Pharmacokinetics:

Absorption. Levofloxacin is rapidly and almost completely absorbed after ingestion, food intake has little effect on its absorption. The absolute oral bioavailability is 99-100%. After a single dose of 500 mg of levofloxacin Cmax in plasma is reached in 1-2 h and is (5, 2±1, 2) µg/ml the Pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin are linear in the dose range of 50 to 1000 mg. Css of levofloxacin in plasma at the dose of 500 mg of levofloxacin 1 or 2 times per day is achieved within 48 hours.

On the 10th day of ingestion of the drug Tavanic 500 mg 1 once a day, Cmax of levofloxacin in the plasma were (5, 7±1, 4) µg/ml, and Cmin of levofloxacin (concentration before taking another dose) in plasma were (0, 5±0, 2) µg/ml.

On the 10th day of ingestion of the drug Tavanic 500 mg 2 times a day, Cmax of levofloxacin in the plasma were (7, 8±1, 1) µg/ml, and Cmin of levofloxacin (concentration before taking another dose) in plasma was (3, 0±0, 9) µg/ml.

Distribution. The plasma protein binding is 30-40%. After a single dose of 500 mg of levofloxacin Stomatitis levofloxacin is approximately 100 l, indicating good penetration of levofloxacin in tissues and organs of the human body.

Penetration into bronchial mucosa, epithelial lining fluid, alveolar macrophages. After a single oral administration of 500 mg of levofloxacin Cmax of levofloxacin in bronchial mucosa and epithelial lining fluid are reached within 1-4 h and were 8, 3 µg/g and 10 8 µg/ml, respectively, with coefficients of penetration into the mucosa of the bronchi and epithelial lining fluid compared with plasma concentration, components of 1, 1-1, 8, and 0, 8-3, respectively.

After 5 days of ingestion of 500 mg of levofloxacin the average concentrations of levofloxacin after 4 h after the last administration of the drug in liquid epithelial lining was 9, 94 µg/ml in alveolar macrophages — 97, 9 µg/ml.

Penetration into lung tissue. Cmax in lung tissue after ingestion of 500 mg of levofloxacin was approximately 11, 3 µg/g and was reached after 4-6 h after administration of the drug with the penetration factors of 2-5 compared with the concentration in plasma.

Infiltration in the alveolar fluid.After 3 days of taking 500 mg of levofloxacin 1 time or 2 times a day, Cmax of levofloxacin in the alveolar fluid was 4 and 6, 7 µg/ml, respectively, and were reached 2-4 h after ingestion, rate of penetration 1, compared to concentrations in plasma.

Penetration into bone tissue. Levofloxacin penetrates well into cortical and cancellous bone in the proximal and in the distal femur with a coefficient of penetration (bone tissue/plasma) 0, 1-3. Cmax of levofloxacin in the cancellous bone of the proximal femur after taking 500 mg of the drug inside was about 15 and 1 µg/g (2 hours after taking the drug).

Penetration into the cerebrospinal fluid. Levofloxacin poorly penetrates into the cerebrospinal fluid.

Penetration into the prostate tissue. After ingestion of 500 mg of levofloxacin 1 time per day for 3 days, the average concentration of levofloxacin in the prostate tissue was 8, 7 µg/g, the average ratio of the concentrations of the prostate/plasma was 1, 84.

Concentration in urine. The average concentrations in the urine after 8-12 hours after ingestion of doses of 150, 300 and 600 mg of levofloxacin were 44 , 91 and 162 µg/ml, respectively.

Metabolism. Levofloxacin is metabolized to a small extent (5% of dose). Its metabolites are desmethyl-levofloxacin and N-oxide levofloxacin, which are excreted by the kidneys. Levofloxacin is stereochemically stable and does not undergo chiral transformations.

Excretion. After oral levofloxacin is relatively slowly eliminated from plasma (T1/2 — 6-8 hours). Excretion is mainly through kidney (more than 85% of the dose). Total clearance of levofloxacin after a single dose of 500 mg was (175±29, 2) ml/min.

No significant differences in the pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin when it is on/in the introduction and ingestion, which confirms that the ingestion and/in the introduction are interchangeable.

Pharmacokinetics in specific groups of patients. The pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin in men and women did not differ.

In renal insufficiency the pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin is affected. With decreasing renal function the excretion through the kidneys and renal clearance is reduced and elimination half-life increases.

Pharmacokinetics in elderly patients does not differ from that in younger patients, with the exception of differences in the pharmacokinetics associated with differences in creatinine clearance.

After the on/in a 60-minute infusion of levofloxacin at a dose of 500 mg to healthy volunteers, an average Cmax in plasma was 6, 2 µg/ml the Pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin is linear and predictable at single and multiple administration of a drug. Plasma concentration profile of levofloxacin after I/V administration similar to that in the pill, so oral and intravenous routes of administration can be considered interchangeable.

The average Vd of levofloxacin ranges from 89 to 112 l after single and multiple in/in the dose of 500 mg.

Pharmacokinetic characteristics after single I/V administration of levofloxacin at a dose of 500 mg are: Cmax— (6, 2±1, 0) µg/ml, Tmax— (1, 0±0, 1) h, T1/2 — (6, 4±0, 7) h, respectively.

The plasma protein binding is 30-40%. Well into the organs and tissues — lungs, bronchial mucous membrane, sputum, genitourinary system, bone tissue, cerebrospinal fluid, prostate gland, polymorphonuclear leukocytes, alveolar macrophages.

After I/V administration is predominantly excreted in the urine unchanged. Average end T1/2 of levofloxacin is 6 to 8 hours after single and multiple in/in the introduction.

In renal failure reduce clearance of the drug and its elimination through the kidneys depends on the degree of reduction in creatinine clearance.

Description pharmacological action:

Drug interactions:

Interactions that require caution

With iron salts, antacids containing magnesium and/or aluminum. It is recommended that preparations containing divalent or trivalent cations such as iron salts (treatment for anemia), antacids containing magnesium and/or aluminum, to take at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking the pill Tavanic. With calcium carbonate interactions have been identified.

With sucralfate. The effect of the drug Tavanic significantly attenuated with concomitant use of sucralfate (means for protection of the gastric mucosa).

Patients receiving sucralfate and levofloxacin, it is recommended to take sucralfate 2 hours after taking levofloxacin.

With theophylline, fenbufen or similar drugs from the group of NSAIDs that reduce the seizure threshold of the brain. Pharmacokinetic interaction levofloxacin theophylline was not detected. The concentration of levofloxacin at simultaneous reception of fenbufen increased by only 13%.

However, concomitant administration of quinolones and theophylline, NSAIDs and other drugs that reduce the seizure threshold of the brain, possible a marked reduction in the threshold of convulsive readiness of the brain.

Indirect anticoagulants, in patients treated with levofloxacin in combination with indirect anticoagulants (e.g. warfarin), there was an increase in PT/INR and/or development of bleeding, including severe. Therefore, while the use of anticoagulants and levofloxacin requires regular monitoring of indicators of blood coagulation.

With probenecid and cimetidine. While the use of drugs violating renal tubular secretion of levofloxacin, such as probenecid and cimetidine, use caution especially in patients with renal insufficiency.

The elimination (renal clearance) of levofloxacin slows down under the effect of cimetidine on 24% and probenecid by 34%. It is unlikely that this may have clinical significance in normal kidney function.

With cyclosporine. Levofloxacin increased the half-life of cyclosporine is 33%. As this increase is clinically relevant, dose adjustment of cyclosporine in its concomitant use with levofloxacin are not required.

WITH GKS. Concomitant use of corticosteroids increases the risk of tendon rupture.

With drugs, extension QT interval. Levofloxacin, like other fluoroquinolones, should be used with caution in patients receiving drugs that lengthen the QT interval (e.g., antiarrhythmic drugs of IA and III class, tricyclic antidepressants, macrolides).

Other. A clinical-pharmacological study to investigate the possible pharmacokinetic interactions of levofloxacin with calcium carbonate, digoxin, glibenclamide, ranitidine and warfarin showed that the pharmacokinetics of levofloxacin with the simultaneous use of these drugs is not altered sufficiently to have clinical significance.

Method of application and dose:

Pills

Inside, with liquid squeezed enough liquid (from 0, 5 to 1 Cup), before a meal or anytime between meals, because food intake does not affect absorption of medication (see "Interactions"). Selection of dose pills you can break in a dividing groove.

The drug should be taken at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after taking antacids containing magnesium and/or aluminium, iron salts or sucralfate (see "Interactions").
