Levofloxacin exerts antibacterial and anti-inflammatory effects. As an antibiotic with anti-inflammatory properties, it is highly effective in treating urinary tract infections—such as cystitis and urethritis—caused by anaerobic bacteria. It also provides therapeutic benefits for gastrointestinal and respiratory infections. Some patients may experience adverse reactions after taking this medication, including abdominal pain and nausea.
