Product Overview
Levzia 500 is a high-quality levofloxacin 500mg tablet manufactured by Biozia Lifesciences to deliver dependable antibacterial action.
Levofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics and is widely prescribed for a variety of infections, especially those involving the respiratory tract, urinary tract, and skin. It works by halting bacterial multiplication at the DNA level, making it a powerful choice where broad coverage is needed.
For distributors and PCD pharma partners, Levzia 500 is a high-demand product with strong clinical acceptance and consistent market traction.
Indications for Levofloxacin 500mg
The tablet is prescribed (under medical supervision) for treatment of:
Community-acquired pneumonia and other respiratory infections (nih.gov)
Sinusitis and bronchitis episodes (mayoclinic.org)
Uncomplicated and complicated urinary tract infections (including pyelonephritis) (drugs.com)
Skin and soft tissue infections
Certain gastrointestinal and abdominal infections
Prostatitis and some sexually transmitted infections (as guided by a physician)
Levofloxacin is effective against many common and resistant bacterial strains, making it widely used in clinical settings.
Mechanism of Action
Levofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for DNA replication and repair. Without these enzymes, bacteria cannot divide or survive, leading to rapid infection control.
This mechanism is well-documented in fluoroquinolone research.
Because of this strong DNA-level inhibition, levofloxacin 500 offers broad activity against gram-positive, gram-negative, and atypical organisms such as Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydophila pneumoniae.
Dosage and Administration for Levzia 500
The usual adult dose is one levofloxacin 500mg tablet once daily, but dosing depends on infection type and severity.
Take with or without food. Swallow whole with water.
Avoid taking with iron or calcium supplements, antacids, or dairy products within 2 hours — these can reduce absorption.
Complete the full course even if symptoms improve early.
Avoid unnecessary sun exposure as photosensitivity can occur.
If a dose is missed, take it soon unless it’s almost time for the next dose — do not double dose.
Always use it under doctor guidance, especially in elderly patients or those with kidney problems.
