I went to ER yesterday via ambulance because of a kidney stone. The CAT scan showed I also have a UTI. The doctor ordered Levaquin through the IV. When I passed the stone and went home, she sent a prescription for Levaquin with me. I bought the prescription but read this website before I took it. I called the doctor and she said a certain percentage of patients will be very allergic to any medication. She said I did not have any reaction to it when given the IV. The alternative was Septra, which is a sulfa drug. That has serious, sometimes fatal, side effects as well. I asked for Ceftin (a cousin to penicillin), but she said that would not get rid of my UTI. I bought the Septra, but after researching both on the Internet, I decided to go with the Levaquin. I hope I don't get any of these awful side effects this site talks about. My prescription is for 500 mg once a day for 7 days. I'll keep you posted as to whether I have any sides.
