Levaquin Information
Uses
Levaquin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to
treat bacterial infections (e.g., urinary tract infections,
skin infections, or respiratory tract infections).
How To Use
Use Levaquin exactly as directed by your doctor.
Levaquin may be taken on an empty stomach or with
food. TAKE LEVAQUIN WITH A FULL GLASS (8 ounces)
OF WATER. Also, drink several additional glasses of
water each day. TAKE LEVAQUIN 2 hours before or
2 hours after taking any medicines containing magnesium
or aluminum. Some examples include quinapril, didanosine,
vitamins/minerals, and antacids. Sucralfate, bismuth
subsalicylate, iron, and zinc are also included. These
medicines bind with levofloxacin preventing its full
absorption. STORE LEVAQUIN at room temperature
between 59 and 86 degrees F (15 and 30 degrees C) in
a tightly-closed container, away from heat and light.
Do not store in the bathroom. TO CLEAR UP YOUR INFECTION
COMPLETELY, continue taking Levaquin for the full
course of treatment even if you feel better in a few
days. Do not miss any doses. IF YOU MISS A DOSE OF LEVAQUIN, take it as soon as possible. If it is almost
time for your next dose, skip the missed dose and go
back to your regular dosing schedule. Do NOT take 2
doses at once.
Side Effects
SIDE EFFECTS that may occur while taking Levaquin
include nausea, trouble sleeping, diarrhea, vomiting,
change in taste, headache, or dizziness. If they continue
or are bothersome, check with your doctor. CHECK WITH
YOUR DOCTOR AS SOON AS POSSIBLE if you experience tendon,
joint, or muscle pain or swelling, "sunburn"
(sun sensitivity), vaginal discomfort, abdominal pain,
or vision changes. CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR IMMEDIATELY if
you experience seizures, mental/mood changes, chest
pain, irregular heartbeat, restlessness, confusion,
change in amount of urine, or yellowing of eyes or skin.
Use of Levaquin for prolonged or repeated periods
may result in oral thrush, or a new yeast infection
(e.g., oral or vaginal fungal infection). Contact your
doctor if you notice white patches in your mouth, a
change in vaginal discharge or other new symptoms. If
you notice other effects not listed above, contact your
doctor, nurse, or pharmacist.
Precautions
DO NOT TAKE LEVAQUIN IF YOU HAVE HAD A SEVERE ALLERGIC
REACTION to Levaquin or another fluoroquinolone
antibiotic (such as ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin). A severe
reaction includes a severe rash, hives, breathing difficulties,
or dizziness. If you have a question about whether you
are allergic to Levaquin or if a certain medicine
is a fluoroquinolone, contact your doctor or pharmacist.
IF LEVAQUIN CAUSES A SKIN RASH, HIVES, OR DIFFICULTY
BREATHING, check with your doctor before taking additional
doses. If your symptoms do not improve or if they become
worse, check with your doctor. KEEP ALL DOCTOR AND LABORATORY
APPOINTMENTS while you are using Levaquin. LEVAQUIN MAY CAUSE DIZZINESS or lightheadedness. Using
Levaquin alone, with other medicines, or with alcohol
may lessen your ability to drive or to perform other
potentially dangerous tasks. Ask your doctor or pharmacist
if you have questions about which medicines cause dizziness.
IF MODERATE TO SEVERE DIARRHEA OCCURS during or after
treatment with Levaquin, check with your doctor
or pharmacist. Do not treat it with non-prescription
(over-the-counter) medicines. LEVAQUIN MAY CAUSE
increased sensitivity to the sun. Avoid exposure to
the sun, sunlamps, or tanning booths until you know
how you react to Levaquin. Use a sunscreen or protective
clothing if you must be outside for a prolonged period.
BEFORE YOU BEGIN TAKING ANY NEW MEDICINE, either prescription
or over-the-counter, check with your doctor or pharmacist.
FOR WOMEN: IF YOU PLAN ON BECOMING PREGNANT, discuss
with your doctor the benefits and risks of using Levaquin during pregnancy. BASED ON INFORMATION FROM
A RELATED DRUG, Levaquin may be excreted in breast
milk. DO NOT BREAST-FEED while taking Levaquin.
IF YOU HAVE DIABETES, Levaquin may affect your
blood sugar. Check blood sugar levels closely and ask
your doctor before adjusting the dose of your diabetes
medicine.

with each other.
Overdose
If overdose is suspected, contact your local poison
control center or emergency room immediately.
Notes
If your symptoms do not improve within a few days or
if they become worse, check with your doctor. DO NOT
SHARE LEVAQUIN with others for whom it was not
prescribed. DO NOT USE LEVAQUIN for other health
conditions, or later for other infections. A different
medicine may be needed in those cases. KEEP LEVAQUIN
out of the reach of children and pets.
