Levofloxacin Cured My Illness But Side Effects Are Horrible

I was given levaquin 500 mg for liking pneumonia took 7 of the 10 pills when my real doctor returned. He called and suggested I come in, he performed tests said pneumonia was gone. I felt better with the pneumonia than now two weeks off levaquin. Feel weak, diarrhea calf pain .. Terrible drug. Worked but side effects I would of rather had something else.

Hello, Greg! How are you?

Those are pretty typical side effects for most antibiotics, as reported by the FDA. They may also cause nausea, dizziness, headache and non-allergic skin rash.

Some people experience them all, some don't experience any, there's no way for your doctor to know how any given medication will affect any given person they prescribe it to.

However, in the future, you can request a different medication, if you need another antibiotic.

Is there anything else I can help with?
