Solubility of Fluoroquinolones
According to: http://aac.asm.org/cgi/content/full/44/3/798#T1
the solubility of fluoroquinolones in water is:
moxifloxacin, 2.4 g/100 ml; sparfloxacin, 0.11 g/100ml; trovafloxacin , 0.002 g/100 ml; ciprofloxacin 3.5 g/100 ml; and levofloxacin 2.5 g/100 ml
Levofloxacin is generally soluble in water and acidic solutions, but its solubility can vary depending on factors such as temperature and pH. It is important to consult the specific product information or literature to determine the solubility under specific conditions.
You can't. Liquid Ciprofloxacin is a "suspension." You shake the bottle until the product is evenly mixed throughout it, pour out the dose and give it to the person taking it, and when you stick the bottle back in the fridge the medicine will sink to the bottom in a short period of time.
However, cipro itself is noted by at least one supplier as being soluble in water (30 mg/ml), so if you don't need it to be too concentrated, just putting it in water and stirring should work. If that fails, salts are generally more soluble than the "free base" form, so you could try that.
ciprofloxacin HCL is more soluble in water than acetone or propan-2-ol.
however some chemists claim it's best soluble in glycerin. i have not personally tried that out though.

The ability of a substance to dissolve in a solvent is called?
The ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent at a certain temperature is called solubility. The solubility of most solids in water increases with temperature increases.
What is the ability of one material to dissolve in another?
The ability of one substance to dissolve in another substance is called SOLUBILITY.
Which term is the maximum amount of a solute that dissolves in a given amount solvent at a constant temperature?
Solubility
What is the description of solubility?
Solubility is the ability of a solute to dissolve in a solvent in order to form a homogeneous solution. Relative solubility refers to the solubility of different substances.
Can heat change the solubility?
Yes, heat can change the solubility of a substance. In general, an increase in temperature usually increases the solubility of solid solutes in liquids, while the solubility of gases in liquids decreases with increasing temperature.

Levofloxacin is an antibiotic that is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting the bacterial DNA replication and killing the bacteria, thus helping to eliminate the infection.
Can Levofloxacin be given in breast feeding mothers?
As i research it is Levofloxacin is the S-enantiomer of the fluoroquinolone, ofloxacin. Fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin have traditionally not been used in infants because of concern about adverse effects on the infants' developing joints. However, recent studies indicate little risk.[1][2] The calcium in milk might prevent absorption of the small amounts of fluoroquinolones in milk,[3] but insufficient data exist to prove or disprove this assertion. Short-term use of levofloxacin is acceptable in nursing mothers. Avoiding breastfeeding between 4 to 6 hours after a dose should decrease the exposure of the infant to levofloxacin in breastmilk. Maternal use of an eye drop that contains levofloxacin presents negligible risk for the nursing infant.
