DAYFIV Tablets/Film-coated

What is DAYFIV

DAYFIV is a film-coated tablet that contains Levofloxacin, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic effective against a variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin infections.

Levofloxacin acts by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, essential enzymes required for bacterial DNA replication and repair. This disruption leads to bacterial cell death.

How to use DAYFIV

DAYFIV is administered orally. The following guidelines should be followed:

• Administration Route: The tablet should be swallowed whole with a sufficient amount of water. It can be taken with or without food, although taking it with food may reduce gastrointestinal discomfort.
• Dosage Schedule: Follow the healthcare provider’s prescribed dosage, generally one tablet daily for the recommended duration.
• Missed Dose: If a dose is missed, take it as soon as remembered. If it is near the time of the next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and resume the regular dosing schedule.

It is important to adhere to these guidelines for the optimal effectiveness of DAYFIV.

Mode of Action DAYFIV

DAYFIV operates through its antibacterial mechanism by targeting and inhibiting critical bacterial enzymes involved in DNA synthesis. This inhibition stops bacterial growth and leads to cell death.

• Mechanism of Action: Levofloxacin’s inhibition of DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV is crucial in preventing bacterial replication.
• Other Indications: It is also indicated for treating severe infections caused by susceptible organisms, according to laboratory test results.

DAYFIV plays a key role in effectively managing various bacterial infections.

DAYFIV Interactions DAYFIV

Before using DAYFIV, consider the potential for drug interactions:

• Antacids and Supplements: Products containing magnesium, aluminum, or calcium may interfere with Levofloxacin absorption; spacing their administration is advisable.
• Other Antibiotics: Caution is required when used in conjunction with other antibiotics to avoid cumulative side effects.
• Consultation: Discuss any current medications with your healthcare provider before starting DAYFIV to prevent possible interactions.

Awareness of potential interactions promotes safe and effective use of DAYFIV.

Dosage of DAYFIV

The dosing regimen for DAYFIV varies depending on the type of infection:

• Respiratory Tract Infections: Typically, one tablet (500mg) once daily for 7 to 14 days, based on infection severity.
• Urinary Tract Infections: Duration and dosage may differ; consult your healthcare provider for tailored recommendations.
• Consultation: Always adhere to your healthcare provider’s instructions regarding dosing to ensure effective treatment.

Adjustments may be necessary depending on the patients response and the infection.
