How does the Drug work
◉Levofloxacin 500 mg is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It works by inhibiting the activity of DNA gyrase, an enzyme that is essential for bacterial DNA replication and repair. By inhibiting this enzyme, levofloxacin prevents the bacteria from reproducing and repairing itself, leading to cell death. It also interferes with the synthesis of bacterial proteins, which further contributes to the bacterial cell death. This leads to the elimination of the bacterial infection.
