A few Common Side Effects of Lquin 250 Tablet:

Digestive: Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhoea.
Neurological: Headache, dizziness and drowsiness.

If side effects do not improve or become serious, stop taking the medicine and speak to your doctor right away.

Management Of Side Effects:

Most side effects are temporary and generally harmless, which resolve upon discontinuing the medicine. However, if you experience any serious side effects or worsening of any of the symptoms, please consult your doctor.

You can also effectively manage common side effects like nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, and diarrhoea at home by taking the medicine with food or after your meals.

Lquin 250 Tablet 10 contains levofloxacin (250 mg) as the active ingredient. It works in the human body in the following manner:

Levofloxacin works by blocking the two crucial bacterial enzymes — DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. These two enzymes are important for bacterial DNA synthesis.
By hindering the activity of these enzymes, levofloxacin prevents the bacteria from growing and multiplying rapidly, which curbs the spread of the infection.
Apart from stopping bacterial growth, levofloxacin also directly kills the bacteria, making it a bactericidal antibiotic.

Pregnancy

Lquin 250 Tablet 10 should be used only if necessary during pregnancy. Consult your doctor before taking this medicine.

Breastfeeding

If you are breastfeeding, caution is advised when taking this medicine as levofloxacin may pass into breast milk and affect the nursing infant. Always consult your doctor to determine the associated risks and benefits.

Alcohol

Avoid alcohol consumption while on this medication as it may increase the risk of side effects such as dizziness and drowsiness. Always consult your doctor regarding alcohol intake.

Liver

If you have liver health issues, caution is advised when taking this medicine. Your doctor will guide you based on your health status.

Kidney

Caution is advised while taking this medicine if you have a history of kidney problems. Always consult your doctor before starting this medication.

Allergy

If you are allergic to levofloxacin, other fluoroquinolones, or any inactive ingredients in the tablet, avoid using this medicine. Always discuss your allergies with your doctor.

Children

This medicine should be given to children only under the supervision of your doctor. Always consult your doctor before giving any medicine to a child.
