Are There Any Side Effects Of Taking Vzee500 And Levofloxacin?

my brother (37) is taking the following drugs - MORNING : Lahexy 10 and Lithosun 300 : NOON - Lithosun 300 :NIGHT -Lithosin 300, Sizodon Plus, and Olianz 10.



He is rapidly gaining weight, feels dizzy and weak.



He has also been suffering from bronchitis. (Medicine he takes:Vzee500 and Levofloxacin.



My question is:

1. How much time it would take him to normalcy?

2. Would the antibiotic and other medicines he is taking for Bronchitis cause conflict with his psychiatric drugs?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Antibiotic is needed for bronchitis.
But it is not the mainstay of treatment for bronchitis.
Best treatment for bronchitis is inhaled bronchodilator and inhaled corticosteroids (ICS).
So better to start inhaled treatment for faster recovery.
With antibiotic and inhaled treatment, usually he will recover in 2 weeks.
And no need to take two antibiotics (Azithromycin and levofloxacin).
In my opinion, he should take only levofloxacin because it is broad spectrum antibiotic.
No need to worry for drug interactions. Levofloxacin and inhaled treatment are safe with his current psychiatric medicines.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your brother. Thanks.
