If Levaquin has all these side effects why do the Doctors give this medication to patients?? My Doctor give me 5 samples and are to be taken once a day. I have osteoarthritis etc. and had a cold plus I had a bladder infection, should I be taking Levaquin??

Absolutely not! Just refuse it and tell your doctor you want something else. There are other safer choices. Also, drink cranberry juice and eat yogurt or take pro-biotics to help with your bladder infection. Good luck!

If I were you,l would not take it. There are just too many side effects. I would ask for something else like penicillin if you are not allergic.
