General & Family Physician 's  Response
Thank you for your query.
You should give a gap of two hours between the medications. Aldactone affects the absorption of levofloxacin .
Take levofloxacin at 10pm. Alcacitron before 8pm or after 12am.
Hydrate yourself well.
Please get back for any further clarification.
Wish you good health
