What is the brand name for levofloxacin 500 mg?
Levofloxacin 500 mg is sold under several brand names depending on the country and manufacturer. In the U.S., the most commonly known brand name for levofloxacin tablets (including 500 mg) is Levaquin.
Is levofloxacin 500 the same as Levaquin 500?
Yes. Levaquin is a brand of levofloxacin, and “Levaquin 500” typically refers to the 500 mg strength of the same active ingredient.
Are there other brands besides Levaquin?
Yes. Levofloxacin is widely available as both branded products and generics, so other brand names may exist in different markets. If you share your country (or the label you have), I can help identify the exact brand name shown on your package.
Is levofloxacin 500 ever sold under different strengths or forms?
It can be. Levofloxacin is also marketed in other strengths and forms (such as different tablet doses, and in some cases other dosage forms). The “500” specifically indicates the milligram strength of the active ingredient.
What should I check on the label?
Look for “levofloxacin” as the active ingredient and confirm the strength is “500 mg.” Brand names can differ, but the active ingredient and dose should match.
