How Long Do Side Effects Of Levaquin Last?

Change the antibiotic, avoid flouroquinolone, get assessed
Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. Levaquin also known as levofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic and is used for mostly UTIs, pneumonia and acne vulgaris etc.
I wish you would have explained what kind of reaction it was, was it an injection site reaction or some other adverse effects which levaquin has many.
If it has been a year and the symptoms you call reaction still persist they might not be due to levaquin as discontinuation of the medicine vanishes the symptoms. If you still have problems i want you to get evaluated and let them sort out the cause as a levaquin of one year ago cant be the reason for those symptoms as it is highly unlikely.
There is the safer road to get an alternative for levaquin and any antibiotic is maximally advised for a week or two and no more.
I hope it helps. take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Thank you for getting back to me
What you had was musculoskeletal hypersensitivity to quinolones and that for sure is very Notorious reactions amongst many. It is usually common in ages less than 18 years of patients when used and only one percent people get it that after age of 18. You are that one percent.
All you symptoms are due to this musculoskeletal adverse effect of levaquine and you should know that these symptoms resolve quite gradually but they will go eventually.
