No: Vaginal bleeding is not a side effect of levofloxacin. However, some of the infections for which it is used can cause bleeding.

Can antibiotics make you bleed vaginally? I started levofloxacin 500mg today and started bleeding bright red blood. Is this normal? I'm worried.

As of recently, I've been masturbating often. A few days ago, I realize that I was bleeding. The blood was light, pinkish-red. My vaginal odor has been different too. But the only thing is that I see blood is when I wipe. What could be the cause?
