PHARMACOKINETICS

Suction

After oral administration, levofloxacin is rapidly and almost completely absorbed from the digestive tract.
Food intake has little effect on the speed and completeness of absorption. Bioavailability is 99%. C max in plasma is achieved after 1-2 hours and for levofloxacin in doses of 250 mg, 500 and 750 mg is 2.8 Ојg / ml, 5.2 Ојg / ml and 8 Ојg / ml, respectively.
Distribution

After taking a single or multiple dose, the amount of absorbed drug is directly proportional to the dose taken.
C ss in plasma is achieved after 48 hours. The average Vd of levofloxacin varies from 74 to 112 liters. Binding to plasma proteins is 30-40%. It penetrates well into organs and tissues: lungs, bronchial mucosa, sputum, alveolar macrophages (concentration in the lung tissues is 2-5 times higher than the concentration in the plasma), organs of the genitourinary system, polymorphonuclear leukocytes.
Metabolism

Levofloxacin undergoes a limited metabolism in the liver (oxidation and / or deacetylation).

Excretion

It is excreted from the body mainly by the kidneys through glomerular filtration and tubular secretion.
T 1/2 levofloxacin 6-8 hours. Less than 5% of the dose received is excreted as desmethyl- and N-oxide metabolites. In unchanged form, 70% of the dose taken internally is excreted by the kidneys within 24 hours and 87% in 48 hours. 4% of the ingested dose is excreted by the intestine within 72 hours.

APPLICATION FOR VIOLATIONS OF THE FUNCTION OF KIDNEYS

If there is a violation of the liver function, dose adjustment is not required, because
the volume of metabolism of levofloxacin in the liver is limited.
APPLICATION FOR CHILDREN

Contraindicated in children and adolescents under 18 years.

APPLICATION IN ELDERLY PATIENTS

Caution should be given to elderly patients (high probability of concomitant decrease in kidney function).

SPECIAL INSTRUCTIONS

After normalization of body temperature, it is recommended to continue treatment for at least 48-72 hours.

Levofloxacin is taken at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after the administration of magnesium / aluminum antacids, or sucralfate, or other drugs containing calcium, iron or zinc.

Due to possible photosensitization during the treatment period and within 5 days after the end of levofloxacin treatment, sunlight and artificial ultraviolet irradiation should be avoided.
With the development of phototoxicity, drug treatment should be discontinued.
When there are signs of tendonitis and pseudomembranous colitis, levofloxacin is immediately withdrawn.

It should be borne in mind that in patients with a history of brain damage (stroke, severe trauma) may develop seizures.

With insufficiency of glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, the risk of hemolytic reactions is possible.

Patients with diabetes mellitus during treatment with levofloxacin should carefully monitor blood glucose levels.

With the simultaneous use of levofloxacin and warfarin, monitoring of prothrombin time, INR or other coagulation indicators, as well as monitoring of bleeding symptoms, is indicated.

Data on the use of the preparation Haileflex (750 mg) in the operation of radical or sparing sinusotomy in patients with chronic odontogenic perforated maxillary sinusitis testifies to the high clinical efficacy.
Microbiological control of the drug application showed that 750 mg once a day for 10 days suppresses a number of aggressive bacteria capable of causing infectious complications. The results obtained make it possible to recommend the preparation Haileflex (750 mg) in order to prevent inflammatory complications of the operation of sparing sinusotomy with plastic oroanthral communication.
Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and manage mechanisms

On the background of taking levofloxacin, the patient's ability to concentrate and speed of psychomotor reactions may be impaired.
In this regard, care must be taken when driving vehicles and engaging in other potentially hazardous activities.
OVERDOSE

Symptoms: nausea, erosive lesions of the mucous membranes of the gastrointestinal tract, prolongation of the QT interval, confusion, dizziness, convulsions.

Treatment: gastric lavage, if necessary - symptomatic therapy.
There is no specific antidote, dialysis is ineffective.
DRUG INTERACTION

Levofloxacin increases T 1/2 cyclosporin.

The effect of levofloxacin reduces drugs that depress intestinal motility, sucralfate, aluminum-or magnesium-containing antacid drugs and iron preparations.

NSAIDs and theophylline, when used concomitantly with levofloxacin, increase the risk of seizures in predisposed patients, and SCS increases the risk of rupture of tendons.

With the simultaneous administration of levofloxacin with hypoglycemic drugs, changes in blood glucose levels, including hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, are possible.

Levofloxacin increases the effect of warfarin.

Cimetidine and drugs that block tubular secretion slow the withdrawal of levofloxacin.
