Levoquin, which contains the active ingredient Levofloxacin, is part of a class of antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones. Its main purpose is to treat bacterial infections. It effectively addresses infections in the urinary tract, kidneys, skin, sinuses, and prostate, as well as various other infections throughout the body. Additionally, it is frequently utilized to treat pneumonia and chronic bronchitis. It’s important to note that antibiotics work by targeting and eliminating bacteria that cause infections, so they are ineffective against viral infections like the common cold or flu.
 
Patients prescribed Levoquin typically receive specific instructions from their healthcare provider regarding the dosage and duration of treatment. The required dosage can vary, and since this medication is used for multiple types of infections, doctors generally base the dosage on the specific infection being treated and its severity. Most adult patients are advised to take it once daily. However, it is crucial to complete the entire prescribed course of Levoquin.
 
Levoquin may lead to some side effects, including insomnia, indigestion, vaginal itching, vaginal discharge, and abdominal pain.
 
Before beginning Levoquin, you should consult your doctor about the potential risk of more serious side effects. While severe reactions are rare, they can occur, and all patients should be aware that immediate medical attention is necessary if serious symptoms develop, such as skin blisters, tremors, seizures, reduced appetite, unusual bruising, or any other indicators of a severe reaction.
 
Using Levoquin may increase the risk of tendinitis or tendon rupture, which can happen in areas such as the hand, ankle, or shoulder. Prior to starting treatment, discuss with your doctor the risks and benefits associated with Levoquin.
 
Levoquin should not be used in patients with myasthenia gravis, as it could worsen their condition. Seek emergency medical help if you experience an allergic reaction. Symptoms to be aware of that may indicate a reaction include skin rashes, hives, swelling of the face or extremities, difficulty breathing, and trouble swallowing.
