Pharmacological action

Remedia is an antimicrobial drug from the group of fluoroquinolones, the levorotatory ofloxacin isomer. It has a wide range of antimicrobial effects. Levofloxacin blocks DNA gyrase (topoisomerase II) and topoisomerase IV, disrupts supercoiling and cross-linking of DNA breaks, inhibits DNA synthesis, and causes deep morphological changes in the cytoplasm, cell wall and bacterial membranes. Levofloxacin is active against most strains of microorganisms both in vitro and in vivo.

Pharmacokinetics

Distribution of

Protein Binding - 30-40%. Cumulation in the appointment of a dose of 500 mg 1 time / day is negligible. When prescribed at a dose of 500 mg 2 times / day, cumulation to a small extent may be observed. Css are reached 3 days after the start of use.

It penetrates well into organs and tissues: lungs, mucous membrane of the bronchi, sputum, organs of the urinary system, genitals, bone tissue, prostate gland, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, alveolar macrophages. Levofloxacin penetrates poorly into the cerebrospinal fluid.

Average concentrations in urine 8-12 hours after a single injection of 150, 300 or 500 mg of levofloxacin were 44, 91 and 200 g / l, respectively.

Metabolism

In the liver, a small part of levofloxacin is metabolized to form desmethyl levofloxacin and levofloxacin-N-oxide, which make up <5% of levofloxacin excreted by the kidneys.

Excretion of

After administration in a single dose of 500 mg, T1 / 2 is 6-8 hours. It is excreted mainly by the kidneys by glomerular filtration and tubular secretion. Less than 5% of levofloxacin is excreted as metabolites. In unchanged form, 70% is excreted and in 48 hours - 87%.

Dosage and administration of

Remedia tablets are prescribed for adults 1-2 times a day.

Other: asthenia, exacerbation of porphyria, photosensitivity, persistent fever, leukocytoclastic vasculitis, development of superinfection.

Local reactions: pain, redness at the injection site, phlebitis.

Drug interaction

Levofloxation increases T1 / 2 cyclosporine.

NSAIDs, theophylline increase the risk of cramps.

The use of ACS increases the risk of tendon rupture (especially in old age).

Cimetidine and drugs, blocking tubular secretion, slow the excretion of levofloxacin.

Infusion solution is compatible with 0.9% sodium chloride solution, 5% dextrose solution, 2.5% Ringer's solution with dextrose, combined solutions for parenteral nutrition (amino acids, carbohydrates, electrolytes).

Cannot be mixed with heparin and solutions having an alkaline reaction (for example, sodium bicarbonate solution).

In patients with diabetes receiving oral hypoglycemic agents or insulin, hypo- and hyperglycemic conditions are possible against the background of administration of levofloxacin, so blood glucose monitoring is recommended.

Levofloxacin enhances the anticoagulant activity of warfarin

Alcohol can increase the side effects of the CNS (dizziness, drowsiness, drowsiness).

Overdose

In addition, gastrointestinal disorders (such as nausea) and erosive lesions of the gastrointestinal mucosa may be noted, QT lengthening.

Treatment: symptomatic. Dialysis is ineffective. The specific antidote is unknown.
