Doctor gave me Levaquin for sinusitis... Is this safe? |
Doctor gave me Levaquin for sinusitis (500mg each 10 days). I read all these horrible stories about this antibiotic. People tendon ruptured from taking this... Anybody know anything about this prescription? Is it ok if I go to the gym to exercise and get some work-out done while taking this medication? btw... this is for Chronic Sinusitis not sure levaquin is an antibiotic...it should be fine. if you have any side effects you should talk to your doctor. ask the pharmacist what to look for when you pick it up and take it for a couple days before you make any decisions about it. I wouldn't go work out for the first couple days, just to see how it makes me feel.... The tendon ruptures are only a concern with children. It also appears to be a very, very rare side effect. I wouldn't worry about it. Just remember to take it on an empty stomach, and you'll be fine. Want a nice piece of advice??? While it causes a lot of orthopedic injuries in beagle puppies, it's quite safe (though certainly not 100%) in adult humans. And it has a good profile in terms of its activity against the organisms usually found in the upper airways, though its usefulness in chronic sinusitis is pretty limited. In any case, chronic sinusitis has no generally successful treatment protocol and has to be individualized, so it's hard to make any sweeping statement. This seems like an awfully stong antibiotic for sinusitis. Don't worry about tendon rupture. The stories that you are hearing are refering to people who took the medcation long term. Months at a time for major illnesses or diseases. Like I said, this is a MAJOR antibiotic. Be sure to take it for the full course, even if you begin to feel better. Stopping early could potentially cause your bacterial infection to become antibiotic resistant. This should definantly kicj your sinuses in the butt! Good luck, hope you feel better. |
