GLEVO POD TABLET 10'S

How GLEVO POD TABLET 10'S Works

• GLEVO POD TABLET 10'S is a combination medication containing levofloxacin and ofloxacin. These are both fluoroquinolone antibiotics that work by interfering with the bacterial enzymes DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. These enzymes are crucial for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination. By inhibiting these enzymes, levofloxacin and ofloxacin prevent the bacteria from multiplying and repairing themselves, effectively leading to bacterial cell death.
• Levofloxacin primarily targets DNA gyrase in Gram-negative bacteria, while ofloxacin inhibits both DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, making it effective against a broader spectrum of bacteria, including Gram-positive organisms. This dual mechanism of action enhances the overall effectiveness of GLEVO POD TABLET 10'S against a wide range of bacterial infections.
• Specifically, these antibiotics bind to the A subunit of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. This binding stabilizes the enzyme-DNA complex, preventing the enzyme from resealing the DNA strands after they have been cut and unwound for replication. The accumulation of these DNA breaks leads to chromosomal instability and ultimately, cell death. The bacterial cell cannot properly divide or function without intact DNA, resulting in the eradication of the infection.
• The combined action of levofloxacin and ofloxacin in GLEVO POD TABLET 10'S makes it a potent treatment option for various bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and other susceptible bacterial infections. The synergistic effect of these two antibiotics ensures that even bacteria resistant to one agent may be susceptible to the combination, improving treatment outcomes and reducing the risk of resistance development. The medication is typically administered orally, and the absorption and distribution of the active ingredients allow it to reach the site of infection effectively, providing targeted antibacterial action.

Common side effects of Glevo Pod Tablet may include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, and skin rash. Uncommon side effects can include anxiety, confusion, insomnia, taste disturbances, tendonitis, joint pain, muscle pain, peripheral neuropathy, and allergic reactions (such as hives, itching, and swelling). Rare but serious side effects may include severe allergic reactions (anaphylaxis), liver problems, kidney problems, and blood disorders. Consult your doctor immediately if you experience any severe or persistent side effects.

• If you miss a dose of Glevo POD Tablet, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with your regular dosing schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.

• Keep GLEVO POD TAB 1X10 away from the reach of children and pets.
• Store GLEVO POD TAB 1X10 at room temperature.

• Take Glevo Pod Tablet exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Do not skip doses or stop taking the medication early, even if you feel better. Completing the full course of treatment is essential to eradicate the infection and prevent antibiotic resistance.
• Glevo Pod Tablet can be taken with or without food. However, taking it with food may help reduce the possibility of stomach upset. Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water, and avoid crushing or chewing it.
• Inform your doctor about all other medications, supplements, or herbal products you are taking before starting Glevo Pod Tablet. Some medications can interact with levofloxacin, potentially reducing its effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects. Pay special attention to antacids containing magnesium or aluminum, and iron or zinc supplements, as these can interfere with the absorption of levofloxacin. Take these medications at least two hours before or after taking Glevo Pod Tablet.
• While taking Glevo Pod Tablet, stay well-hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids throughout the day. This helps your body flush out the medication and may also prevent certain side effects, such as kidney problems. Avoid excessive caffeine intake, as levofloxacin can increase the stimulating effects of caffeine.
• Be aware of potential side effects of Glevo Pod Tablet, such as nausea, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, and tendon pain. If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact your doctor immediately. In rare cases, levofloxacin can cause serious side effects, including tendon rupture, nerve damage, and heart rhythm problems. Seek immediate medical attention if you develop sudden pain, swelling, or stiffness in your joints, numbness or tingling in your extremities, or an irregular heartbeat.
• Protect your skin from excessive sun exposure while taking Glevo Pod Tablet, as it can increase your sensitivity to sunlight. Wear protective clothing, sunglasses, and sunscreen with a high SPF when outdoors. Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight, especially during peak hours.

• GLEVO POD TABLET 10'S can be taken with or without food. However, it is better to take it at a fixed time. If you experience stomach upset, you can take it with food. Avoid taking it with dairy products, as they can decrease the absorption of the medicine.
