I'vI've had recurrent UTI infections on and off for the past 30 years. Levofloxacin saved me from the torture once I got a prescription over 15 y.o ago. If the infection is not severe I take 250 mg for 3 days and that does the trick. It works amazingly fast snd usually after the first dose I feel an instant relief from suffering of urinary infections. Very rarely I had to go through a week routine of 500 mg. Never had any problems. No tendon ruptures or other side effects and I'm a still active former ballet dancer who takes strenous classes 4-5 times a week. ## Awesome! I"m so glad that's it worked so well for you. Have you experienced any of the typical side effects that the FDA lists, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, diarrhea or non-allergic skin rash? Has you...

I took a 500 mg pill around noon (levofioxacin). At 5:30p.m. I got EXTREMELY COLD. was shaking from the feet to the tips of my fingers. Had a hard time catching my breath due to the shaking. I went to bed & turned on my electric blanket as high as it would go. I shook for 30 minutes from head to toe. Once the blanket started to warm me the shaking slowly got better My feet were burning & tingling. I braced my self so hard because of the shaking my hips & shoulders are very sore. It's now 4 hour's since this started & I feel shakey & nervous. Going to call my doctor tomorrow & tell her I'm not taking anymore of this medication. I've had UTI's for several month's & they just never seem to clear up. ## Hello, Iris! How are you? I'm ac...

I have levofloxcino that is three years old I'm very conjested and an asthmatic .its out of control a bit . But I have dealt with this many time I know the med will clear upy lungs.is it safe? Desperate , well I just toke one of them only had two left. They have been stored in s cool dry place. ## Hello, Mary! How are you? Levofloxacin is an antibiotic, so it will only help if you have an infection. The problem here is that with it being expired and your having only 2 left, you're creating the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria. It's never good to take an antibiotic that is expired with lowered efficacy, if an infection has not been confirmed and if you don't have enough to finish a full course of treatment. Have you consulted your physician? If you do need...

Has anyone experienced achilles tendon rupture? I've taken 2 pills (500 mg)so far and i think i'm feeling something at the back of my foot but im not sure. It might be cause im anxious about it happenning. Is it supposed to cause feelable pain or just something like an itch?

My father has a chest infection of an undiagnosed sort. The doctor prescribed a 5-day antibiotic (large white, long tablet) which I cannot recall the name of and need to -- in order to describe to the 'new' doc what my dad has taken for the problem (which has yet to cease). I do know that when I read the pamphlet, "anthrax" was listed, along with sinusitis, bronchitis, etc. for reasons the antibiotic is given. Any chance you can give me an idea of what the antibiotic might be? I'm quite sure it began with the letter "L"... Lexo... or something like that. ## Hello, Lisa! How are you? Was it possibly Levofloxacin? That's one that meets all the criteria that you've described. Can you please post back and let me know? Thanks!

I cannot stop coughing. The doctor started me on levfloxacin this eve. I need to stop coughing... but the meds are threatening to make me throw up. Help. ## Hello, Leemar812! How are you? Unfortunately, there are far too many cough syrups on the market for me to be able to check them all for against the Levofloxacin, especially since I have no idea which ones you have access to. Have you tried calling your doctor to ask? Is there a specific cough syrup you usually use? ## If the cough is a dry cough benzonatate might help. It did for me. ## If the cough is a dry cough benzonatate might help. It did for me. ps: I now have Levaquin poisoning after 4 tablets. Beware!

It will not do anything to treat a cough, for that you would need a cough suppressant and/or an expectorant. Have you consulted your doctor?
