About levofloxacin

Levofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone antibiotic group. A clinician must assess whether it is appropriate for a particular bacterial infection. The UK MHRA restricts systemic fluoroquinolones to situations where other commonly recommended antibiotics are inappropriate. This general guidance is not confirmation of the approved indications of this specific ANVIS product.

Levovis 500: serious safety precautions

Fluoroquinolones can cause disabling and potentially lasting effects involving tendons, muscles, joints, nerves or mental health. Stop treatment and contact your doctor immediately for tendon pain or swelling, persistent tingling or numbness, weakness, or serious mood or sleep changes. Rest a painful tendon until assessed.

Tell your clinician about any previous serious reaction to a quinolone antibiotic. Also discuss kidney problems, organ transplantation and corticosteroid medicines. These factors can increase tendon risks. People over 60 require particular caution. Read the full leaflet before treatment.
