1. What is Levofloxacino Teva tablets and what is it used for

This medicine is called Levofloxacino Teva tablets coated with a film. Levofloxacino Teva tablets contain an active ingredient called levofloxacino, which belongs to a group of medicines called antibiotics. Levofloxacino is an antibiotic of the quinolone type, and it 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 the flu or a cold.

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

Do not store or reuse this medicine. If you have any leftover antibiotic after treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not dispose of the medicine by flushing it down the drain or throwing it away.

Levofloxacino Teva tablets can be used to treat infections in:

  • the sinuses
  • the lungs, in people with long-standing 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 the muscles. This is sometimes referred to as "soft tissues"

In some special situations, Levofloxacino Teva tablets may be used to reduce the risk of acquiring a lung infection called anthrax or a worsening of the disease after exposure to the anthrax-causing bacteria.

2. What you need to know before starting to take Levofloxacino Teva tablets

Do not take Levofloxacino Teva tablets

  • if you are allergic to levofloxacino, other antibiotics of the quinolone type such as moxifloxacino, ciprofloxacino, or ofloxacino, or to any of the other components of this medication (listed in section 6)

The signs of an allergic reaction include: skin rash, difficulty swallowing or breathing, swelling of the lips, face, throat, or tongue

  • if you have or have had epilepsy
  • if you have ever had problems with tendons, such as tendinitis, that were related to taking medications of the quinolone type. The tendon is the tissue that connects your muscle to your skeleton
  • if you are a child or adolescent in the growth period
  • if you are pregnant, may become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant
  • if you are breastfeeding

Do not take this medication if any of the above cases apply to you. If in doubt, consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking Levofloxacino Teva tablets.

  • if you are 60 years old or older
  • if you are using corticosteroids, sometimes called steroids (see section “Other medications and Levofloxacino Teva tablets”)
  • if you have received a transplant
  • if you have ever had a seizure (convulsion)
  • if you have had brain damage due to a stroke or other brain injury
  • if you have kidney problems
  • if you have what is known as “glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency”, as you may be prone to having severe blood problems when taking this medication
  • if you have ever had mental problems
  • if you have ever had heart problems:you should be cautious when using this type of medication, if you were born with, or have a family history of, prolonged QT interval (seen on the electrocardiogram (ECG), a graphical representation of the heart's electrical activity), have an imbalance in blood salt levels (especially low levels of potassium or magnesium 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 older person, or are taking other medications that may cause abnormal changes in the ECG (see section 2 “Other medications and Levofloxacino Teva tablets”)
  • if you are diabetic
  • if you have ever had liver problems
  • if you have myasthenia gravis
  • if you have nerve problems (peripheral neuropathy)
  • if you have been diagnosed with an enlarged or a “bulge” of a large blood vessel (aortic aneurysm or a large peripheral vessel aneurysm).
  • if you have had a previous episode of aortic dissection (tear in the wall of the aorta)
  • if you have been diagnosed with heart valve insufficiency (regurgitation of heart valves)
  • if you have a family history of aortic aneurysm or aortic dissection, congenital heart valve disease, or other risk factors or predisposing conditions (e.g., Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos vascular 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, or atherosclerosis known, rheumatoid arthritis (a joint disease) or endocarditis (a heart infection)).
  • if you have ever developed a severe skin rash or skin peeling, blisters, and/or mouth sores after taking levofloxacino.

Inform your doctor or pharmacist before taking Levofloxacino Teva tablets, if you are unsure whether any of the above cases apply to you.

Do not take medications that contain fluoroquinolones or quinolones, including Levofloxacino Teva tablets, if you have had a severe reaction to a quinolone or fluoroquinolone in the past. If this is the case, inform your doctor as soon as possible.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist during treatment with Levofloxacino Teva tablets

  • if you experience a sudden, severe pain in the chest, abdomen, or back, which may be symptoms of aortic dissection or aneurysm, go immediately to an emergency service. You may be at increased risk if you are receiving systemic corticosteroid treatment.
  • if you start experiencing sudden, involuntary jerks, muscle spasms, or muscle contractions – consult a doctor immediately, as these may be signs of myoclonia. Your doctor may need to interrupt treatment with levofloxacino and start an appropriate treatment.
  • in rare cases, you may experience pain and swelling in the joints and inflammation or rupture of tendons. The risk is higher if you are an older person (over 60 years old), have received an organ transplant, have kidney problems, or are taking corticosteroids. Tendon inflammation and rupture can occur in the first 48 hours of treatment and even several months after stopping treatment with Levofloxacino Teva tablets. If you experience any pain or inflammation of a tendon (e.g., in the ankle, wrist, elbow, shoulder, or knee), stop taking Levofloxacino Teva tablets, contact your doctor, and keep the affected area at rest. 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 Levofloxacino Teva tablets and inform your doctor immediately to prevent the development of a potentially irreversible disorder.
  • if your vision worsens or if you experience any other eye changes, consult an ophthalmologist immediately (see section 2 “Driving and operating machinery” and section 4).
  • quinolone antibiotics can cause an increase in your blood sugar level above your normal level (hyperglycemia), or a decrease in your blood sugar level below normal levels, which in severe cases can cause a loss of consciousness (hypoglycemic coma) (see section 4). This is important for people with diabetes. If you have diabetes, you should monitor your blood sugar levels carefully.
  • if you start experiencing sudden, involuntary jerks, muscle spasms, or muscle contractions – consult a doctor immediately, as these may be signs of myoclonia. Your doctor may need to interrupt treatment with levofloxacino and start an appropriate treatment.
  • if you experience fatigue, pale skin, hematoma, 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 may be signs of blood disorders. Your doctor should check your blood with blood counts. If your blood counts are abnormal, your doctor may need to interrupt treatment.

Severe skin reactions

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

-SJS/TEN may initially appear on the trunk as red, ring-shaped spots or circular patches often with blisters in the center. They may also appear as ulcers in the mouth, throat, nose, genitals, and eyes (red, swollen eyes). These severe skin reactions often precede a generalized skin peeling and potentially life-threatening or fatal complications.

- DRESS initially presents with symptoms similar to the flu 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 swollen lymph nodes.

if you develop a severe skin rash or any of these symptoms, stop taking levofloxacino and contact your doctor or seek medical attention immediately.

Severe, long-lasting, and potentially irreversible adverse effects

Fluoroquinolone or quinolone-containing antibacterial medications, including Levofloxacino Teva tablets, have been associated with rare but severe adverse effects, some of which were long-lasting (persistent for months or years), incapacitating, or potentially irreversible. This includes pain in the tendons, muscles, and joints of the upper and lower extremities, difficulty walking, abnormal sensations such as pinpricks, tingling, 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 Levofloxacino Teva tablets, contact your doctor immediately before continuing treatment. You and your doctor will decide whether to continue or discontinue treatment, considering also the use of an antibiotic of another class.

Children and adolescents

This medication should not be administered to children or adolescents.

Other medications and Levofloxacino Teva tablets

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking/using, have taken/used recently, or may need to take/use any other medication.
