Hello
Levoflox is listed as Category 3 regarding pregnancy--that means there are no reported instances of problems in humans but there was fetal damage reported in animals. If her gynecologist was OK with the antibiotic, it should be fine for her to take it, but, if she were my patient, I would have prescribed amoxicillin instead
