Cravit – When Regular Antibiotics Don’t Cut It

What doctors use it for Cravit has Levofloxacin in it – this is one of those big gun antibiotics doctors break out when you’ve got a serious bacterial infection. Here’s when you might get prescribed this:

• Pneumonia, bad bronchitis, or sinus infections that just won’t clear up with regular antibiotics
• Urinary tract infections that are really stubborn or complicated
• Infected cuts, wounds, or skin problems that are spreading
• Men with prostate infections
• Eye infections if you get the drop version

It works by screwing up the bacteria’s ability to copy their DNA, which basically kills them off so your body can heal.

The medicine breakdown

• Main ingredient: Levofloxacin
• Type: Fluoroquinolone antibiotic (the heavy-duty kind)
• Forms: Tablets you swallow, IV for hospital use, or eye drops

Don’t screw around with this Take every single dose exactly like your doctor told you, even after you start feeling human again. Stop early and the bacteria can develop resistance, making future infections way harder to treat.

Kids under 18, pregnant women, and breastfeeding moms usually can’t take this unless there’s no other choice and a doctor decides the infection is more dangerous than the potential side effects.

Got kidney disease, seizures, tendon problems, or heart rhythm issues? Your doctor needs to watch you extra carefully. This stuff makes you burn in the sun like crazy, so stay covered up. Don’t pop antacids, iron supplements, or certain heart pills at the same time – they mess with absorption.

Side effects you might face What most people experience:

• Nausea, puking, loose bowels
• Head pounding, dizzy spells, can’t fall asleep
• Stomach cramping or indigestion
• Sunburn after just a few minutes outside

Really bad stuff that happens sometimes: your Achilles tendon can actually snap, permanent nerve damage, going crazy with mood swings or depression, life-threatening allergic reactions. Any of this scary stuff happens, drop everything and get emergency medical help.
