I need to know what this iz asap life/death on the line! ## Hi smokey, The closest match I could find is a white oblong shaped pill marked with "547" on the front and "W" on the back. I can only speculate here, but perhaps the moon logo you're describing is simply a W? This is identified as Levofloxacin 750 mg; a broad spectrum antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone drug class.

I am suffering from the symptoms of levofloxacin poisioning which include pressure in head and vision loss( perhaps IIH) Would it be safe to fly from europe to America for treatment in a major clinic.. ## I see this was posted a few months ago. Have things improved any? What turned out to be causing the problem? American can be very picky about who it lets it that is ill and why they are ill, due to possible dangers, so you'd never be able to just diagnose yourself and fly on over for treatment. You'd have to have everything fully documented and diagnosed by a medical team in your home country. ## Hey, I'm just reading your post. How eactly did you get Levofloxacin posoining? I"m perscrbed that for upper respiratory/congestion symptoms. My Doctor writes the script so if ...

I am recovering from a severe case of pneumona. I was given Levofloxacin and following a recurrence I was given a steroid. Two weeks ago the Pulmonologist said my lungs were clear (x-ray). However I am still short of breath and have some discomfort in my chest. Is this just part of the recovery process? ## Are you aware of whether or not you have an allergy to sulfa? Only asking because there are a number of sulfa related allergy symptoms, which may explain what you're experiencing... "Lung reactions: Sulfa allergy can affect the lung, with pneumonia-like reactions, worsening asthma and vasculitis occurring." Referenced from: allergies.about.com/od/medicationallergies/a/sulfa.htm I hope this info helps!

I am recovering from a severe case of pneumonia, beginning in March. I was given levofloxacin and, following recurrence, a steroid. Two weeks ago the pulmonologist said my lungs were clear (xray). However I am still short of breath and have some discomfort in my chest. Is this just part of the recovery. process? Do you recommend another antibiotic? ## I'd think that after having it for several months, it would take awhile for you to recover, especially since your lungs weren't able to operate at full capacity for awhile. Learn more pneumonia details here. If the infection isn't present any longer, then another round of antibiotics isn't going to do you any good. Have you talked to your doctor about these issues?
