What Experts Say

Levofloxacin works by blocking an enzyme bacteria need to copy their DNA, which stops the infection from spreading.

It is usually taken once daily for a set number of days, and the full course should be finished even if symptoms improve early.

Tendon pain or swelling during treatment needs immediate medical attention, since fluoroquinolones carry a rare but real tendon rupture risk.
