Is Levofloxacin Effective In The Treatment Of Bacterial Infections?

I am taking levofloxacin 500 mg for a female bacterial infection. I am on my second round of the meds. I understand from my doc female bacterial infections can be persistent. I have taken 11 out of the 14 pills prescribed already. Does this antibiotic take a while to work and does it keep on working after I have taken my last pill. The results have been very slow so far.
