Royafloxacin 500 Mg 10 Tablets

Description:

Royafloxacin 500 mg 10 tablets is a prescription antibacterial medicine containing levofloxacin, a third-generation fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections affecting the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin and soft tissues, and other body systems. Royafloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication, helping to quickly control infection, relieve symptoms such as fever and pain, and prevent complications when used as directed by a healthcare professional.

Indications:

• Acute bacterial sinusitis (sinus infections) caused by susceptible organisms.
• Acute exacerbations of chronic bronchitis and other lower respiratory tract infections.
• Community-acquired pneumonia.
• Uncomplicated and complicated urinary tract infections (UTI), including pyelonephritis, caused by susceptible bacteria.
• Traveler's diarrhoea due to susceptible bacterial pathogens.
• Skin and soft tissue infections, including cellulitis, abscesses, and wound infections caused by sensitive organisms.
• Urethritis and certain other genitourinary tract infections caused by susceptible bacteria.
• Use only for infections proven or strongly suspected to be caused by bacteria sensitive to levofloxacin, as directed by a physician.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Levofloxacin – 500 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Excipients: film-coating agents, fillers, binders, and stabilizers (exact excipient list and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website; please refer to the package insert).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Royafloxacin 500 mg is for oral use only and should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Typical adult dose: 500 mg once daily, or as directed by the physician, depending on the type and severity of infection and kidney function.
• Duration of treatment usually ranges from 3 to 14 days, depending on the infection (e.g., shorter for uncomplicated UTI or traveller's diarrhoea, longer for pneumonia or complicated infections). Follow your doctor’s instructions precisely.
• Tablets may be taken with or without food. Swallow whole with a sufficient amount of water; do not crush or chew.
• Avoid taking Royafloxacin at the same time as antacids, iron, zinc, or multivitamins containing minerals (calcium, magnesium, aluminium, iron, zinc), as these can reduce absorption. If needed, take them at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after Royafloxacin.
• Do not skip doses and do not stop treatment early, even if you feel better, unless your doctor tells you to. Incomplete courses may lead to treatment failure and antibiotic resistance.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.
• Use in children and adolescents is generally not recommended unless specifically prescribed by a specialist.

Clinical Benefits:

• Broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, helping to effectively control mixed and complicated infections.
• Once-daily dosing in many indications improves convenience and supports better treatment adherence.
• Rapid symptom relief in respiratory, urinary, and skin infections, including reduction of fever, pain, and inflammation when used appropriately.
• Helps prevent infection-related complications and disease progression when started early and taken for the full prescribed course.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to levofloxacin, other fluoroquinolones, or any component of the formulation.
• Fluoroquinolones, including levofloxacin, have been associated with tendonitis and tendon rupture (especially Achilles tendon), sometimes occurring even after treatment has been stopped. Risk is higher in elderly patients, those on corticosteroids, or with kidney, heart, or lung transplants. Stop the medicine and contact your doctor immediately if tendon pain, swelling, or inflammation occurs.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of seizures, epilepsy, or other central nervous system disorders, as fluoroquinolones may increase the risk of convulsions.
• May cause QT interval prolongation; use with caution in patients with known QT prolongation, uncorrected electrolyte disturbances (e.g., low potassium or magnesium), heart disease, or those taking other QT-prolonging drugs.
• May cause peripheral neuropathy (nerve damage) which can be permanent. If you experience pain, burning, tingling, numbness, or weakness, stop the medicine and inform your doctor.
• May increase sensitivity to sunlight (photosensitivity). Avoid excessive sun exposure and tanning beds; use protective clothing and sunscreen.
• Use with caution in patients with renal impairment; dose adjustment may be required. Inform your doctor if you have kidney disease or are on dialysis.
• Use with caution in patients with liver disease, myasthenia gravis, diabetes (risk of blood glucose disturbances), or known G6PD deficiency.
• Pregnancy and breastfeeding: Levofloxacin is generally not recommended during pregnancy or lactation unless clearly needed and prescribed by a doctor. Always consult your healthcare provider before use.
• May cause dizziness, confusion, or visual disturbances. If affected, do not drive or operate machinery.
• Alcohol may increase some side effects such as dizziness; use with caution.
• Consult your doctor before use if pregnant, nursing, taking medications, or have medical conditions such as kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, epilepsy, diabetes, or myasthenia gravis.
