In addition, levofloxacin capsules can penetrate the prostate barrier and demonstrate good therapeutic effects on specific diseases such as chronic bacterial prostatitis. In some cases, doctors may also prescribe this medication to prevent postoperative infections before surgery.
However, the use of levofloxacin capsules should follow medical advice. Self-medication or exceeding the recommended dosage should be avoided to reduce the occurrence of adverse reactions. Patients who are allergic to quinolone drugs should also avoid using this medication.
