Levaquin Possible Side Effects?

Updated May 26, 2014

I was diagnosed with prostitis. I am a 25 yr old Male. I took 2 doses of 500mg (2 days worth out of 14). On the third day I decided to stop and switched to bactrium. That day I also worked out. The following night (over 24 hours from last dose of Levaquin) I woke up in the middle of the night and my left Achilles tendon was really sore and had a rash. I was wearing a sleeve for plantar facitis at the time. So I took off the sleeve and rash+ swelling went away. Side note I have felt "warm" since I have taken levaquin.

My question is was the swelling and rash due to the levaquin? I have worn the sleeve many times and never has this happened.
also when will levaquin be out of my system?

Thank you and sorry for the spelling

Hello, Mike! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you've had.

However, without being able to see the rash, it's difficult to say, but being only localized, I doubt it was caused by an antibiotic.

How are you doing on the new one?
