A member asked:

How to lessen the side effects of levaquin (levofloxacin) 750?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

AT THAT DOSE: I can not think about many non potentially fatal conditions for which to take that high of a dose, for longer than 5 days or so. I would request info on why that specific antibiotic, at that particular dose.
