Levaquin (active ingredient: levofloxacin) is a prescription fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. It works by killing susceptible bacteria, helping clear the infection and relieve symptoms. Because antibiotics are only effective against bacteria, Levaquin does not treat viral infections such as the common cold or influenza (flu).
Levaquin may be prescribed to treat the following bacterial infections:
Levaquin is commonly used to treat bacterial infections affecting the lungs and airways, including:
These infections may cause symptoms such as cough, fever, chest discomfort, shortness of breath, nasal congestion, facial pain, or thick nasal discharge. Levaquin helps eliminate the bacteria causing the infection, allowing the body to recover.
Levaquin is used to treat certain urinary tract infections (UTIs), including:
Symptoms of a UTI may include painful or frequent urination, an urgent need to urinate, lower abdominal discomfort, or cloudy urine. Kidney infections may also cause fever, chills, nausea, vomiting, and pain in the back or side.
Levaquin is also indicated for the treatment of certain bacterial skin and skin structure infections, including:
These infections may cause redness, warmth, swelling, pain, or drainage from the affected area. By eliminating the bacteria responsible for the infection, Levaquin helps the skin heal.
Levaquin may be prescribed to treat chronic bacterial prostatitis, a long-term bacterial infection of the prostate gland.
Symptoms may include pelvic pain, pain during urination or ejaculation, difficulty urinating, frequent urination, or recurrent urinary tract infections. Treating the underlying bacterial infection can help relieve these symptoms and reduce the risk of recurrence.
Levaquin belongs to a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. It works by blocking two bacterial enzymes, DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which bacteria need to copy, repair, and reproduce their DNA. Without these enzymes, the bacteria cannot survive or multiply, causing them to die and allowing the infection to clear.
To help ensure the medication works effectively and reduce the risk of antibiotic resistance, take Levaquin exactly as prescribed and complete the full course of treatment, even if you begin to feel better before the medication is finished.
Levaquin is available as an oral tablet that is usually taken once daily, or exactly as prescribed by your healthcare provider. It may be taken with or without food, but it should be taken at the same time each day to help maintain consistent levels of the medication in your body and improve its effectiveness.
Swallow the tablet with a full glass of water, and drink plenty of fluids throughout the day unless your healthcare provider has instructed you to limit your fluid intake. Staying well hydrated may help reduce the risk of certain side effects.
The length of treatment depends on the type and severity of the infection, your overall health, and how well you respond to the medication. Even if you begin to feel better after a few days, continue taking Levaquin until you have completed the full prescribed course. Stopping treatment too early may allow the infection to return and increase the risk of antibiotic resistance.
The appropriate dose of Levaquin varies depending on the infection being treated, its severity, your kidney function, your age, and other individual factors.
For adults, the usual dosage ranges from 250 mg to 750 mg once daily, depending on the condition being treated. Treatment duration may range from a few days to several weeks based on the type of infection.
For children, Levaquin is approved only for certain infections and is not routinely prescribed for most pediatric infections because of the risk of musculoskeletal side effects. When it is used in children, the dose is based on body weight and the specific condition being treated, rather than a standard adult dose. Your child’s healthcare provider will determine the appropriate dosage and treatment schedule.
To help Levaquin work as effectively as possible:
Your healthcare provider may adjust your dosage if you have reduced kidney function, as levofloxacin is primarily removed from the body by the kidneys. Always follow your healthcare provider’s instructions and do not change your dose without medical advice.
Levaquin (Levofloxacin) is available in the following forms and strengths:
Before taking Levaquin, tell your healthcare provider about your complete medical history, any allergies you have, and all prescription medications, over-the-counter medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements you are taking. This information helps your healthcare provider determine whether Levaquin is appropriate for you and whether additional monitoring or dose adjustments are needed during treatment.
Do not take Levaquin if you have had an allergic reaction to levofloxacin or any other fluoroquinolone antibiotic, including:
Levaquin also contains inactive ingredients that may cause allergic reactions in some people. Tell your healthcare provider or pharmacist about any medication allergies or previous allergic reactions before starting treatment.
Seek immediate medical attention if you develop signs of a serious allergic reaction, such as:
Before taking Levaquin, tell your healthcare provider if you have or have ever had:
These conditions may increase your risk of side effects or require closer monitoring during treatment.
Levaquin may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or drowsiness, particularly when you first begin treatment.
Until you know how the medication affects you, avoid activities that require alertness, such as:
If dizziness becomes severe or does not improve, contact your healthcare provider.
Alcohol and cannabis (marijuana) may increase the risk of dizziness, drowsiness, and impaired concentration while taking Levaquin.
To help reduce these effects:
Levaquin belongs to a class of antibiotics known as fluoroquinolones, which have been associated with rare but potentially serious effects on the nervous system and mental health. These side effects can occur after the first dose and may become permanent in some cases.
Stop taking Levaquin and contact your healthcare provider immediately if you experience symptoms such as:
Prompt medical evaluation is important because these symptoms may indicate serious adverse reactions that require discontinuation of the medication.
Some medications and supplements can reduce how well Levaquin is absorbed by your body, making it less effective.
Take Levaquin at least 2 hours before or 2 hours after any of the following:
Other mineral supplements containing calcium, magnesium, aluminum, iron, or zinc
If you are unsure whether one of your medications or supplements may interact with Levaquin, ask your healthcare provider or pharmacist before taking them together.
Take Levaquin exactly as prescribed and complete the full course of treatment, even if you begin feeling better. Contact your healthcare provider promptly if you develop severe side effects, worsening symptoms, or signs of an allergic reaction during treatment.
If you miss a dose of Levaquin, take it as soon as you remember. However, if it is almost time for your next scheduled dose, skip the missed dose and take your next dose at the usual time. Do not take two doses at the same time or extra doses to make up for a missed one, as this may increase your risk of side effects.
If you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or think you may be pregnant, talk to your healthcare provider before taking Levaquin. The safety of levofloxacin during pregnancy has not been fully established. Your healthcare provider will prescribe it only if the expected benefits outweigh the potential risks to you and your developing baby.
No. Levaquin is an antibiotic that works only against bacterial infections. It is not effective against viruses and should not be used to treat illnesses such as the common cold, influenza (flu), or most sore throats caused by viral infections. Taking antibiotics when they are not needed can contribute to antibiotic resistance, making future bacterial infections more difficult to treat.
The length of treatment depends on the type and severity of the infection being treated. For many bacterial infections, Levaquin is taken for 7 to 14 days. However, some infections may require only 3 to 5 days of treatment, while others may require a longer course. Always take Levaquin for the full length of time prescribed by your healthcare provider, even if you begin to feel better before you finish the medication. Stopping treatment too early may allow the infection to return and increase the risk of antibiotic resistance.
