1. What is Levofloxacin Genoptim and what is it used for

The name of the medicine is Levofloxacin Genoptim. Levofloxacin Genoptim contains the active substance levofloxacin, which belongs to a group of medicines called antibiotics. Levofloxacin is a "quinolone" antibiotic. Its action involves killing bacteria that cause infections in the body.

Levofloxacin Genoptim is used to treat infections:

  • of the sinuses
  • of the lungs, in people with chronic breathing difficulties or pneumonia
  • of the urinary system, including the kidneys and bladder
  • of the prostate, when the infection is long-term
  • of the skin and subcutaneous tissue, including muscles, sometimes referred to as "soft tissues"

In some cases, Levofloxacin Genoptim may be used to prevent a lung disease called anthrax, which can occur after contact with anthrax-causing bacteria or may be used to treat this disease.

2. Important information before using Levofloxacin Genoptim

When not to use this medicine and consult a doctor:

  • If the patient has been diagnosed with an allergy to levofloxacin, any other quinolone antibiotic, such as moxifloxacin, ciprofloxacin, or ofloxacin, or any of the other ingredients of Levofloxacin Genoptim (listed in section 6). Symptoms of an allergic reaction are: rash, difficulty swallowing or breathing, swelling of the lips, face, throat, or tongue.

of an allergic reaction are: rash, difficulty swallowing or breathing, swelling of the lips, face, throat, or tongue.

  • If the patient has ever had seizures.
  • If the patient has ever had tendon problems, such as tendonitis related to quinolone antibiotic treatment. A tendon is a cord that connects muscles to the skeleton.
  • In children and adolescents during growth.
  • In pregnant women, women who may become pregnant, or when pregnancy is suspected.
  • During breastfeeding.

Do not use this medicine if any of the above statements apply to the patient. In case of doubts, before using Levofloxacin Genoptim, consult a doctor or pharmacist.

Warnings and precautions

Before starting to use Levofloxacin Genoptim, consult a doctor or pharmacist if:

  • the patient is 60 years old or more
  • the patient is using corticosteroids, sometimes called steroids (see "Levofloxacin Genoptim and other medicines")
  • the patient has had an organ transplant
  • the patient has had seizures (epileptic fits) in the past
  • the patient has had brain damage in the past due to a stroke or other brain injury
  • the patient has kidney disease
  • the patient has a diagnosed "glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency". The patient may be more prone to developing serious blood disorders while using this medicine
  • the patient has had mental health problems in the past
  • the patient has had heart problems: caution should be exercised when using this medicine if the patient has a congenital prolongation of the QT interval (visible in an ECG, i.e., an electrical activity test of the heart), the patient has electrolyte disturbances in the blood (especially low potassium or magnesium levels in the blood), the patient has a slow heart rate (bradycardia), the patient's heart function is impaired (heart failure), the patient has had a heart attack (myocardial infarction) in the past, the patient is a woman or an elderly person or is taking other medicines that cause abnormal changes in the ECG recording (see "Levofloxacin Genoptim and other medicines")
  • the patient has diabetes
  • the patient has had liver problems in the past
  • the patient suffers from myasthenia
  • the patient has nerve damage (peripheral neuropathy)
  • the patient has an enlarged large blood vessel (aortic or large peripheral artery aneurysm)
  • the patient has had an aortic dissection (tear in the aortic wall) in the past
  • the patient has been diagnosed with heart valve leakage
  • there have been cases of aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection or congenital heart valve disease, or other risk factors or conditions predisposing to it (e.g., connective tissue diseases

such as Marfan syndrome or Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Turner syndrome, Sjögren's syndrome (an autoimmune inflammatory disease) or vascular diseases such as Takayasu arteritis, giant cell arteritis, Behçet's disease, hypertension, or confirmed atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis (joint disease) or endocarditis (heart infection))

  • the patient has ever experienced a severe skin rash or skin peeling, blistering, and (or) ulcers after using levofloxacin.

Severe skin reactions

Severe skin reactions have been reported during levofloxacin treatment, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), and drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS).

  • SJS or TEN may initially appear as red, target-like, or circular patches, often with blisters in the center on the torso. They may also cause ulcers in the mouth, throat, nose, genitals, and eyes (red and swollen eyes). These severe skin rashes are often preceded by fever and (or) flu-like symptoms. These rashes can lead to widespread skin peeling, which can be life-threatening or fatal.
  • In DRESS syndrome, flu-like symptoms and a rash on the face initially occur, followed by a widespread rash with high body temperature, elevated liver enzymes, and an increased white blood cell count (eosinophilia), as well as swollen lymph nodes and other body organs.

If a severe rash or any of these skin symptoms occur, discontinue levofloxacin and consult a doctor or seek immediate medical attention. Do not take antibacterial medicines containing fluoroquinolones or quinolones, including levofloxacin, if the patient has experienced any severe adverse reaction while taking a quinolone or fluoroquinolone in the past. In such a case, inform the doctor as soon as possible.

If the patient is using this medicine:

  • In case of sudden severe abdominal, back, or chest pain, which may be a sign of an aortic aneurysm or dissection, seek emergency medical attention immediately. The risk of these changes may be higher in patients treated with systemic corticosteroids.
  • In case of sudden shortness of breath, especially when lying down, or swelling of the ankles, feet, or abdomen, or palpitations (feeling of rapid or irregular heartbeat), consult a doctor immediately.
  • If the following occur: sudden, involuntary muscle twitches, muscle tremors, or muscle spasms, seek medical attention immediately, as they may be symptoms of myoclonus. The doctor may decide to discontinue levofloxacin and initiate appropriate treatment.
  • If the following occur: fatigue, pale skin, bruising, uncontrolled bleeding, fever, sore throat, and significant deterioration of health or feeling of reduced resistance to infections - seek medical attention immediately, as they may be symptoms of blood disorders. The doctor should monitor the patient's blood test results. If abnormalities are found in the blood test results, the doctor may decide to discontinue treatment.

Rarely, pain and swelling of the joints and tendon inflammation or rupture may occur. The risk is increased in elderly patients (over 60 years old), after organ transplantation, in patients with kidney problems, or during corticosteroid treatment. Tendon inflammation and rupture can occur within the first 48 hours of treatment and even several months after discontinuing Levofloxacin Genoptim. After the first symptoms of pain or tendon inflammation appear (e.g., in the ankle, wrist, elbow, shoulder, or knee), discontinue Levofloxacin Genoptim, consult a doctor, and rest the affected area. Avoid excessive strain, as it may increase the risk of tendon rupture. The patient may rarely experience symptoms of nerve damage (neuropathy), such as pain, burning, tingling, numbness, and (or) weakness, especially in the feet and legs and hands and arms. In such a case, discontinue Levofloxacin Genoptim and inform the doctor immediately to prevent the development of potentially irreversible disease.

Long-term, disabling, and potentially irreversible serious side effects

Fluoroquinolone and quinolone antibacterial medicines, including Levofloxacin Genoptim, have been associated with very rare but serious side effects. Some of these have been long-term (lasting for months or years), disabling, or potentially irreversible. These include: tendon pain, muscle pain, and joint pain in the upper and lower limbs, walking difficulties, abnormal sensations, such as tingling, burning, itching, numbness, or prickling (paresthesia), sensory disturbances, including vision, taste, and smell and hearing disorders, depression, memory impairment, severe fatigue, and severe sleep disturbances. If any of these side effects occur after taking Levofloxacin Genoptim, consult a doctor before continuing treatment. The patient and doctor will decide whether to continue treatment, also considering antibiotics from another group.

Levofloxacin Genoptim and other medicines

Inform the doctor or pharmacist about all medicines currently being taken and recently taken, including those available without a prescription. This is because Levofloxacin Genoptim may affect the action of other medicines. Also, some medicines may affect the way Levofloxacin Genoptim works. It is especially important to inform the doctor about the medicines listed below, as their concurrent use with Levofloxacin Genoptim may increase the risk of side effects.

  • Corticosteroids, sometimes called steroids, used to treat inflammation. The patient may be more prone to tendon inflammation and (or) rupture.
  • Warfarin, which reduces blood clotting. The patient may be more prone to bleeding. The doctor may order regular blood clotting tests.
  • Theophylline, used to treat breathing problems. Concurrent use of Levofloxacin Genoptim with this medicine may increase the risk of seizures (epileptic fits).
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory medicines (NSAIDs) used for pain and inflammation, such as acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, fenbufen, ketoprofen, and indomethacin. The patient may be more prone to seizures (epileptic fits) when taking Levofloxacin Genoptim.
  • Cyclosporine, used after organ transplantation. The patient may be more prone to cyclosporine side effects.
  • Medicines that affect heart function. These include medicines used to treat heart rhythm disorders (anti-arrhythmic medicines, such as quinidine, hydroquinidine, disopyramide, sotalol, dofetilide, ibutilide, and amiodarone), depression (tricyclic antidepressants, such as amitriptyline and imipramine), mental disorders (antipsychotic medicines), and bacterial infections (macrolide antibiotics, such as erythromycin, azithromycin, and clarithromycin).

Inform the doctor if any of the above points apply to the patient.

Do not take Levofloxacin Genoptim at the same time as the following medicines, as they may affect the action of Levofloxacin Genoptim:

  • Medicines containing iron (used for anemia), zinc preparations, antacids containing magnesium or aluminum (used for acidity or heartburn), didanosine, or sucralfate (used for stomach ulcers). See section 3 below "If the patient is already taking medicines containing iron, zinc preparations, antacids, didanosine, or sucralfate".

Tests for detecting opioids in urine

The results of tests for detecting strong painkillers called opioids in urine may be falsely positive in patients taking Levofloxacin Genoptim. If the doctor has ordered a urine test, the patient should inform the doctor that they are taking this medicine.

Tests for tuberculosis

This medicine may give false-negative results in some laboratory tests used to detect tuberculosis-causing bacteria.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Do not use this medicine if:

  • the patient is pregnant, may become pregnant, or is suspected to be pregnant
  • the patient is breastfeeding or plans to breastfeed

Driving and using machines

After using this medicine, side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, feeling of spinning, or vision disturbances may occur. Some of these side effects may impair concentration and reaction speed. In such a case, do not drive vehicles or perform any work that requires a high level of attention.
