What Experts Say

Levofloxacin works by blocking enzymes bacteria need to copy their DNA, which stops the infection from spreading and allows the body to clear it.

It is usually taken once daily for 5 to 14 days depending on the infection, and the full course should be completed even if symptoms improve early.

Fluoroquinolones carry a tendon injury warning, so any sudden tendon pain, especially in the Achilles area, needs prompt medical attention.
