Levaquin.
Levaquin (levofloxacin) is supposed to be taken only by people diagnosed with some bacterial infection, such as bronchitis, pneumonia or a number of other ones. It is not going to treat a viral infection. In some cases people taking this drug developed tendinitis – swelling and inflammation of tendon, while others had tendon rupture. The risk of getting this serious side effect is higher if the patient is older than 60. If you are older than 60 discuss this risk with your health care provider. The following serious side effects will need to be reported to your health care provider if you get them: pounding heartbeat, anxiety, chest pain, dizziness, severe diarrhea, hallucinations, pale stools, loss of appetite, dark urine, tingling or swelling, seizures, unusual bruising or bleeding, fainting, skin rash or blisters, itching, confusion, and muscle pain. In most cases, however, Levaquin is well tolerated and only a few mild side effects will be experience, including heartburn, stomach pain, diarrhea, headache, vaginal itching, constipation, nausea, vomiting, and some other ones that can be quite individual. Always make sure you tell your doctor if the mild side effects you originally had changed in intensity.
