Can you tell me how to heal sore joints and tendons caused by levofloxacin?

Slow: Healing after levofloxacin muscle and tendon reaction can take weeks to months. Since this antibiotic ties up magnesium at the neural and muscle endpoints, many have benefited from magnesium supplements,400mg once to twice daily. Don't get involved in any sports or heavy use of the lower extremities as Achilles and other tendon ruptures have been reported. Don't take it or ciprofloxacin like drugs
