Interactions
Domperidone: QT-prolonging Agents (Moderate Risk) may enhance the QTc-prolonging effect of Domperidone. Management: Consider alternatives to this drug combination. If combined, monitor for QTc interval prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias. Patients with additional risk factors for QTc prolongation may be at even higher risk. Consider therapy modification
Pentamidine (Systemic): May enhance the QTc-prolonging effect of QT-prolonging Quinolone Antibiotics (Moderate Risk). Management: Monitor for QTc interval prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias when these agents are combined. Patients with additional risk factors for QTc prolongation may be at even higher risk. Monitor therapy
QT-prolonging Antipsychotics (Moderate Risk): QT-prolonging Quinolone Antibiotics (Moderate Risk) may enhance the QTc-prolonging effect of QT-prolonging Antipsychotics (Moderate Risk). Management: Monitor for QTc interval prolongation and ventricular arrhythmias when these agents are combined. Patients with additional risk factors for QTc prolongation may be at even higher risk. Exceptions: Pimozide. Monitor therapy
Food interaction
Take without regard to meals. Take with water, drink lliberally. Taking this product with orange juice can result in reduced quinolone plasma levels.
Pregnancy

Overview
From the digestive system: often - nausea, diarrhea (in very rare cases with blood, which can be a sign of intestinal inflammation or pseudomembranous colitis), sometimes - loss of appetite, vomiting, abdominal pain, digestive disorders; rarely - dry mouth, gastrointestinal bleeding; very rarely - impaired liver function (hepatitis, cholelithiasis).
From the hemopoietic organs: sometimes - eosinophilia, leukopenia; rarely - neutropenia, thrombocytopenia (increased tendency to hemorrhage or bleeding); very rarely - severe agranulocytosis (accompanied by persistent or recurrent fever, inflammation of the tonsils and persistent deterioration of well-being); in some cases - hemolytic anemia, pancytopenia.
From the cardiovascular system: rarely - tachycardia, hypotension and hypertension; the frequency is not known - abnormally fast heart rate, life-threatening irregular heart rate, changes in heart rate (the so-called lengthening of the QT interval), confirmed by ECG.
From the musculoskeletal system: rarely - tendon Levoden (including tendonitis), joint and muscle pain; very rarely - Achilles tendon rupture (can be bilateral in nature and manifest within 48 hours after the start of treatment), muscle weakness (has special significance for patients with myasthenia gravis); in some cases - rhabdomyolysis.
From the genitourinary system: sometimes - vaginitis, very rarely Himetidine impaired renal function up to acute renal failure (for example, due to allergic reactions - interstitial nephritis).
Other sometimes - asthenia, increased sweating; very rarely - hypoglycemia, fever, allergic pneumonitis, vasculitis.
Laboratory indicators: sometimes - increased activity of ALT, AST, increased serum creatinine; rarely - increase in LDH, increase or decrease in glucose.
Overdose
Levoden confusion, dizziness and bouts of seizures, nausea, erosive lesions of the mucous membranes.
Treatment: symptomatic therapy (there is no specific antidote), is not excreted by dialysis. ECG monitoring prescribe be performed. Due to the possible prolongation of the QT interval.
Interaction with other drugs
Levofloxacin, like other fluoroquinolones, should be used with caution in patients receiving drugs with a known risk factor for prolonging the QT interval (for example, class IA and III antiarrhythmic drugs, tricyclic antidepressants, macrolides, antipsychotics).
With combined treatment with fenbufen and similar non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, theophylline, the drug can lower the threshold for convulsive readiness.
Sucralfate, iron salts and magnesium or aluminum containing antacids reduce the effect of levofloxacin (the interval between doses should be at least 2 hours).
With simultaneous use with warfarin, prothrombin time and bleeding risk increase (careful monitoring of INR, prothrombin time and other coagulation indicators is necessary, as well Levoden monitoring of possible signs of bleeding).
Excretion of levofloxacin slightly slows down under the action of cimetidine and probenecid. Levofloxacin causes a slight increase in T1/2 plasma cyclosporin.
Glucocorticoids increase the risk of tendon rupture (especially in the elderly).
Alcohol can increase the side effects of the central nervous system (dizziness, numbness, drowsiness).
In patients with diabetes receiving oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin, hypo- and hyperglycemic conditions are possible while taking levofloxacin (careful monitoring of blood glucose levels is recommended).
