About Levaquin (Levofloxacin)

Levaquin is considered a quinolone antibiotic, which inhibits the growth of the organisms involved in bacterial infections. Like any antibiotic, this medication can only be used for bacterial infections. It is ineffective against viral infections because it will not affect viruses in the body.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) can fight off many types of infections, including respiratory and urinary tract infections (UTIs). If your infection can be diagnosed as bacterial and may be appropriately treated over telehealth, your online doctor may prescribe Levaquin, if appropriate. Levaquin is also available in a generic formulation under the name levofloxacin.

Levaquin may be prescribed as a capsule or liquid solution. It’s always important to follow the specific instructions on your prescription, as they can vary based on the formulation and dosage you are prescribed.

If you are prescribed Levaquin, be sure to complete the entire course of the antibiotics unless your doctor specifically tells you to stop.

If you don’t complete your prescription for the antibiotics, they may not fully treat your bacterial infection.

Levaquin (Levofloxacin) uses

There are many FDA-approved uses for Levaquin, and it may also be used off-label to treat other conditions. Your online medical professional may prescribe it for the following reasons and it is also possible that your healthcare provider may prescribe it for other reasons not listed here. Ask your online doctor if you have questions about why a medication is prescribed.

Bacterial Infection

Levaquin is indicated for the treatment of various bacterial infections. In most cases, this is not a first-line treatment due to the adverse drug reactions the patient may experience. The healthcare provider will first attempt to treat the bacterial infection with an antibiotic treatment that is safer compared to Levaquin. Should the bacterial infection not improve with the use of another antibiotic treatment, the healthcare provider may consider the use of Levaquin. There are different types of bacterial infections that can be treated with Levaquin including complicated urinary tract infections (kidney infections, also called pyelonephritis), acute bacterial sinusitis, and pneumonia.

Sometimes, Levaquin as combination therapy alongside other antibiotic treatment options for pelvic inflammatory disease, meningitis, and tuberculosis.

Exposure To Anthrax

When an individual is exposed to an animal infected with anthrax, they may develop bacterial infections caused by a specific strain known as Bacillus anthracis. There are certain cases where the healthcare provider will provide Levaquin to treat bacterial infections caused by these bacteria. A capsule, oral solution, or intravenous administration may be used, depending on the severity of these bacterial infections. Call 911 or go to the nearest Emergency Room if you experience any concern for anthrax exposure or infection.

Levaquin side effects

The side effects associated with taking Levaquin range from mild to severe. Most Levaquin side effects are mild and associated with digestive discomfort. Common side effects may include:

Constipation or diarrhea

Headaches

Nausea

Trouble sleeping

Dizziness

Other side effects, which are less common but might be more severe, could include:

Sweating

Irritability

A fast heart rate

Anxiety

A shaky feeling

Numbness that affects the legs, feet, arms, or hands

Behavioral changes

Paranoia

Memory issues

Concentration problems

Suicidal thoughts

Joint pain

Tendon rupture

You should call your doctor if you notice any of these side effects or develop other new or concerning symptoms. These adverse drug reactions can harm the central nervous system or mental health. Call 911 immediately if you experience any severe symptoms or side effects.

How to take Levaquin

Your pharmacist will provide you with instructions on how to take your Levaquin prescription.

Be sure to read your prescription label and follow the instructions. Call your doctor or pharmacy if you have any questions.

Levaquin can come in different forms and doses, so follow the specific instructions on your prescription. The dosage and administration largely depend on the form of Levaquin that a healthcare provider prescribes.

What to avoid while taking Levaquin (interactions)

Levaquin has multiple drug interactions. Don’t change what you take without checking with your doctor or pharmacist. That includes other medications or supplements, as well as over-the-counter drugs.

Be careful about combining the use of Levaquin with the following drugs:

Videx (didanosine)
Antacids (with aluminum or magnesium)
Carafate (sucralfate)

If you take supplements containing zinc, magnesium, iron, or aluminum, call your doctor and ensure they are safe to take with Levaquin.

You should also avoid using Levaquin if you recently took a diuretic or take prescription drugs for your heart rhythm. Some drug interactions can occur between Levaquin and antidepressants. Tell your doctor if you have a medical history of mental health problems.

It is important to also tell your doctor about your medical history and other drugs you take. This can reduce the risk of severe adverse reactions and drug interactions.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist if it is acceptable to consume alcohol while taking Levaquin.

Some research shows that regular alcohol consumption may harm the immune system. Alcohol may also reduce the medication’s ability to do its job, making it harder to stop the growth of the bacteria causing bacterial infections.

Medication alternatives to Levaquin

If your healthcare provider prefers to put you on another treatment, they may suggest another quinolone or an antibiotic in another drug class. Here are some common doctor-recommended alternatives based on your health issue:

Uncomplicated urinary tract infections

The healthcare provider may prefer a safer antibiotic treatment with fewer potential adverse effects if the patient has a mild to moderate urinary tract infection.

Nitrofurantoin

Monurol

Bactrim DS

Septra DS

Dental Infection

Patients with a dental infection usually start their treatment with a general antibiotic treatment that stops the growth of different bacterium species.

Amoxicillin Penicillin Metronidazole Azithromycin

Erythromycin

Clindamycin
