1. What Levofloxacino Sandoz is and what it is used for

The name of this medicine is Levofloxacino Sandoz. Levofloxacino Sandoz tablets contain an active substance called levofloxacin, which belongs to a group of medicines known as antibiotics. Levofloxacin is an antibiotic of the “quinolone” type and works by killing the bacteria that cause infections in your body.

Antibiotics are used to treat bacterial infections and are not effective against viral infections such as the flu or the common cold.

It is important that you follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage, administration, and duration of treatment.

Do not store or reuse this medicine. If you have any antibiotic left over after completing your treatment, return it to the pharmacy for proper disposal. Do not dispose of medicines via the sink or in household waste.

Levofloxacin tablets can be used to treat infections in:

  • the 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 beneath the skin, including muscles. This is sometimes referred to as “soft tissues.”

In certain special situations, levofloxacin tablets may be used to reduce the chance of developing or worsening a lung infection called anthrax after exposure to the bacteria that cause anthrax.

2. What you need to know before taking Levofloxacin Sandoz

Do not take Levofloxacin Sandoz and consult your doctor if:

  • you are allergic to levofloxacin, to other antibiotics of the quinolone type such as moxifloxacin, ciprofloxacin or ofloxacin, or to 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 lips, face, throat or tongue,
  • you suffer or have suffered from epilepsy,
  • you have previously experienced tendon problems, such as tendinitis, related to taking quinolone-type antibiotics. Tendons are the tissues connecting your muscles to the skeleton,
  • you are a child or adolescent still in the growth phase,
  • you are pregnant, could become pregnant, or think you might be pregnant,
  • you are breastfeeding.

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

Warnings and precautions

Before starting this medicine

You must not take fluoroquinolone/quinolone-type antibacterial medicines, including Levofloxacin Sandoz, if you have previously experienced a serious adverse reaction to a quinolone or fluoroquinolone. In such a case, inform your doctor as soon as possible.

Consult your doctor or pharmacist before taking levofloxacin if:

  • you are aged 60 years or older,
  • you are taking corticosteroids, sometimes called steroids (see section “Other medicines and Levofloxacin Sandoz”),
  • you have undergone an organ transplant,
  • you have ever had a seizure (epileptic fit),
  • you have suffered brain damage due to stroke or other brain injury,
  • you have kidney problems,
  • you have what is known as “glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency”. You may be more prone to serious blood problems while taking this medicine,
  • you have ever had mental health problems,
  • you have ever had heart problems: caution is required when using this type of medicine if you were born with, or have a family history of, QT interval prolongation (seen on electrocardiogram [ECG], a graphical representation of the heart’s electrical activity), if you have an imbalance in blood electrolyte levels (especially low potassium or magnesium levels), if you have a slow heart rate (called “bradycardia”), if you have weak heart function (heart failure), if you have a history of heart attack (myocardial infarction), if you are female or elderly, or if you are taking other medicines that may cause abnormal changes in the ECG (see section “Other medicines and Levofloxacin Sandoz”),
  • you are diabetic,
  • you have ever had liver problems,
  • you suffer from myasthenia gravis,
  • you have nerve problems (peripheral neuropathy),
  • you have been diagnosed with an enlarged blood vessel or “bulge” in a large blood vessel (aortic aneurysm or peripheral large-vessel aneurysm),
  • you have previously experienced an aortic dissection (tearing of the aortic wall),
  • you have been diagnosed with heart valve insufficiency (valvular regurgitation),
  • you have a family history of aortic dissection or aneurysm, congenital heart valve disease, or other predisposing risk factors or disorders (e.g., connective tissue disorders such as Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome, Turner syndrome, or Sjögren's syndrome (an inflammatory autoimmune disease), or vascular disorders such as Takayasu arteritis, giant cell arteritis, Behçet's disease, hypertension, known atherosclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis (a joint disease), or endocarditis (a heart infection)),
  • you have previously developed a severe skin rash, skin peeling, blisters, and/or mouth sores after taking levofloxacin.

Serious skin reactions

Serious skin reactions, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS), toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN), drug reaction with eosinophilia and systemic symptoms (DRESS), and acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP), have been reported with the use of levofloxacin.

  • SJS/TEN may initially appear on the trunk as red, target-like spots or circular patches, often with blisters in the center. Ulcers may also develop in the mouth, throat, nose, genitals, and eyes (red, 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 can lead to life-threatening complications or be fatal.
  • DRESS initially presents with flu-like symptoms and a facial rash, followed by a more widespread rash, fever, elevated liver enzymes in blood tests, increased white blood cells (eosinophilia), and swollen lymph nodes.
  • Widespread red, scaly rash with bumps under the skin (including skin folds, chest, abdomen [including stomach], back, and arms) and blisters, accompanied by fever. Symptoms typically appear early in treatment (acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis).

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

Inform your doctor or pharmacist before taking levofloxacin if you are unsure whether any of the above conditions apply to you.

Quinolone-type antibiotics may cause an increase in your blood sugar levels above normal (hyperglycemia), or a decrease in blood sugar levels below normal, which in severe cases may lead to loss of consciousness (hypoglycemic coma) (see section 4). This is particularly important for people with diabetes. If you have diabetes, your blood sugar levels should be closely monitored.

Inform your doctor, nurse, or pharmacist while taking Levofloxacin Sandoz:

  • If you experience sudden, severe pain in the abdomen, chest, or back, which may be symptoms of aortic dissection or aneurysm, go immediately to the emergency department. Your risk may be increased if you are receiving systemic corticosteroid treatment.
  • If you suddenly develop shortness of breath, especially when lying down, or notice swelling in your ankles, feet, or abdomen, or experience palpitations (sensation of rapid or irregular heartbeat), inform your doctor immediately.
  • If you have nausea, general malaise, severe or persistent pain in the stomach area, or worsening pain, or if you vomit—consult a doctor immediately, as this could be a sign of pancreas inflammation (acute pancreatitis).

Rarely, joint pain and swelling, and tendon inflammation or rupture, may occur. Your risk increases if you are elderly (over 60 years), have had an organ transplant, have kidney problems, or are taking corticosteroids. Tendon inflammation and rupture may occur within the first 48 hours of treatment and even several months after stopping levofloxacin. At the first sign of tendon pain or swelling (e.g., in your ankle, wrist, elbow, shoulder, or knee), stop taking levofloxacin, contact your doctor, and rest the affected area. Avoid unnecessary physical activity, as this may increase the risk of tendon rupture.

Rarely, symptoms of nerve damage (neuropathy) such as pain, burning, tingling, numbness, and/or weakness, especially in the feet and legs or hands and arms, may occur. If this happens, stop taking levofloxacin and inform your doctor immediately to prevent potentially irreversible damage.

Serious, disabling, long-lasting, and potentially irreversible adverse effects

Antibacterial medicines containing fluoroquinolones/quinolones, including levofloxacin, 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. These include tendon, muscle, and joint pain in the upper and lower limbs, difficulty walking, abnormal sensations such as pricking, tingling, pins and needles, numbness, or burning (paresthesia), sensory disturbances such as reduced vision, taste, smell, or hearing, depression, memory impairment, severe fatigue, and serious sleep disorders.

If you experience any of these adverse effects after taking levofloxacin, contact your doctor immediately before continuing treatment. You and your doctor will decide whether to continue treatment, possibly considering the use of an antibiotic from another class.

If you are unsure whether any of the above apply to you, speak with your doctor or pharmacist before taking Levofloxacin Sandoz.

Other medicines and Levofloxacin Sandoz

Inform your doctor or pharmacist if you are taking, have recently taken, or might need to take any other medicines. This is because levofloxacin may affect how other medicines work. Additionally, some medicines may affect how levofloxacin works.

In particular, inform your doctor if you are taking any of the following medicines, as they increase the likelihood of experiencing adverse effects when taken with levofloxacin:

  • corticosteroids, sometimes called steroids – used for inflammation. You may be more likely to experience tendon inflammation and/or rupture,
  • warfarin – used to thin the blood. You may have a higher risk of bleeding. Your doctor may need periodic blood tests to check your blood’s clotting ability,
  • theophylline – used for respiratory problems. You may have a higher risk of seizures when taking it with levofloxacin,
  • non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) – used for pain and inflammation, such as acetylsalicylic acid, ibuprofen, fenbufen, ketoprofen, and indomethacin. You may have a higher risk of seizures when taking them with levofloxacin,
  • cyclosporine – used after organ transplants. You may be more likely to experience cyclosporine’s adverse effects,
  • medicines known to affect 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 amitriptiline and imipramine), for psychiatric disorders (antipsychotics), and for bacterial infections (macrolide antibiotics such as erythromycin, azithromycin, and clarithromycin),
  • probenecid (used for gout) and cimetidine (used for ulcers and heartburn). Special caution is required when taking these with levofloxacin. If you have kidney problems, your doctor may consider a lower dose.

Do not take levofloxacin tablets at the same time as the following medicines, as they may interfere with the action of levofloxacin tablets:

  • iron tablets (for anemia), zinc supplements, antacids containing aluminium 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.

Opiate urine testing

Urine tests may show “false positive” results for strong painkillers called “opiates” in patients taking levofloxacin. Inform your doctor that you are taking levofloxacin if you are asked to provide a urine sample.

Tuberculosis testing

This medicine may cause a “false negative” result in certain laboratory tests used to detect the bacteria causing tuberculosis.

Pregnancy and breastfeeding

Do not take this medicine if:

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

Driving and using machines

Some adverse effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, dizziness (vertigo), or visual disturbances may occur after taking this medicine. Some of these effects may affect your ability to concentrate or reduce your reaction speed. If this occurs, do not drive or operate machinery requiring high attention.

Levofloxacin Sandoz film-coated tablets contain lactose and sodium

If your doctor has informed you that you have an intolerance to certain sugars, consult with him before taking this medicine.

This medicine contains less than 1 mmol of sodium (23 mg) per tablet; hence, it is essentially “sodium-free”.
