Eye drops containing levofloxacin are used to treat bacterial conjunctivitis caused by sensitive strains of the following bacteria:
Other ocular infections that can be treated with levofloxacin include bacterial corneal ulcers, blepharitis, hordeolum, and perioperative conditions.
A sterile topical ophthalmic solution, levofloxacin eye drops are used to treat infections in the eyes. It's a synthetic third-generation fluoroquinolone bactericidal antibiotic with a broad spectrum of activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative ocular infections. It works by preventing DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination by inhibiting bacterial topoisomerase IV and DNA gyrase enzymes.
Adults and children aged one year and up should use a 0.5 percent eye drop.
Days 1 and 2: Every 2 hours while awake, instill 1-2 drops in the afflicted eye(s), up to 8 times each day.
Days 3–7: Put 1-2 drops in the afflicted eye(s) every 4 hours while awake, up to 4 times a day.
Adults and children aged 6 and above should use a 1.5 percent eye drop.

Children under the age of one year: Levofloxacin's safety and effectiveness in children under the age of one year have not been established.
Levofloxacin eye drops have not been subjected to specific medication interaction investigations. However, systemic use of several quinolones has been demonstrated to increase plasma theophylline concentrations, interfere with caffeine metabolism, and improve the effects of the anticoagulant warfarin and its derivatives.
Patients having a history of hypersensitivity to Levofloxacin, other quinolones, or any of the medication's components should not take it.
Transient impaired vision, fever, foreign body sensation, headache, transient ocular burning, ocular pain or discomfort, pharyngitis, and photophobia were experienced by about 1-3 percent of patients. Allergic responses, lid edema, ocular dryness, and ocular irritation occurred in less than 1% of patients.
Pregnancy Classification C. Only if the possible benefit outweighs the danger to the fetus should levofloxacin be used during pregnancy. Human milk has not been tested for levofloxacin. When administering Levofloxacin eye drops to a nursing woman, extreme caution is advised.
Long-term use may cause non-susceptible organisms, such as fungus, to overgrow. If superinfection arises, stop using it and seek alternate treatment.
Preparations containing four quinolones
