For how long do I take Levolife?

- Skin infections
- Sinus infections

How do I know if Levolife is working?
Improvement in symptoms such as reduced fever, less pain, and better energy levels suggests Levolife is working. Contact your doctor if symptoms persist or worsen.

How does Levolife work?
Levolife works by inhibiting two bacterial enzymes: DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are crucial for bacterial DNA replication and repair. By blocking these enzymes, Levolife prevents the bacteria from replicating and repairing their DNA, ultimately leading to bacterial cell death. This action makes Levolife effective against a broad spectrum of Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.

Who should avoid taking Levolife?
Levolife is a strong antibiotic, but it can cause serious problems like painful tendons (tendinitis), torn tendons, nerve damage (in your arms and legs or brain), and worsening of a muscle weakness condition (myasthenia gravis). If you experience any of these, stop taking the medicine right away and don't take it again. If you've had tendon problems before, you shouldn't take this antibiotic.

Can I take Levolife with other prescription drugs?
Levolife is a medicine that can have strong effects when taken with other medications. If you're taking it, you need to be extra careful. Taking it with blood thinners like warfarin increases bleeding chances, so your doctor will need to check your blood often. It can also affect blood sugar levels if you're on diabetes medicine, so careful monitoring is needed. Combining it with pain relievers like ibuprofen (NSAIDs) raises the risk of seizures. Finally, avoid taking it near antacids, sucralfate, or certain vitamins because they can stop it from working properly. Always talk to your doctor or pharmacist about all the medicines you are taking.
