Composition

Levofloxacin (500 Mg)

Fynal-500 Tablet is primarily used to manage a range of bacterial infections. It is a part of a group of medicines known as third-generation fluoroquinolones.

In addition to the primary use, this medicine can also help manage conditions such as pneumonia, acute bronchitis, sinus infections, urinary tract infections like cystitis, skin and soft tissue infections, prostate gland infection, anthrax exposure and plague. However, for uncomplicated bronchitis, sinus infections or urinary tract infections, other treatment options should be considered first to reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance.

You should take this medicine orally as directed by your doctor. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions or ongoing medications before starting the medicine. If you notice any side effects while on this medicine, notify your doctor immediately. Continue taking the medicine for the duration prescribed by your doctor for optimal results.

Managing community-acquired pneumonia
Handling hospital-acquired pneumonia
Controlling acute bronchitis and sinus infections
Taking care of urinary tract infections, including cystitis

Tackling prostate gland infection, also known as prostatitis

Fynal-500 Tablet contains levofloxacin (500 mg) which acts on the body in the following ways:
