Flostar-500
Description_Effects
Flostar-500 contains Levofloxacin 500mg, a broad-spectrum antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections. It belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics and is highly effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. This medication works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, an enzyme essential for bacterial replication, thereby killing the bacteria and stopping the spread of infection. Flostar-500 is commonly prescribed for respiratory tract infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia, urinary tract infections, sinusitis, ear and throat infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and certain types of gastrointestinal infections. Patients usually begin to feel relief soon after starting the medication, but it is essential to complete the full course as prescribed by the physician, even if symptoms improve earlier. This helps prevent the recurrence of infection and reduces the risk of developing antibiotic resistance. Flostar-500 should be taken with plenty of fluids and may be taken with or without food, depending on the doctor's advice. Some common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, headache, or dizziness, which are usually mild and temporary. In rare cases, it may cause tendon inflammation or allergic reactions, so medical supervision is important. Always consult a healthcare provider before starting or stopping this medicine.
