A member asked:
Can levofloxacin cause weight loss ?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes; best avoided: Leavquin has been reported as a side effect of Levofloxacin, esp. when it also causes reduced appetite and nausea. Levaofloxacin and its cousins can cause many serious and lasting side effects. As a result I advise avoiding it if at all possible. If you're currently taking it please ask your prescribing doctor for an alternative. See http://tinyurl.com/mzt7798 and http://www.survivingcipro.com
