Product Overview
Tavanic 500mg levofloxacin tablets 5S — a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic for respiratory, urinary, and skin bacterial infections under medical prescription.
Product Description
Tavanic 500Mg Tab 5S contains levofloxacin 500mg, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic with potent activity against a wide range of gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria including atypical pathogens. Levofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes critical for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair, thereby exerting a bactericidal effect against susceptible organisms.
Tavanic is commonly prescribed for community-acquired pneumonia, acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, sinusitis, urinary tract infections including complicated UTIs and pyelonephritis, skin and soft tissue infections, and as an alternative in penicillin-allergic patients. The 500mg once-daily dose is the standard adult therapeutic dose for most indications, providing a high-peak plasma concentration that is key to the fluoroquinolone's time-independent bactericidal activity. The five-tablet pack is suitable for a range of short antibiotic courses depending on the indication, commonly five days for respiratory infections and urinary tract infections. As with all fluoroquinolones, Tavanic should only be used when clinically necessary, and the full course must be completed. Available on prescription only.
