About Levelfox-OZ Oral Suspension

Levelfox-OZ Oral Suspension belongs to the class of 'antibiotics', primarily used to treat diarrhoea and dysentery. It helps treat various bacterial and parasitic infections, such as pneumonia, bronchitis, intestinal, vaginal, urinary tract infections and genital infections. Diarrhoea is a condition that causes the frequent passing of loose or watery stools. Dysentery is an intestinal inflammation that leads to severe diarrhoea accompanied by mucus or blood in the stools. Bacterial infections are caused due to the multiplication of harmful bacteria inside or on the body.

Levelfox-OZ Oral Suspension contains two antibiotic medicines, namely: Levofloxacin and Ornidazole. Levofloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics. It works by inhibiting an enzyme called gyrase, which is responsible for the growth and development of bacterial DNA. Ornidazole is an anti-amoebic/ amebicide (kills amoeba that causes amoebic dysentery) and antiprotozoal (fights against protozoal infections) medicine. It also exerts antibacterial action and kills harmful bacteria and parasites (amoeba) by damaging their DNA by interfering with the protein formation process. 

Please take Levelfox-OZ Oral Suspension in the dose and duration prescribed by your doctor based on your medical condition. Levelfox-OZ Oral Suspension is generally safe to use. However, some may experience side effects like nausea, loss of appetite, constipation, diarrhoea, trouble sleeping, dizziness and headache. Most of these side effects of Levelfox-OZ Oral Suspension do not require medical attention and gradually resolve over time. If these side effects persist longer, please consult your doctor.

If you are allergic to Levelfox-OZ Oral Suspension or any other medicines, please tell your doctor. Do not suddenly stop this medicine to avoid unpleasant side effects and sudden withdrawal symptoms. Intake of probiotics, prebiotics and plenty of fluids is recommended if you suffer from dysentery and diarrhoea. Do not drive or operate heavy machinery after taking Levelfox-OZ Oral Suspension as it may cause dizziness. Avoid alcoholic beverages during your treatment, as it can worsen the disease and side effects. Pregnant and breastfeeding women should use Levelfox-OZ Oral Suspension with proper consultation and caution.

It kills harmful protozoa and certain anaerobic bacteria by damaging their DNA and interfering with the protein formation process. It treats amoebiasis (amoebic dysentery), giardiasis (infection of the small intestine) and trichomoniasis (a sexually transmitted infection caused by a parasite). Collectively, Levelfox-OZ Oral Suspension treats various bacterial and parasitic infections, such as diarrhoea, dysentery, pneumonia, bronchitis, intestinal, vaginal, urinary tract infections and genital infections.
