Having bacterial prostatitis. had antibiotics (levof 500 mg) and xatral course for one month. how long do i have to take these medicines?

Depends: This might be long enough; it depends on your situation but 4-6 weeks is typical. If you have had recurrent infections then your doctor might want you to treat for a longer length of time.
