Worked pretty good for me. 39 yr old male with severe ear infection 1 500mg pix a day x 10 days. Some sweating, very tired and became angry easily. It did however clear up all infection. Would use again if needed.
within 5 minutes I had a headache that stopped only after I stopped the iv thereapy 3 days later.
Was put on this drug for a very bad infection in my colon. The first night I took it I couldn't sleep and had wierd dreams. I started taking it earlier until I was taking it mid-morning and then it didn't effect my sleep as much. It is a powerful drug that works but, take it earlier in the day with food and DRINK LOTS OF WATER! It worked for me and saved me from a hospital stay.
Was put on 750 mg for bacteria infection in my throat(felt like strep). Slight insomnia first 2 nights. Having problem in back of my heel. Also my skin hurts on my back and side. I have a slight twitch in my eye also. Taking last pill today .Just thankful my throat isn't sore anymore and that I did not have some of the other serious side effects other people worte about
Using Levaquin is VERY effective for me because I cannot take Penicillin. My stomach is sensitive-and I take Leviquin with 'some' food to avoid an upset stomach.
I've used this product 3 times in the last several years because of severe sinus issues; whether it was severe allergies- (lasted over 2 months-OTC products didn't help), or a 'slight' to painful sinus infection.
Outrageous mucous production in my throat and sinus' prevented me from going anywhere-and using Levaquin eased my 'symptoms' in 2 days!! 10 tablets, 500mg for 10 days left me with MY life back to normal.
I'm aware of the 'tendon' warnings, but I have no issues with this...and I take many Rx medications for my stomach and other health problems; so no interactions.
I DO highly recommend this drug, Levaquin, when needed for dibilitating sinus problems-whether allergies that won't clear with OTC drugs (3 months? That's a LONG time!), or outrageous mucous production (clear, slightly colored, AND temporary-parts of the day-deep colored, and thick mucous.
Talk always to your doctor first, but this drug saved me in TWO days after MONTHS of torture!
USED TO KILL BACTERIA IN LUNGS AS A RESULT OF COPD AND LOWERED IMMUNE SYSTEM ( THIS CONDITION EXISTED WHEN EXPOSED TO COLDS)BEFORE THIS DRUG I USED CIPRO BUT THIS WAS NOT ALLWAYS EFFECTIVE PREDISONE USED 10 MLG DAILY THIS IS INCREASED AS NEEDED OF NOTE IS MY TRIPS TO THE HOSPITAL FOR NEEDED CARE FOR COPD HAS BEEN ELIMINATED
Used this to treat severe sinus infection. Found it to work very well. I'm happy with my treatment with it.
treated for diverticulitis.Felt better within 48 hours. Like just taking 1x per day.
This medication also jas made me very nauseated so now I split the pill and take half in the morning and half at night, both times with something to eat or a large glass of milk. I have been given this several times, but today I took the entire pill in the late afternoon and now I can't sleep! I will have to rememeber to not take a large dose at night!
The joint and body aches are horrible. I'm in my thirties and feel like I'm one hundred.
Seven days ago I went to see a specialist b/c I have now had 3 colds in the last 2-3 months. I have a simple sinus infection and was given Levaquin for 10 days - 3 extra days to the usual 7-day treatment 'just to make sure'. The medication took effect immediately and everything seemed to be clearing up but now 7 days into it I am still very nasal-y, and blowing my nose constantly. I am definitely going to take the last 3 days of pills but I have a feeling its not going to knock it out completely. I did not have any side effects from this drug and I definitely like the idea of one pill a day - my Dr. also recommended I take acidophillus with it every day so as to stave off yeast infections...highly recommend using it as I have not had any problems.
PSA test before taking was 5.24 - after taking one 750 tablet each day for 21 days my PSA test result was 1.22. Only side effects were a tinny taste in my mouth, minor muscle soreness and a slight swelling in ankles. A small price to pay vs the prospect of possibly having prostrate cancer!
