The dose of Levaquin that your healthcare provider recommends will vary depending on a number of factors, including:
- The type of infection and bacteria
- Your age and weight
- Other medical conditions you may have
- Other medications you may currently be taking.
As is always the case, do not adjust your dose unless your healthcare provider specifically instructs you to do so.
(Click Levaquin Dosage for more information.)
As with any medicine, side effects are possible with Levaquin. However, not everyone who takes the drug will experience side effects. In fact, most people tolerate it quite well. Serious side effects are less common. Some of the common side effects include, but are not limited to:
- Nausea
- Headache
- Diarrhea
- Insomnia (see Levaquin and Insomnia).
(Click Levaquin Side Effects to learn more, including potentially serious side effects that you should report immediately to your healthcare provider.)
Levaquin can potentially interact with several other medications (see Levaquin Interactions).
