Can Levofloxacin Be Taken Along With Prilosec And Relafin?
I am 81 have been put on a 10 day regime of levofloxacin tablets 500 mg when reading the list of possible bad side effect it concerned me. Things like irritated or torn tendons, nerve problems heart and kidney problems etc. It indicates to take these 2 hr before or 2 hr after taking other meds. I take relafin, thyroid med, diabetic meds, prilosec, something for high cholesterol and high pressure. I had a chest xray and do not have pneumonia but am congested. Should I stop taking any of these medications while taking levofloxin

Hello,
The study clearly revealed that levofloxacin and omeprazole do not undergo any kind of interactions when administered together.
So it can be concluded that these two drugs can be prescribed together to achieve optimum therapeutic activity.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
