A member asked:

What would be another antibiotic to use other than levaquin (levofloxacin)? i had a reaction to it, so what can i do?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Depends: Depends on what type of infection you have and where it is located but if Levaquin (levofloxacin) is the only antibiotic you've had a reaction to then chances are good that there's another antibiotic that will work for you.
