RxCUI RXN-55150243-2372 • NDC 55150-243

Listed in the U.S. FDA National Drug Code Registry (55150-243, 55150-244), Levofloxacin in 5% Dextrose serves as a intravenous-route prescription fluoroquinolone antibacterial (250 mg/50mL Injection, Solution and 500 mg/100mL Injection, Solution, manufactured/labeled by Eugia US LLC) utilized in evidence-based specialty and primary care protocols.

Upon intravenous-route administration of 250 mg/50mL Injection, Solution and 500 mg/100mL Injection, Solution, Levofloxacin in 5% Dextrose (manufactured/labeled by Eugia US LLC; NDC 55150-243, 55150-244) engages fluoroquinolone antibacterial biochemical pathways to achieve steady-state therapeutic response balanced against organ-specific metabolic elimination.

Systemic exposure to Levofloxacin in 5% Dextrose reflects Complete (~100%) parenteral systemic delivery for Levofloxacin in 5% Dextrose (250 mg/50mL Injection, Solution) absorption kinetics and dual hepatorenal clearance pathway combining glucuronidation and urinary filtration of levofloxacin in 5% dextrose, sustaining receptor engagement across a Mean elimination half-life of 7 to 11 hours across adult Levofloxacin in 5% Dextrose dosing half-life window (rapid intravascular/parenteral onset within 15–45 minutes after levofloxacin in 5% dextrose administration response profile).

Dosing protocols (250 mg/50mL Injection, Solution or 500 mg/100mL Injection, Solution or 750 mg/150mL Injection, Solution) balance efficacy (75.00% patient satisfaction across 15 logs) against diarrhea (9.5% of reports), nausea (8.9% of reports), headache (6.8% of reports), with strict avoidance in contraindicated in patients with prior serious allergic response to levofloxacin in 5% dextrose (ndc 55150-243); severe baseline organ impairment where levofloxacin in 5% dextrose accumulation exceeds safe therapeutic margins.
