No, it is not the same. Levaquin contains Levofloxacin, which is different than the Nitrofurantoin.

The Cipro and Levaquin are much more similar, because Cipro contains Ciprofloxacin.

There is really no way to say that one is more effective than any other. It depends on the type of infection being treated, the severity of it and the person's response to any given antibiotic.

Is there anything else I can help with?

No, they are not the same drugs. But if you have a choice of the two drugs, both of which might be effective for your particular condition, it would be smart to choose the nitrofuran monohyd because the side effects of Levaquin can be devastating. Any time that you have a choice, you should choose something other than Levaquin. Please see the page on Side Effects of Levaquin to see why the Fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics is best avoided whenever possible.
