How should I take Levaquin?

Levaquin tablets are taken by mouth between food intakes or before eating. The daily portion could be split into 2 doses. Pills should not be chewed. Wash them down with 0.5-1 cup of water. As we know from the school chemistry course, water is the universal solvent. In other beverages could be compounds that enter into chemical reaction with the active ingredients of Levaquin and suppress its efficacy.

Always keep identical intervals between doses of Levaquin. The main aim which you want to achieve is to maintain a constant concentration of Levaquin in the blood. Many people do not realize quite right about the multiplicity of reception. If you must take the tablets 3 times daily, it does not mean that the reception must be for breakfast, lunch and dinner. This means that reception must be performed every 8 hours; if 2 times a day every 12 hours. If once a day than you should carefully consider your usual daily routine and choose a time when you it’ll be most convenient for you to take a pill.

You can easily get the medicine in a conventional UK drugstore or buy generic Levaquin online.

What may interact with?

Taking aluminum and magnesium-containing antacids, sucralfate and Levaquin at the same time greatly weaken the efficacy of the latter. For that reason, the interval between intakes of these medications must be at least 2 hours.

When combined medicines that suppress the threshold of convulsive readiness with Levaquin, there is a significant reduction in seizure threshold; similarly in the case of quinolones.

Effect of levofloxacin could be reduced by medicines that suppress intestinal motility, antacids products containing sucralfate, magnesium and aluminum. The preparation doesn’t interact with theophylline, antidiabetic agents, NSAIDs, anti arrhythmic drugs, H2-blockers.

What should I watch for while taking Levaquin?

Levaquin must not be prescribed for healing kids and adolescents in view of chances of ruining of the articular cartilage.

If you started a course of antibiotics, do not cease it once you think you feel better. It is crucial to continue the course for 2-3 days after the recovery, as suggested by the physician. You must also monitor the effect of the Levaquin. If during 48 hours recovery is not observed, then the pathogen is resistant and Levaquin has to be replaced.

In order to make you feel better your health care provider may recommend you a special diet. Usually that means elimination of fatty, fried, smoked and canned foods, alcohol and acidic fruits. The diet includes more vegetables, sweet fruit, and white bread.

Application of Levaquin intensifies the body's sensitivity to the UV rays. As a consequence, a solarium and a long stay in the sun are contraindicated, as can easily cause sunburn.

Infrequently when using could be observed tendinitis (particularly inflammation of the Achilles tendon) that may lead to tendons rupture. Elderly people are more inclined to tendonitis.

Sick with inherited metabolism disorder can respond to fluoroquinolones destruction of red blood cells (hemolysis).

Levaquin can affect the ability to safely and confidently control a car. When you first use Levaquin, it is not a good idea to drive a car and other vehicles. As long as you do not know exactly how it works for you, it is better to avoid driving and operating any mechanisms.

Avoiding alcohol during healing is one of the basic principles in the usage of the majority of antibiotics, and Levaquin in particular, because alcohol is able to neutralize their effect.
