Levofloxacin tablets are generally suitable for treating gastroenteritis. As a broad-spectrum antibacterial agent, levofloxacin helps eliminate bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract, thereby improving gastroenteritis symptoms. However, this medication must not be taken without medical supervision; it should only be used under a physician’s guidance to avoid potential adverse effects on the body.
