A member asked:
Is levofloxacin an effective drug in curing strep throat or pharyngitis/ laryngitis?? thanks?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
it isn't typical treatment for strep throat but usually would work. However, the most pharyngitis or laryngitis is caused by viruses, not treated by any antibiotic. If you have a virus, this treatment won't make any difference.
