What Experts Say

Levofloxacin works by stopping bacteria from copying their DNA, which kills the bacteria causing lung, urinary tract, and skin infections.

It is usually taken once daily for five to fourteen days depending on the infection, and the full course should be completed.

Tendon pain, sudden weakness, or a fast heartbeat should be reported immediately, since fluoroquinolones carry rare but serious tendon and heart rhythm risks.
