Fuvelox 750mg Tablet contains Levofloxacin 750mg, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It is commonly prescribed for infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, skin, soft tissues, and sinuses.

Levofloxacin works by killing bacteria through inhibition of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for bacterial growth and replication. This stops the infection from spreading and helps the body recover faster.
