The Efficacy and Function of Levofloxacin Tablets
Disease description:
I am a 23-year-old male. Yesterday, I visited the hospital due to acute gastroenteritis, and the doctor prescribed me levofloxacin tablets. Isn't this an antibiotic? Could you please tell me the efficacy and uses of levofloxacin tablets?

Levofloxacin is a widely used antibiotic in clinical practice and belongs to the class of broad-spectrum antibiotics. It demonstrates antibacterial activity against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacilli. Its antibacterial mechanism primarily involves inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, thereby preventing bacterial replication and exerting an antibacterial effect. The efficacy and applications of Levofloxacin tablets include:
1. Respiratory system infections, such as acute and chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, and tonsillitis;
2. Urinary and reproductive system infections, such as pyelonephritis, urinary tract infections, prostatitis, adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and epididymitis;
3. Intestinal infections, such as acute gastroenteritis and bacillary dysentery.
