A member asked:

Please describe treatments to long term side effects of levaquin (levofloxacin)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Levaquin (levofloxacin) side effect: Most side effects are short lived and go away when you stop the medication. Most likely side effects would be upset stomach or diarhea from the change of the bowel flora (the bacteria in the gut). Good luck, hope you feel better.
