What Experts Say

Levofloxacin stops bacteria from copying their own genetic material, which kills a wide range of bacteria causing common infections.

It is usually taken once daily for a fixed number of days, and the full course should be completed even if symptoms improve early.

It carries warnings for tendon problems and nerve effects, so it is generally reserved for infections where other antibiotics are not suitable.
