Levofloxacin Mesylate for Injection
Function and Efficacy
This product is the levorotatory form of ofloxacin, and its antibacterial activity is about twice that of ofloxacin. Its main mechanism of action is to inhibit the activity of bacterial DNA gyrase (bacterial topoisomerase II) and hinder the replication of bacterial DNA to achieve antibacterial effect. This product has the characteristics of broad antibacterial spectrum and strong antibacterial effect. It has strong antibacterial activity against most Enterobacteriaceae, such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Serratia, Proteus, Shigella, Salmonella, Citrobacter, Acinetobacter, and Gram-negative bacteria such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Haemophilus influenzae, and Neisseria gonorrhoeae. It also has good antibacterial effect on some methicillin-sensitive Staphylococci, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, hemolytic Streptococci, and Legionella, Mycoplasma, and Chlamydia, but has poor effect on anaerobic bacteria and enterococci.

Before use, dissolve it in 100ml of 0.9% sodium chloride injection or 5% glucose injection and drip it intravenously. Adults take 0.4g per day, divided into 2 intravenous drips. For patients with severe infections and those with poor sensitivity of pathogens to this product (such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa), the maximum daily dose can be increased to 0.6g, divided into 2 intravenous drips. For patients with impaired renal function, the dosage is determined according to the creatinine clearance rate: creatinine clearance rate 50-80ml/min normal dose 20-49ml/min first dose 0.4g 0.2g every 24 hours thereafter, 10-19ml/min first dose 0.4g 0.2g every 48 hours thereafter, this preparation is specially for intravenous drip, and the drip time is at least 60 minutes per 100ml.
