More Information

The dangers of Levaquin

Levofloxacin carries a risk of tendon disorders such as tendinitis, arthropathies, and tendon rupture. Tendon damage can occur during treatment or the first several months after finishing the fluoroquinolone. Factors that can increase the risk of side effects include concurrent use of corticosteroids, being older than 60 years.

Warning! Stop taking Levaquin immediately, avoid exercise, and call your doctor promptly if you develop pain, inflammation, or a discomfort in a tendon or muscles.

Fluoroquinolones may affect bone and joint development in children and teenagers. Therefore infants, children, teenagers, pregnant or breastfeeding women should not take Levofloxacin unless it is prescribed by a doctor.

The most common side effects are mild diarrhea, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, dizziness, nervousness, and headache.

The benefits of Levaquin

Levofloxacin is a bactericidal and is highly effective against gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria.

Levaquin is sometimes called "respiratory quinolone". It is very effective against atypical respiratory pathogens (Legionella pneumophila, Mycoplasma pneumoniae, Chlamydophila pneumoniae) and resistant pneumococci.

Lower potential for resistance problems than with older quinolones.

Levofloxacin is nearly 100% bioavailable, therefore oral and intravenous formulations may be considered interchangeable.

How to take

  • Take the entire course to make sure the infection is cleared up completely. Do not stop the treatment just because symptoms begin to improve. The infection may re-occur if you stop too soon.
  • Antibiotic works best when constant levels are maintained in the blood. To help keep levels constant, take it at the same time each day.
  • Drinking extra fluids is recommended to help prevent some side effects.
  • Avoid taking antacids that contain aluminum, calcium, or magnesium at the same time as Levofloxacin. The antacids may reduce its effectiveness.
  • Diabetes patients: Levofloxacin may affect your blood sugar. Check blood sugar levels closely.
