What Experts Say

Levofloxacin works by blocking the enzymes bacteria need to copy their DNA, stopping the infection from spreading further in the body.

The suspension form is measured with the marked spoon or syringe provided, and the dose depends on body weight and the infection being treated.

Fluoroquinolone antibiotics are generally avoided in children due to possible effects on developing joints, so use should follow a doctor's specific instructions.
