It is removed with urine, small amounts with a stake and bile.
Pharmacodynamics
Antibiotic of a broad spectrum of activity. The mechanism of antimicrobial effect of levomycetinum is connected with disturbance of protein synthesis of microorganisms. Has bacteriostatic action.

Medicinal interactions
At simultaneous use of levomycetinum with oral hypoglycemic drugs is noted strengthening of hypoglycemic action due to suppression of metabolism of these drugs in a liver and increases in their concentration in blood plasma. At simultaneous use with the drugs oppressing a marrowy hemopoiesis strengthening of the oppressing action on marrow is noted. At simultaneous use with erythromycin, clindamycin, lincomycin the mutual weakening of action is noted. At use with penicillin levomycetinum counteracts manifestation of bactericidal effect of penicillin. Levomycetinum suppresses the fermental system of P450 cytochrome therefore at simultaneous use with phenobarbital, Phenytoinum, warfarin note weakening of metabolism of these drugs, delay of removal and increase in their concentration in blood plasma.

The special
instructions Levomycetinum do not apply at newborns as development of a gray syndrome is possible (a meteorism, nausea, a hypothermia, gray-blue skin color, the progressing cyanosis, dispnoe, cardiovascular insufficiency). With care apply at the patients receiving earlier treatment by cytostatic drugs or radiation therapy.
