A member asked:

Is it ok to take levaquin & minocycline for non-std prostatitis & uti?levaquin seems far less potent after prior use.i have been taking for 5 days.

Dr. Hunter Handsfield answered

Specializes in Infectious Disease

Unusual treatment: It would be unusual to treat prostatitis with both these drugs. But if they are going to help, 5 days is much too soon to know; there is no way you could already know that levofloxacin is "far less potent". Discuss with the doctor treating you.

Dr Hodge and another doctor agreed
