Product Overview

Levoflox 500 Tablet is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. It is effective against infections in areas such as the urinary tract, nose, throat, skin, and lungs (including pneumonia). The medicine works by preventing the growth and spread of harmful bacteria responsible for the infection.

The tablet should be taken exactly as directed by your healthcare provider. It may be consumed with or without food, but it’s advisable to take it at the same time each day. Completing the full course of treatment is essential, even if symptoms improve, to ensure that the infection is fully treated and to avoid antibiotic resistance.
