Avatar n tn Careful with Levofloxacin. Sometimes the side effects aren't worth the benefits. I took Levofloxacin to cure a bout of pneumonia. Sure enough, the infection cleared up, but my joints ached so bad I could not raise my arms to take a shower, put my clothes on, bend to tie my shoes, get in and out of a car quickly. Strength training and jogging was out of the question for a month.
Avatar f tn night sweats. My doctor diagnosed me with pneumonia and prescribed levofloxacin. Levofloxacin was taken from 02/24 to 03/02. I was supposed to be ovulating from 02/23 to 03/01, peak time being around the 28th. My period was due on 03/14 and it still has not arrived. I have taken two pregnancy tests which came out negative. I haven't had sex since March of 2013 but my significant other and I messed around on 03/05 and I grinded naked along his private area where there was some pre-***.

Avatar m tn A month long chest infection has developed into Pneumonia. After earlier courses of Amoxicillin, then Zithromax, upon determining Pneumonia I have been prescribed Levaquin, a much stronger antibiotic; But the Levaquin costs $ 264, which I can not afford. Is there a comparable antibiotic I can take that is more reasonably priced?
Avatar n tn Is 500 mg of Levofloxacin every 48 hours suppose to make a 70 year old diabetic dialysis patient drowsy, fatigued, emotionally disturbed, and delirious? Is it okay to stop the continuing dosage after seeing the affects of the first dose?

Avatar f tn I went and saw a different doctor who from the symptoms (no exam)thought it may be epidymitis and prescribed levofloxacin along with another urine sample. I have been on the levofloxacin for 5 days now and the testicle ache has gone and come back, along with the irritation under the head. Still no discharge excepting during one bowel movement.
Avatar f tn Do you think 8-10 days of Azithromycin is adequate if it actually is only his throat, and not pneumonia? (Or even if it is pneumonia and the doctors just won't give him anything else).
Avatar n tn After the first few they were already giving me breathing troubles, so they dropped me to an even lower dose to start and built up slowly over time. At the beginning of this year/end of last year, however, I ended up with pneumonia/atelactasis, after starting to be treated with ceftin for a sinus infection. The hospital ended up putting me on Augmentin, but after a week that was making no progress (sorry, I don't recall the mg for the z-pac, ceftin, or augmentin).
Avatar m tn I still had lower abdominal pain so i booked an appointment to an STD clinic, they did a test for chlamydia, gonorrhoea , ureaplasma, mycoplasma genitalium but everything came back negative. I also had a vaginal culture which showed Klebsiella pneumonia and got cefuroxime for that. Between the testing and the last antibiotic was 4,5 weeks.

Avatar f tn Since being off Levaquin for the past few months, I have had chronic bronchitis and pneumonia since. My muscles and body is in agony. I now have to use oxygen all the time, day and night. The recovery times from surgeries are greatly extended now. I'm having another back surgery in a few weeks.

Avatar m tn I posted here because I was curious if anyone knew about fluoroquinolone resistance in C. Trachomatis (levofloxacin vs. ciprofloxacin, bacteriostatic or bactericidal effects), or anything along those lines. For anyone reading this in a similar position, I followed up with my urologist over the phone, who advised that a recurrence of swelling and pain after d/c'ing antibiotics is typical with epididymitis and a NSAID like ibuprofen should be all that's needed.
Avatar f tn I was given levofloxacin and muprocin for what was told a skin infection in my nostril and left ear. I had seen a hard white ridge of skin in my nose and started feeling like i had the flu two weeks ago. He rushed me, didn't tell me what kind it was and hasn't called me. I took my fourth of seven pills last night and still have flu like symptoms.
Avatar n tn Dear Doctor, I am a 36 year old asthmatic woman and I take 250 seretide evohaler 2 puffs twice daily. I got pneumonia 2 months ago (end of August) and I still feel tired, no energy. Do you think I would be strong enough for the swine flu (H1N1) vaccine, or should I wait until I have made a full recovery? Thanks.
Avatar n tn A second dose is recommended for people 65 years and older who got their first dose when they were younger than 65 and it has been 5 or more years since the first dose.
Avatar f tn Go potty after intercourse. Some people are more prone to UTI's I get them after intercourse if I don't go potty afterwards.for chlamydia. Oflaxacin/Levofloxacin for you and your partner. Abstain from intercourse for 7 day's during treatment of chlamydia.
Avatar f tn However, if you think you may have difficulty remembering to take a pill at the same time every day for 7 days, you should ask for a single dose treatment. The trade off is that the single dose regimen may be slightly more expensive. The two recommended treatment regimens are considered to be equally effective. The alternative regimens may be necessary in some individuals but two are more expensive (Oflaxacin/Levofloxacin), and the third (Erythromycin) may be less effective.
