Anybody know if Prednisone and Levaquin are a bad combination together because that is what my doctor put me on and it almost killed me. No one seems to be able to find anything written that they should not be prescribed together. Doctors and pharmacies are all saying it is fine. I have so many side effects now that I don't think I will ever be back to normal. All I had wrong was a sinus infection.

It is clearly stated in the package insert NOT to combine steroids with fluoroquinolones. The risk of an adverse reaction as well as the severity of such a reaction are greatly increased. This has been reported since 1996.
