What is the IV:PO ratio of Levofloxacin?

  1. 2:1

  2. 1:2

  3. 1:1

  4. 1:0.5

The correct answer is: 1:1

The IV:PO ratio of Levofloxacin is 1:1. This means that the dosage of Levofloxacin given intravenously (IV) is equivalent to the dosage given orally (PO). This particular ratio is important for pharmacists to be aware of when transitioning a patient from intravenous to oral therapy to ensure the patient receives the appropriate dose via the oral route. The other options are not correct because: - Option A (2:1) and Option B (1:2) do not reflect the correct IV:PO ratio for Levofloxacin. - Option D (1:0.5) also does not represent the correct IV:PO ratio of Levofloxacin, which is 1:1.
