What brand names does levofloxacin come as?
Levofloxacin is an antibiotic sold under multiple brand names in different countries and by different manufacturers. Common brand names you may see include Levaquin and others depending on the market.
What is Levaquin (the best-known levofloxacin brand)?
Levaquin is one of the most widely recognized brands for levofloxacin, used to treat certain bacterial infections (prescribing depends on the specific infection and patient factors).
Is there a generic levofloxacin?
Yes. In many places, generic levofloxacin (the same active ingredient) is available, typically at lower cost than branded versions like Levaquin.
How do brand and generic levofloxacin compare?
The key difference is usually the manufacturer and price, not the antibiotic’s intended effect. Both branded and generic products contain levofloxacin as the active ingredient; differences can show up in inactive ingredients, tablet strength, and formulation.
How to find the right levofloxacin brand for your prescription
Check the exact drug name on the prescription label (active ingredient: levofloxacin vs. “levofloxacin hemihydrate”), plus the strength (for example, 250 mg or 500 mg) and dosage form (tablet vs. oral solution). Brand names can differ by country and pharmacy supply.
