Product Details

Qumic Tablets 250mg contain Levofloxacin, a synthetic broad-spectrum antibiotic designed to combat bacterial infections. As a fluorinated carboxyquinolone, Levofloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA-gyrase, effectively killing a range of gram-positive, gram-negative, and anaerobic bacteria. This makes Tablets an essential treatment for various bacterial infections.

Purposes

Qumic Tablets 250mg are primarily used to treat conditions such as acute and chronic sinusitis, community-acquired pneumonia, skin and soft tissue infections, acute pyelonephritis, bronchitis, and urinary tract infections (UTIs). Additionally, they are effective against nosocomial pneumonia, typhoid, and paratyphoid fever, making it a versatile choice for combating bacterial infections.

Warnings

1. Sun Exposure: Patients taking Tablets should avoid excessive sun exposure, as the medication may increase sensitivity to sunlight. If any skin reactions occur, discontinue use immediately and consult your healthcare provider.

2. Hydration: Ensure adequate hydration while taking this medicine to avoid the formation of concentrated urine, which can cause complications.

3. Renal Insufficiency: Tablets should be administered with caution to patients suffering from renal insufficiency, as it may exacerbate their condition.

Adverse Effects

The use of Tablets 250mg may result in side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, loss of appetite, abdominal pain, dizziness, headaches, and sleeping problems. Some patients may experience skin rashes, tendon pain, or even tendon rupture, particularly in the Achilles tendon. In rare cases, it may cause anxiety, restlessness, or allergic reactions. Always seek medical advice if symptoms worsen.

Cautions

Patients with a known allergy to quinolones or Levofloxacin should avoid using Tablets. Additionally, it’s important to monitor for signs of hypersensitivity or anaphylactic reactions during therapy. Concomitant use with antacids, NSAIDs, or metal cation supplements may interfere with the effectiveness of this medicine, so these should be avoided or taken under medical advice.
