A member asked:
Had case of agep after a few weeks on levaquin/clindamycin, doc said stop meds, rash improving, doc said rare-why does this type of reaction happen?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Antibiotic rash : Why? Your body generates an allergic reaction to one or both of these meds. More likely if you have taken them before. Be certain it is in your medical record. I would not take them again or related abiotics. Rare but can be deadly.
