Full Prescribing Info

Action

Pharmacology: Pharmacokinetics: Levofloxacin is rapidly and almost completely absorbed after oral use with peak plasma concentrations achieved within 1 hour of a dose. It is distributed into body tissues including the bronchial mucosa and lungs, but penetration into CSF is relatively poor. Levofloxacin is about 30 to 40% bound to plasma proteins. It is only metabolised to a small degree to inactive metabolites. The elimination half-life of levofloxacin is 6 to 8 hours, although this may be prolonged in patients with renal impairment. Levofloxacin is excreted largely unchanged, primarily in the urine. It is not removed by haemodialyiss or peritoneal dialysis.
