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

The name of this medicine is Levofloxacin Qualigen film-coated tablets. Levofloxacin Qualigen contains the active substance levofloxacin, which belongs to a group of medicines called antibiotics. Levofloxacin is a quinolone antibiotic and works by killing the bacteria that cause infections in your body.

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and do not work for viral infections such as flu or the common cold.

It is important that you follow the instructions regarding dose, administration interval, and treatment duration indicated by your doctor.

Do not store or reuse this medicine. If you have leftover antibiotic after completing treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not throw medicines down the drain or in the trash.

Levofloxacino Qualigen tablets can be used to treat infections in:

  • the paranasal sinuses
  • the lungs, in people with long-term respiratory problems or pneumonia
  • the urinary tract, including the kidneys or bladder
  • the prostate, when the infection is persistent
  • the skin and under the skin, including muscles. This is sometimes referred to as "soft tissue"

In some special situations, Levofloxacino Qualigen tablets may be used to reduce the possibility of acquiring a lung infection called anthrax or worsening of such disease after being exposed to the bacteria that causes anthrax.

2. What you need to know before you take Levofloxacin Qualigen

Do not take this medicine and consult your doctor if:

  • You are allergic to levofloxacin, other quinolone antibiotics such as moxifloxacin, ciprofloxacin, or ofloxacin, or any of the other ingredients of this medicine (listed in section 6).
  • Signs of an allergic reaction include: skin rash, difficulty swallowing or breathing, swelling of the lips, face, throat, or tongue.
  • You have or have had epilepsy.
  • You have ever had tendon problems, such as tendinitis, related to treatment with quinolone antibiotics. The tendon is the tissue that connects your muscle to your skeleton.
  • You are a child or adolescent in the growth phase.
  • You are pregnant, might become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant.
  • You are breastfeeding.

Do not take this medicine if any of the above cases apply to you. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Levofloxacin Qualigen.

Warnings and precautions

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before starting to take your medicine if:

  • You are 60 years old or older.
  • You are using corticosteroids, sometimes called steroids (see section "Other medicines and Levofloxacin Qualigen").
  • You have ever had a seizure (convulsions).
  • You have had brain damage due to a stroke or other brain injury.
  • You have kidney problems.
  • You have what is known as "glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency", as you may be prone to having serious blood problems when taking this medicine.
  • You have ever had mental health problems.
  • You have ever had heart problems: caution should be exercised when using this type of medicine if you were born with, or have a family history of, prolonged QT interval (seen on an electrocardiogram (ECG), a graphical representation of the heart's electrical activity), have an imbalance in blood salt levels (especially low potassium or magnesium levels in the blood), have a slow heart rate (called "bradycardia"), have a weak heart (heart failure), have a history of heart attack (myocardial infarction), if you are a woman or an elderly person or are taking other medicines that may cause abnormal changes in the ECG (see section "Other medicines and Levofloxacin Qualigen").
  • You are diabetic.
  • You have ever had liver problems.
  • You have myasthenia gravis.
  • You have peripheral nerve disorder (peripheral neuropathy).
  • If you have been diagnosed with an aneurysm of a large blood vessel (aortic aneurysm or large peripheral vessel aneurysm).
  • If you have had a previous episode of aortic dissection (tear in the aortic wall).
  • If you have been diagnosed with heart valve insufficiency (regurgitation of the heart valves).
  • If you have a family history of aortic dissection or aneurysm, congenital heart valve disease, or other risk factors or predisposing conditions (e.g., connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Turner syndrome, or Sjögren's syndrome (an autoimmune inflammatory disease), or vascular disorders such as Takayasu arteritis, giant cell arteritis, Behçet's disease, hypertension, atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis (a joint disease), or endocarditis (a heart infection)).
  • You have developed a severe skin rash or peeling of the skin, blisters, and/or sores in the mouth after taking levofloxacin.

Severe skin reactions

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

  • SJS/TEN may initially appear on the trunk as reddish targets or circular patches often with blisters in the center. They may also appear as 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. The rashes may progress to widespread skin peeling and life-threatening or fatal complications.
  • DRESS is initially manifested by flu-like symptoms and a rash on the face, followed by a more widespread rash with elevated body temperature, elevated liver enzymes observed in blood tests, and an increase in a type of white blood cell (eosinophilia) and enlarged lymph nodes.

If you develop a severe rash or any of these skin symptoms, stop taking levofloxacin and contact your doctor or seek immediate medical attention.

Do not take antibacterial medicines that contain fluoroquinolones or quinolones, including Levofloxacin Qualigen, if you have experienced any severe adverse reaction in the past when taking a quinolone or fluoroquinolone. If this is the case, you should inform your doctor as soon as possible.

While taking your medicine:

  • If you feel a sudden and severe pain in the abdomen, chest, or back, which can be symptoms of aortic dissection or aneurysm, go to the emergency room immediately. The risk may increase if you are receiving systemic corticosteroid treatment.
  • If you start experiencing sudden onset of shortness of breath, especially when lying down, or if you notice swelling in the ankles, feet, or abdomen, or the appearance of heart palpitations (feeling of rapid or irregular heartbeat), you should inform your doctor immediately.
  • If you start experiencing sudden and involuntary jerks, muscle spasms, or muscle contractions - consult a doctor immediately, as these could be signs of myoclonus. Your doctor may need to discontinue treatment with levofloxacin and initiate appropriate treatment.
  • If you have nausea, general discomfort, have intense discomfort or persistent pain or worsening pain in the stomach area, or vomit - consult a doctor immediately, as this could be a sign of pancreatitis (acute pancreatitis).
  • If you experience fatigue, pale skin, bruising, uncontrolled bleeding, fever, sore throat, and a severe deterioration of your general condition, or a feeling that your resistance to infections may be decreased - consult a doctor immediately, as these could be signs of blood disorders. Your doctor should monitor your blood with blood counts. In case of abnormal blood counts, your doctor may need to discontinue treatment.

In rare cases, pain and swelling in the joints and inflammation or rupture of the tendons may occur. The risk is greater if you are an elderly person (over 60 years old), have received an organ transplant, have kidney problems, or are being treated with corticosteroids. Tendon inflammation and rupture can occur within the first 48 hours of treatment and even several months after stopping treatment with Levofloxacin Qualigen. At the first sign of pain or inflammation of a tendon (e.g., in the ankle, wrist, elbow, shoulder, or knee), stop taking Levofloxacin Qualigen, contact your doctor, and rest the affected area. Avoid any unnecessary exercise, as this may increase the risk of tendon rupture.

In rare cases, you may experience symptoms of nerve damage (neuropathy) such as pain, burning, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness, especially in the feet and legs or hands and arms. If this happens, stop taking Levofloxacin Qualigen and inform your doctor immediately to prevent the development of a potentially irreversible disorder.

Severe, long-lasting, and potentially irreversible adverse effects

Antibacterial medicines that contain fluoroquinolones or quinolones, including Levofloxacin Qualigen, have been associated with very rare but serious adverse effects, some of which were long-lasting (persisting for months or years), disabling, or potentially irreversible. This includes pain in the tendons, muscles, and joints of the upper and lower limbs, difficulty walking, abnormal sensations such as pins and needles, tingling, prickling, numbness, or burning (paresthesia), sensory disorders such as decreased vision, taste, smell, and hearing, depression, decreased memory, intense fatigue, and severe sleep disorders.

If you experience any of these adverse effects after taking Levofloxacin Qualigen, contact your doctor immediately before continuing treatment. You and your doctor will decide whether to continue or not, also considering the use of an antibiotic of another class.

Inform your doctor or pharmacist before taking Levofloxacin Qualigen if you are not sure if any of the above cases apply to you.

Other medicines and Levofloxacin Qualigen

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might take any other medicines. This is because Levofloxacin Qualigen may affect the way other medicines work. Also, some medicines may affect the way Levofloxacin Qualigen works.

In particular, inform your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines, as they may increase the risk of adverse effects when taken with Levofloxacin Qualigen:

  • Corticosteroids, sometimes called steroids - used for inflammation. You may have a greater chance of experiencing tendon inflammation and/or rupture.
  • Warfarin - used to make the blood more fluid. You may have a greater chance of bleeding. Your doctor may need to perform periodic blood tests to check if your blood is clotting correctly.
  • Theophylline - used for respiratory problems. You may have a greater chance of experiencing a seizure (convulsions) if you take it with Levofloxacin Qualigen.
  • Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) - used for pain and inflammation such as acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, fenbufen, ketoprofen, indomethacin. You may have a greater chance of experiencing a seizure (convulsions) when taking them with Levofloxacin Qualigen.
  • Cyclosporine - used after organ transplants. You may have a greater chance of experiencing the adverse effects of cyclosporine.
  • Medicines with known effects on heart rhythm. This includes medicines used for abnormal heart rhythm (antiarrhythmics such as quinidine, hydroquinidine, disopyramide, sotalol, dofetilide, ibutilide, and amiodarone), for depression (tricyclic antidepressants such as amitriptyline and imipramine), for psychiatric disorders (antipsychotics), and for bacterial infections (macrolide antibiotics such as erythromycin, azithromycin, and clarithromycin).
  • Probenecid used for gout. Your doctor may need to give you a lower dose if you have kidney problems.
  • Cimetidine used for ulcers and heartburn. Your doctor may need to give you a lower dose if you have kidney problems.

Inform your doctor if any of the above cases apply to you.

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

  • Iron tablets (for anemia), zinc supplements, antacids that contain aluminum or magnesium (for acidity or heartburn), didanosine, or sucralfate (for stomach ulcers). See section 3 "If you are already taking iron tablets, zinc supplements, antacids, didanosine, or sucralfate" below.

Determination of opiates in urine

Urine tests may show "false positive" results for the presence of strong painkillers called "opiates" in patients taking Levofloxacin Qualigen. Inform your doctor that you are taking Levofloxacin Qualigen if you have been prescribed a urine test.

Tuberculosis test

This medicine may cause a "false negative" result in some laboratory tests that look for the bacteria that causes tuberculosis.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Do not take this medicine if:

  • you are pregnant, might become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant
  • you are breastfeeding or plan to breastfeed

Driving and using machines

Some adverse effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, altered balance (vertigo), or visual disturbances may occur. Some of these adverse effects may affect your ability to concentrate or reduce your reaction time. If this happens, do not drive or perform any work that requires a high level of attention.

Levofloxacin contains sodium

This medicine contains less than 23 mg of sodium (1 mmol) per tablet; it is essentially "sodium-free"
