Abstract
The new fluoroquinolone, levofloxacin, is more soluble in water enabling the use of higher drug concentrations (0.5%) compared with other currently available fluoroquinolone eyedrops (0.3%). The concentration AC with levofloxacin eyedrops was about 2-fold that reached with ofloxacin eyedrops. The concentration of the antibacterial isomer was approximately 3.5 to 4 times higher when levofloxacin was administered, assuming negligible stereoselective uptake.
