What is Levaquin

LevofloxacinThe Generic name of this drug
Treatment SummaryLevofloxacin is an antibiotic that is 8 to 128 times more effective against both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria than the other isomer of racemic ofloxacin. It is part of the third generation of fluoroquinolones, commonly referred to as the “respiratory quinolones” due to its effectiveness against bacteria associated with respiratory infections. Levofloxacin was first approved by the FDA in 1996, and was quickly approved in many other countries after.

Effectiveness

How Levaquin Affects PatientsLevofloxacin is an antibiotic that works by stopping bacteria from reproducing. It usually only needs to be taken once or twice per day and can be effective against certain types of bacteria, like Chlamydia and Legionella. However, some bacteria can become resistant to levofloxacin due to changes in their DNA. Cross-resistance between levofloxacin and other antibiotics is unlikely because they work differently. Different areas have different bacteria, so it is important to check local antibiotic resistance patterns before taking levofloxacin.
How Levaquin works in the bodyLevofloxacin is an antibiotic that works by blocking two key enzymes in bacteria: DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. DNA gyrase helps with DNA replication and topoisomerase IV helps with cell division. Levofloxacin binds to the enzymes and stops them from working, which prevents DNA replication and cell division and ultimately kills the bacteria.

When to interrupt dosage

The advised quantity of Levaquin is contingent upon the diagnosed condition, including Pseudomonas Infections, Abscess and Therapeutic procedure. The dosage also relies on the approach of delivery, as outlined in the table below.

Major
The risk or severity of QTc prolongation can be increased when Levofloxacin is combined with Arsenic trioxide.
Levaquin Toxicity & Overdose RiskLevofloxacin has a low risk of acute toxicity. In tests, high doses of levofloxacin caused symptoms such as unsteadiness, drooping eyelids, reduced movement, difficulty breathing, shaking, and seizures. If someone overdoses on levofloxacin, they should have their stomach emptied and receive general supportive care. It is also recommended to monitor the patient's heart rhythm to make sure it is within a normal range. Dialysis is not very effective in removing levofloxacin from the body in cases of overdose.

Levaquin Reviews: What are patients saying about Levaquin?

3.3Patient Review

Levaquin for Pneumonia caused by Bacteria
I was given this medication for pleurisy and it took care of the infection. However, I was left with incredibly painful joints- to the point where I could barely walk or take stairs. I've been tested for arthritis and other conditions, but none have come back positive. It's clear to me that this drug has done serious damage, and though I'm getting better, it's a long road ahead. Thank goodness my husband is able to help care for me- otherwise I would be in a nursing home at this point.

Levaquin for Pneumonia caused by Bacteria
I was prescribed Levofloxacin 750 mg tablets for 7 days for bacterial pneumonia. I started taking the drug on a Friday and it is now Sunday. I haven't slept since I started taking this drug. After reading the reviews on here, Azithromycin seems to be much more tolerated without all the side effects.

Levaquin for Bacterial Urinary Tract Infection
I took Levofloxacin for 10 days and developed severe tendonitis a few days in. This eventually went away, but I also started having digestive issues around the same time. This led to Gastroparesis, which is a condition where your stomach can't empty properly. I don't recommend this drug at all and think it should be banned in the United States. If your doctor prescribes it, get a different antibiotic!

Levaquin for Bacterial Urinary Tract Infection
I went to the doctor with a low fever and was diagnosed with possibly having urinary tract or bronchitis. I took one pill as directed, but then had diarrhea nonstop for over a week. Now I'm just waiting for the results of a stool sample. In my opinion, this pill is too strong and has way too many side effects.

Levaquin for Bacterial Urinary Tract Infection
I was prescribed 5 pills of levofloxacin of 650 mgs each, one per day. After the third dose I developed Insomnia, hand tremors and Tendinitis. Side effects evolved and in two weeks I was no longer able to walk. I spent months on a wheelchair with an acute case of fluoroquinolone toxicity. This drug almost killed me. My life and health had completely deteriorated by this dangerous antibiotic that doctors prescribe indiscriminately.

Patient Q&A Section about levaquin

These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.

Why was Levaquin taken off the market?

"Kelsey Buckholtz, a spokeswoman for Janssen, said that they decided to discontinue Levaquin because there are a lot of other treatment options available and they want to focus on developing new medicines."

Answered by AI

What are side effects of Levaquin?

"You may experience some or all of the following side effects: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, constipation, difficulty sleeping (insomnia), dizziness, abdominal pain."

Answered by AI

What is Levaquin used to treat?

"It will not work for viral infections (such as common cold, flu).

Levofloxacin is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. This medication belongs to a class of drugs known as quinolone antibiotics. These drugs work by interfering with the production of essential proteins needed by bacteria to survive. This particular antibiotic is effective against a wide variety of bacteria. However, it is important to remember that this drug will not work against viral infections."

Answered by AI

Is Levaquin and amoxicillin the same?

"Both Levaquin and amoxicillin are antibiotics used to treat infections. Levaquin is a fluoroquinolone and amoxicillin is a penicillin. They are both used to treat infections of the lungs, airways, skin, urinary tract, and ears. The main difference between the two drugs is the conditions they are used to treat."
