Levofloxacin

A broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic that blocks the enzymes bacteria use to copy their DNA: launched in Japan in 1993, it is used for respiratory, urinary and skin infections. This family brings together the active ingredient, pharmacopoeial impurities, metabolites, labelled standards, nitrosamines and other impurities.

Did you know?It is the levorotatory isomer of ofloxacin, hence the prefix levo-: its mirror-image form is almost inactive, so it is about twice as potent as ofloxacin.
