Hello everyone, I've recently been prescribed Levoflox/d5w 500mg/100ml Inj, 100ml for a severe bacterial infection. I'm curious to know if anyone else has experience with this medication and what side effects they may have encountered. The list of potential side effects is extensive, and I'm feeling a bit overwhelmed. It's given as an injection, so I'm wondering if anyone can share their experience with that process. How long did it take to see improvements? Did you encounter any of the more serious side effects? Thanks in advance for your input!

I was prescribed Levofloxacin 250mg for a severe sinus infection. It worked wonders and I'm so grateful, but the side effects were no joke. I had awful stomach pain and even saw some light-colored stools which was really unsettling. After some Googling, I realized these were potential signs of liver problems. But then again, some people have no side effects! What's anyone else's experience been? How do we know when to push through and when to call the doctor?
