Pharmacology usually presented first, often includes a mechanism of action.
Pharmacology: Levofloxacin, a synthetic broad spectrum antibacterial agent for oral and i.v. administration. Levofloxacin is the L-isomer of ofloxacin.
… The mechanism of action of levofloxacin and other quinolone anti-bacterials involves the inhibition of bacterial topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) … vital for DNA replication, transcription, repair and recombination.

Statements under Pharmacokinetics
OralLevofloxacin is rapidly and essentially completely absorbed following oral administration.
Peak plasma concentrations are usually attained after 1-2 hours after oral dosing.
The absolute bioavailability of a 500 mg tablet and a 750 mg tablet of Levofloxacin is approximately 99% in both cases, demonstrating complete oral absorption of levofloxacin.
![Page 13: Introduction To Pharmacokinetics Pharmacokinetics as a Tool Review of CPS Monograph of Levaquin® Levofloxacin, Janssen-Ortho Available on the web under.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649cec5503460f949b9280/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Statements under Pharmacokinetics
Oral
Levofloxacin pharmacokinetics are linear and predictable after single and multiple oral dosing regimens.
Steady-state conditions are reached within 48 hours following a 500 mg or 750 mg once-daily dosage regimen.
![Page 14: Introduction To Pharmacokinetics Pharmacokinetics as a Tool Review of CPS Monograph of Levaquin® Levofloxacin, Janssen-Ortho Available on the web under.](https://reader035.fdocuments.in/reader035/viewer/2022081501/56649cec5503460f949b9280/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Statements under Pharmacokinetics
Oral
The peak and trough plasma concentrations attained following multiple once daily oral dosage regimens were approximately 5.7 ug/mL and 0.5 ug/mL after the 500 mg doses and 8.6 ug/mL and 1.1 ug/mL after the 750 mg doses, respectively.
There was no clinically significant effect of food on the extent of absorption of levofloxacin. Oral administration with food slightly prolongs the time to peak concentration by approximately 1 hour, and slightly decreases the peak concentration by approximately 14%. Therefore, levofloxacin can be administered without regard to food.

Statements under Pharmacokinetics
IVFollowing a single intravenous dose of levofloxacin to health volunteers, the mean peak plasma concentration attained was 6.2 ug/mL after a 500 mg dose infused over 60 minutes, and 7.99 ug/mL after a 750 mg dose infused over 90 minutes.
Levofloxacin pharmacokinetics are linear and predictable after single and multiple IV dosing regimens.

Statements under Pharmacokinetics
IV
Steady state conditions are reached within 48 hours following a 500 mg or 750 mg once-daily IV regimens. The peak and trough plasma concentrations following multiple once-daily i.v. regimens were approximately 6.4ug/mLand 0.6 ug/mL after 500 mg doses and 7.92 ug/mL and 0.85 ug/mL after 750 mg doses, respectively.

Statements under Pharmacokinetics
IV
The plasma concentration profile of levofloxacin after IV administration is similar and comparable in extent of exposure (AUC) to that observed for levofloxacin tablets when equal doses (mg/mg) are administered.
Therefore, the oral and IV routes of administration can be considered interchangeable (see figure).

Statements under Pharmacokinetics
DistributionThe mean volume of distribution of levofloxacin generally ranges from 74 to 112L after single and multiple a 500 mg or 750 mg doses, indicating widespread distribution to body tissues.
Levofloxacin reaches its peak levels in skin tissue (11.7 ug/g for a 750 mg dose) and in blister fluid (4.33 ug/g for a 500 mg dose) at approximately 3-4 hours after dosing.

Statements under Pharmacokinetics
MetabolismLevofloxacin undergoes limited metabolism in humans and is primarily excreted as unchanged drug ( 87%) in the urine within 48 hours.
ExcretionThe major route of elimination of levofloxacin in humans is as unchanged drug in the urine. The mean terminal plasma elimination half-life of levofloxacin ranges from 6 to 8 hours following single or multiple doses of levofloxacin given orally or intravenously.
