Overview
Cravit 250mg Tablet contains levofloxacin 250mg, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat a range of bacterial infections, including certain respiratory tract infections (such as pneumonia and sinusitis), urinary tract infections, and some skin and soft tissue infections. It is only effective against bacterial infections, not viral ones such as the common cold or flu.
Levofloxacin works by blocking two bacterial enzymes needed for DNA replication and repair, which stops the bacteria from multiplying and eventually kills them.
How it Works
Levofloxacin inhibits bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, two enzymes bacteria need to unwind, replicate, and repair their DNA. Without these enzymes functioning normally, bacterial DNA becomes damaged and the bacteria can no longer grow or divide, making levofloxacin bactericidal (directly killing the bacteria) against a broad range of organisms.
Directions for Use
Take Cravit 250mg Tablet with a full glass of water, with or without food, at about the same time each day. Avoid taking it at the same time as antacids, or supplements containing calcium, iron, zinc, or magnesium, as these can reduce absorption – space these products at least 2 hours apart from your dose. Drink plenty of fluids while taking this medicine unless your doctor advises otherwise.
Dosage
The dose and duration of Cravit 250mg Tablet depend on the type and severity of the infection being treated, typically ranging from 250mg to 750mg once daily for 7-14 days. Your doctor will determine the correct dose, frequency, and length of treatment for your specific infection, and it is important to complete the full course even if you feel better before it ends.
