What is levo oxygen and what is levo oxygen?

Chinese name: levofloxacin.

One of the quinolone drugs, with broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, strong antibacterial effect, against most Enterobacteriaceae bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Salmonella, Shigella and Haemophilus influenzae, Legionella pneumophila.

It also has antibacterial effect on gram-positive bacteria such as Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae, but has poor effect on anaerobic bacteria and enterococci.

Levofloxacin. Not out what the left oxygen is.

What exactly is levofloxacin, and what issues should be paid attention to when using it safely?

A 13-year-old girl misused a banned drug.

Wang Rulong, chief pharmacist of the Department of Pharmacology of Beijing Friendship Hospital, told reporters that levofloxacin is a quinquenone drug, which prevents the synthesis and replication of bacterial DNA by inhibiting the activity of bacterial DNA gyrase, resulting in bacterial death, and has a strong antibacterial effect. However, the safety of this drug in infants and adolescents under 18 years of age has not been established, and when used in a variety of young animals, it can cause joint lesions and affect bone development, so it is not suitable for children and adolescents under 18 years of age who are developing body bones.

Fewer times have little impact.

Regarding Xiaoting's condition, Wang Rulong said that the impact and harm of levofloxacin on the body depends on the number of uses. Wang Rulong said that the metabolism of this drug begins five or six hours after taking the drug, and it can be metabolized in a day and a half, and the amount of urine excreted within 48 hours is about 80%-90% of the amount administered.

Therefore, even minors under the age of 18 should not have much impact on physical development after misuse of levofloxacin, as long as it is not used multiple times, only once or twice.

Drink plenty of fluids while taking the medicine.

Wang Rulong believes that in order to use levofloxacin correctly, in addition to paying attention to the above contraindications, it is also necessary to pay attention to some adverse reactions in the drug, such as gastrointestinal reactions, central nervous system reactions, allergic reactions, etc. In addition, there may be occasional seizures, mental abnormalities, irritability, confusion, hallucinations, tremors; interstitial nephritis manifestations such as hematuria, fever, and rash; Phlebitis; crystalluria; joint pain, etc.

In addition, because elderly patients often have renal insufficiency, and levofloxacin is partially excreted through the kidneys, the dose should be reduced according to the doctor's instructions.

To avoid the occurrence of crystalluria, the following should be noted:

First, drink plenty of water in the medication and keep the urine output above 1200 ml for 24 hours; Second, patients with reduced renal function need to adjust the dose according to renal function; Third, avoid excessive exposure to sunlight and discontinue the drug immediately if photosensitivity reactions or other allergic symptoms occur; Fourth, patients with pre-existing central nervous system disorders, such as those with epilepsy, should avoid levofloxacin. When indicated, carefully weigh the pros and cons before deciding whether to use it.

Ofloxacin and norfloxacin are a series, with the same parent ring, and ofloxacin is a third-generation quinolone antibacterial drug developed after norfloxacin with higher efficacy, shorter course of treatment and better tolerability.

This product is suitable for the following moderate and severe infections caused by sensitive bacteria: 1Respiratory Infections:

Acute bronchitis, acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, diffuse bronchitis, bronchiectasis with infection, pneumonia, tonsillitis (peritonsillar abscess). 2.Urinary tract infections:

Pyelonephritis, complicated urinary tract infection, etc. 3.Infections of the reproductive system:

Acute prostatitis, acute paraorchitis, uterine infection, uterine adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease (metronidazole can be used in combination when anaerobic infection is suspected). 4.**Soft Tissue Infection:

Infectious impetigo, cellulitis, lymphangitis (nodalitis), subcutaneous abscess, anal abscess, etc. 5.Intestinal infections:

Bacillary dysentery, infectious enteritis, Salmonella enteritis, typhoid and paratyphoid. 6.Various infections in sepsis, neutropenia, and immunocompromised patients.

7.Other infections: mastitis, trauma, burns and postoperative wound infections, abdominal infections (combined with metronidazole if necessary), cholecystitis, cholangitis, bone and joint infections, and ENT infections.

Quinolone antibiotics. That is, the drugs all have the word floxacin at the end.

Levofloxacin is actually levofloxacin, which is 4 times more effective than ofloxacin.

In addition, after using such drugs, they should not be exposed to the sun, which can easily cause solar dermatitis.

【Indications】Suitable for sensitive bacteria caused by:

1 Genitourinary infections, including simple, complicated urinary tract infections, bacterial prostatitis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, urethritis or cervicitis (including those caused by enzyme-producing strains).

2 Respiratory tract infections, including acute attacks of bronchial infections and pulmonary infections caused by susceptible gram-negative bacilli.

3 Gastrointestinal infections, caused by Shigella, Salmonella, enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli, Aeromonas hydrophila, Vibrio parahaemolyticus, etc.

4 Typhoid fever. 5 Bone and joint infections.

6 **Soft tissue infections.

7 Systemic infections such as sepsis.

Hello, it's a pleasure to help you with your questions.

"Respiratory left oxygen" should mean respiratory quinolone. Let me talk about the relevant concepts:

The so-called respiratory quinolones refer to fluoroquinolone antibacterial drugs that have good bactericidal activity against most respiratory pathogens and whose pharmacokinetic characteristics show that they are easy to enter lung tissues and bronchial secretions. Guidelines for community-acquired pneumonia (CAP) issued by the American Society of Infectious Diseases (IDSA) and the American Thoracic Society (ATS) in 2007 defined respiratory quinolones as moxifloxacin, gemifloxacin, and levofloxacin at a daily dose of 750 mg.

Hope it helps.

Hello levofloxacin is referred to as levooxygen, which has a broad-spectrum antibacterial effect, strong antibacterial effect, and has strong antibacterial activity against most Enterobacteriaceae bacteria, such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella, Proteus, Salmonella, Shigella and Haemophilus influenzae, Legionella pneumophila, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and other gram-negative bacteria. It also has antibacterial effect on Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Streptococcus pyogenes and other gram-positive bacteria, Mycoplasma pneumoniae and Chlamydia pneumoniae, but has a better effect on anaerobic bacteria and enterococci.

Levoxamine is short for levofloxacin. Good effect on respiratory infections**.

Levofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibacterial drug, mainly used for respiratory infections in the following areas, and chronic bronchitis, bronchiectasis, pneumonia, tonsillitis.

Second, there is a urinary tract infection. For example, pyelonephritis, complicated urinary tract infection.

Thirdly, infections of the reproductive system, uterine adnexitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, acute prostatitis, ** infection of soft tissues, infectious pustular pustular disease, cellulitis, lymphangitis.

Fourth, intestinal infections, enteritis, typhoid fever, paratyphoid fever.

Fifth, sepsis, cytopenia and immunocompromised patients, caused by various infections, abdominal infection, cholecystitis, cholangitis, trauma, etc.
