIFLOXACIN contains 'Levonadifloxacin,' a bactericidal agent that prevents bacterial growth and interrupts bacterial replication. It is also a beta-lactamase inhibitor. Beta-lactamases are the enzymes produced by the bacteria that inactivate the antibiotic, leading to multi-resistance. LEVONADIFLOXACIN has a broad spectrum activity against various pathogens, including Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA), which is a leading cause of rising antimicrobial resistance (AMR).
Take LEVONADIFLOXACIN as advised by a doctor. LEVONADIFLOXACIN may also cause side effects, although not everybody gets them. Common side effects of LEVONADIFLOXACIN include constipation, vomiting, and cough. These side effects do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.
Brief your medical history to the doctor if you are allergic to LEVONADIFLOXACIN or any of its components. Before starting this medicine, let your doctor know if you have any liver/kidney/heart diseases, diabetes, mental-health-related problems, myasthenia gravis (muscle weakness), tendon-related diseases or peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage). LEVONADIFLOXACIN should be used only with a doctor's advice during pregnancy and breastfeeding. LEVONADIFLOXACIN is not recommended in patients under 18 years of age.
Bacterial skin and soft tissue infections.
LEVONADIFLOXACIN contains 'Levonadifloxacin,' a broad-spectrum anti-MRSA agent that treats bacterial skin and soft tissue infections, including diabetic foot infections and concurrent bacteraemia. It is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic and is bactericidal in action. It works by inhibiting beta-lactamase, the enzyme produced by the bacteria, which inactivates the antibiotic, leading to multi-resistance.
Do not use LEVONADIFLOXACIN if you are allergic to LEVONADIFLOXACIN or its components. Inform your doctor if you have liver/kidney/heart diseases, diabetes, mental-health-related problems, myasthenia gravis, tendon-related diseases or peripheral neuropathy before starting LEVONADIFLOXACIN. Pregnant and breastfeeding should use this medicine only when a doctor has prescribed it. Avoid driving or operating machinery if you notice any dizziness, headache or visual disorders that may impair your ability to concentrate and react. LEVONADIFLOXACIN is not recommended in patients under 18 years of age.
Drug-Drug Interaction: LEVONADIFLOXACIN may interact with antacids (sucralfate), multivitamin preparations containing calcium, zinc or iron, and HIV/AIDS medication (didanosine).
Drug-Food Interaction: No interactions found/established.
Drug-Disease Interaction: Before taking LEVONADIFLOXACIN, let your doctor know if you have any liver, kidney or heart diseases, diabetes, or mental-health-related problems.

LEVONADIFLOXACIN is not recommended in children under 18 years of age.
Bacterial skin and skin structure infections: Bacterial skin and skin structure infections occur when bacteria infect the skin through the skin and soft tissues (mucous membrane and loose connective tissue). Skin redness, pain, tenderness, minor bumps or boils, rashes, blisters, cracked/dry skin, swelling, stinging or burning sensation, pus formation, and itching are all symptoms. Cellulitis (red and swollen skin), erysipelas (large patches of skin), impetigo (red sores on the face), furuncles, and carbuncles are all examples of common bacterial infections.
