Medically reviewed by Dr. Balaji Krishnan, MBBS · Updated August 2026
Levoflox 250 contains Levofloxacin 250 mg (tablet). It belongs to the Fluoroquinolone antibiotic class of medicines.
Levofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. This prevents DNA replication and repair, leading to bacterial cell death.
Take exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
Most side effects of Levoflox are mild and settle as the body adjusts. Reported side effects include:
Stop the medicine and seek help immediately for a rash, swelling of the face or lips, wheezing or difficulty breathing. Tell your doctor about any side effect that persists or worries you.
