http://www.medications.com/effect/view/31690 On June 17, 2008 I had an emergency appendectomy. They put me on Levaquin in the recovery room. By the time I got to my room I was covered in a horrible red itchy rash--I layed there scratching like a squirrel for hours.

Please have your dr mark you chart that you have an allergy to this family of drugs.
