What Causes Severe Nausea After Taking Levaquin?
I was on 750mg of Levoquin.............2 days IV and then 5 days p.o. I finished my dose yesterday, but I am still severely nauseated. I was being treated for pneumonia. About how long can I expect to be feeling so awful? Thank you so much for your time. Sorry..........I should have known that Nothing is free. I do not have the funds to pay. Thanks anyway. I am a retired RN and my husband has some health issues........... we have both worked hard all of our lives., but I just can t afford additional expenses right now. Have a good day! Thanks

Hello,
Most probably it is due to severe gastritis secondary to acid reflux.
As a first line management, you can take antiemetic along with antacids like domperidone-pantoprazole for symptomatic relief. Avoid spicy foods to prevent exacerbated symptoms.
If symptoms persist better to consult a gastroenterologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
