Targofloxin 750 Mg 10 Tablets

Targofloxin 750 Mg 10 Tablets

Description:

Targofloxin 750 mg 10 tablets is a prescription systemic antibiotic medicine containing levofloxacin, a third-generation fluoroquinolone. It is used for the treatment of a wide range of moderate to severe bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin and soft tissues, and certain gastrointestinal infections. Levofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, effectively stopping bacterial growth and helping the body clear the infection. This product is intended for adult use under medical supervision.

Indications:

• Acute bacterial sinusitis (sinus infections) caused by susceptible organisms.
• Acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis and other lower respiratory tract infections.
• Community-acquired pneumonia.
• Uncomplicated and complicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), including pyelonephritis, caused by susceptible bacteria.
• Traveler's diarrhoea due to susceptible bacterial strains (as directed by a physician).
• Skin and soft tissue infections, including cellulitis and wound infections.
• Urethritis and certain other genitourinary infections caused by susceptible organisms.
• Other infections caused by levofloxacin-sensitive bacteria as determined by your doctor.

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Levofloxacin – 750 mg per film-coated tablet.
• Excipients: tablet core and film-coating excipients (exact inactive ingredient list and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website; please refer to the package insert for full details).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Use Targofloxin 750 mg only as prescribed by a physician; do not self-medicate with antibiotics.
• Typical adult dose: 750 mg (one tablet) once daily, with duration of treatment depending on the type and severity of infection (often 5–14 days). The exact dose and duration must be determined by your doctor.
• Swallow the tablet whole with a sufficient amount of water. Do not crush or chew.
• Can be taken with or without food. If stomach upset occurs, taking it with food may help.
• Take the dose at the same time each day to maintain consistent blood levels.
• Do not take Targofloxin at the same time as antacids containing aluminum or magnesium, sucralfate, iron or zinc supplements; take levofloxacin at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after such products to avoid reduced absorption.
• Complete the full course of therapy even if symptoms improve early; stopping too soon may lead to recurrence or 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.

Clinical Benefits:

• Broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against many gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria responsible for respiratory, urinary, skin, and gastrointestinal infections.
• High oral bioavailability, allowing effective systemic treatment with once-daily oral dosing.
• Helps rapidly reduce infection-related symptoms such as fever, pain, cough, burning urination, and localized inflammation when used appropriately.
• Convenient 750 mg strength may shorten treatment duration for certain indications, as directed by a physician.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Use only under medical supervision. Do not use for viral infections such as common cold or influenza.
• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to levofloxacin, other fluoroquinolones, or any component of the formulation.

• Use with caution in patients with a history of seizure disorders, epilepsy, or other CNS conditions; concomitant use with certain medicines (e.g., NSAIDs, theophylline) may increase seizure risk.

• Adjust dose in patients with renal impairment; inform your doctor if you have kidney disease.
• May cause photosensitivity; avoid excessive sunlight or UV exposure and use protective clothing and sunscreen.
