What Experts Say

Levofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It stops bacteria from copying and repairing their DNA, which kills them or stops them from multiplying. Doctors often run tests such as cultures to choose the right antibiotic.

Because of serious safety warnings, these antibiotics are kept for infections where other choices are not suitable. Tendon pain, numbness or tingling, or confusion during treatment should be reported straight away. Sun exposure can make skin more sensitive during treatment, so sun protection is wise.

The injection is given only by a doctor or trained provider, often in a clinic or hospital. The dose depends on the infection and kidney function, and treatment should never be extended without medical advice. Antibiotics are not helpful for colds, flu or most sore throats. People with kidney problems, older adults and those on steroids need extra caution. Diarrhea, palpitations or sudden joint pain should be reported without delay to the treating team.
