WHERE TO BUY ANTIBIOTICS:
Prescription Drug:
Tavanic tablets and injection contain the active ingredient levofloxacin, which is a type of medicine called a quinolone antibiotic. Antibiotics are used to treat infections caused by bacteria.
Levofloxacin works by killing the bacteria that are causing an infection. It does this by entering the bacterial cells and inhibiting a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase. This enzyme is involved in replicating and repairing the genetic material (DNA) of the bacteria. If this enzyme doesn't work, the bacteria cannot reproduce or repair themselves and this kills the bacteria.
Levofloxacin is effective against a large number of bacteria. It is used to treat a range of infections, including infections of the chest, urinary tract and skin.
To make sure the bacteria causing an infection are susceptible to levofloxacin, your doctor may take a tissue sample, for example a swab from the throat or skin, or a urine or blood sample.
Levofloxacin is used for the treatment of infections.
Even if your condition improves it is important to complete the prescribed course or your infection could come back.
The most common side effects are feeling sick, diarrhoea, dizziness and headache.
Important: If you experience pain or inflammation in your joints, particularly hips, knees or ankles stop taking levofloxacin and rest the limb until the pain eases and contact your doctor the next working day.
Levofloxacin is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections; it works by killing bacteria that cause the infection.
No Prescription:
Many common infections in humans are caused by single cell organisms, called bacteria. Bacteria can grow and multiply, infecting different parts of the body. Medicines that control and eradicate these bacteria are called antibiotics. Levofloxacin is an antibiotic that stops multiplication of bacteria by preventing the reproduction and repair of their genetic material (DNA). It is in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones, a class that includes ciprofloxacin (Cipro), norfloxacin (Noroxin), ofloxacin (Floxin), trovafloxacin (Trovan), and lomefloxacin (Maxaquin). Levofloxacin was approved by the FDA in 1996.
Drug without Prescription:
Levofloxacin cures a variety of bacterial infections, including several types of sinus infection and pneumonia. It is also prescribed for flare-ups of chronic bronchitis, acute kidney infections, certain urinary or chronic prostate infections, and skin infections. Levofloxacin is a member of the quinolone family of antibiotics.
Levofloxacin has been known to cause dangerous allergic reactions as soon as you take the first dose. Stop taking the drug and call your doctor immediately if you develop any of the following warning signs:
Skin rash, hives, or any other skin reaction
Rapid heartbeat
Difficulty swallowing or breathing
Swelling of the face, lips, tongue, or throat

Acute flare-ups of chronic bronchitis
Community-acquired pneumonia
Bacterial infections of the urinary tract, such as cystitis and kidney infections (pyelonephritis)
Chronic bacterial infection of the prostate gland (prostatitis)
Bacterial infections of the skin or soft tissue
Levofloxacin is used to treat infections of the sinuses, skin, lungs, ears, airways, bones, and joints caused by susceptible bacteria. Levofloxacin also is frequently used to treat urinary infections, including those resistant to other antibiotics, as well as prostatitis. Levofloxacin is effective in treating infectious diarrheas caused by E. coli, campylobacter jejuni, and shigella bacteria. Levofloxacin also can be used to treat various obstetric infections, including mastitis.
