Levaquin
Levaquin (levofloxacin) is an antibiotic used to treat a variety of different infections in adults, including: Sinus infections , Bronchitis, Pneumonia, Skin infections, Urinary tract infections, Kidney infections and Prostate infections.

Levaquin is also approved to prevent infection after exposure to inhaled anthrax in adults and children. Levaquin is approved for treating the infections listed above only when they are caused by certain types of bacteria. Not all bacteria will respond to Levaquin. Also, bacteria have different resistance patterns in different regions of the country. This means that some bacteria may be susceptible to Levaquin in certain parts of the country but not in others.
Levaquin is completely ineffective for treating viral illnesses (such as the common cold or the flu).

Levaquin is a "broad spectrum" antibiotic, which means it is effective against a wide variety of different types of bacteria. It is often used to treat an infection while tests are being done to see which antibiotics are effective for treating a specific infection. If the results of such tests show that an antibiotic with a narrower spectrum of activity will be effective, your healthcare provider may choose to switch you to such an antibiotic. Doing so may help limit antibacterial resistance, since overuse of broad spectrum antibiotics may increase the risk of developing bacteria that are resistant to medications.
