Levofloxacin IV is an antibiotic. It works by stopping bacteria from copying and repairing their DNA.

How it works

1. Levofloxacin enters the bacterial cell.
2. It blocks two bacterial enzymes called DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV.
3. These enzymes are needed for bacteria to unwind, copy, and repair their DNA.
4. Without functioning DNA, the bacteria cannot multiply and eventually die.
