It is primarily indicated for the treatment of respiratory tract infections, including community-acquired pneumonia, acute bacterial sinusitis, and chronic bronchitis exacerbations. Additionally, Levoquin is utilized in managing urinary tract infections, including complicated and uncomplicated cases, as well as pyelonephritis.

It is important to complete the full prescribed course to prevent the development of resistance. Caution is advised in patients with a history of tendon disorders related to fluoroquinolones, and it should be used judiciously in individuals with renal impairment, adjusting dosage accordingly. Common adverse effects may include gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, and dizziness. Patients should be advised to avoid excessive exposure to sunlight due to potential photosensitivity reactions.
