Levofloxacin, Metronidazole

Levofloxacin and Metronidazole is a combination medication that comprises two antibiotics, Levofloxacin and Metronidazole, both of which work by inhibiting the growth of bacteria in the body. Levofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, targets DNA gyrase, an essential bacterial enzyme, while Metronidazole, an antiprotozoal and antibacterial agent, inhibits the growth of anaerobic bacteria by reducing the formation of DNA.
The medication is primarily used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, skin and skin structure infections, and intra-abdominal infections. Levofloxacin and Metronidazole are especially effective against infections caused by susceptible anaerobic and aerobic bacteria, including species that are resistant to other antibiotics.
Levofloxacin and Metronidazole should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional. Complete the entire course of treatment, even if symptoms improve, to ensure the infection is entirely eradicated and to prevent the development of antibiotic resistance.
Potential side effects of Levofloxacin and Metronidazole may include nausea, diarrhea, headache, or dizziness. However, these side effects are generally mild and tend to subside with continued use of the medication. Patients should consult their healthcare professional if they experience any severe or persistent side effects.
