NSAIDs
NSAIDs may increase the risk of central nervous system stimulation problems due to
Levaquin. These problems include
seizures, tremors, restlessness,
anxiety, lightheadedness, confusion, hallucinations, paranoia,
depression, nightmares,
insomnia, and suicidal thoughts or acts. Check with your healthcare provider before taking Levaquin with an NSAID.
Oral Typhoid Vaccine
Antibiotics (including Levaquin) may decrease the effectiveness of the oral
typhoid vaccine. If you have taken Levaquin recently or are currently taking Levaquin, your oral
typhoid vaccine may need to be postponed for at least a day after taking Levaquin.
Quinapril
Quinapril can bind to Levaquin in the digestive tract, preventing it from being absorbed into the bloodstream. Separate your Levaquin dose and quinapril by as much time as possible (by two hours at the very least).
Sevelamer
Sevelamer can bind to Levaquin in the digestive tract, preventing it from being absorbed into the bloodstream. Separate your Levaquin dose and sevelamer by as much time as possible (by two hours at the very least).
Sucralfate
Sucralfate can bind to Levaquin in the digestive tract, preventing it from being absorbed into the bloodstream. Separate your Levaquin dose and sucralfate by as much time as possible (by two hours at the very least).
Theophylline
Other antibiotics similar to Levaquin may increase the level of
theophylline in your blood. Although this interaction has not been reported with Levaquin, your healthcare provider may want to monitor the level of theophylline in your blood, just to be safe.
Vitamins With Aluminum, Magnesium, Calcium, Zinc, or Iron
Aluminum, magnesium, zinc,
calcium, and iron can bind to Levaquin in the digestive tract, preventing it from being absorbed into the bloodstream. Separate your Levaquin dose and any products that contain these minerals by as much time as possible (by two hours at the very least).
