Levofloxacin induces erythrocyte contraction leading to red cell death
In conclusion, our findings showed that the indicated levofloxacin doses caused oxidative stress, which leads to erythrocyte death via eryptosis and hemolysis. These findings emphasize the importance of using levofloxacin with caution and the need for additional research to mitigate these side effects.
