Re: levaquin

I have taken levaquin before, but did not have any problem with it. If your body is not use to taking an antibiotic, it is pretty common to develop a yeast infection as a result. It is called a reaction to the medication. You must drink plenty of water while on any antibiotic. My advice is to call your doctor to let him/her know that you now too have an yeast infection.
