A member asked:
Does levofloxacin kill h.pylori ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not by itself: The treatment of Helicobacter pylori involves two or three drug regimens taken at the same time for 1 to 2 weeks. Although levofloxacin can be part of one of those regimens, taking it by itself does not help at all and may actually lead to resistance of the organism. See your doctor and follow his or her advice carefully. Good luck.
