What Causes Swelling In The Ankles And Abdomen While On Levofloxacin?
I took Act-Levofloxacin 750 mg for 7 days to treat bronchitis. The last 2 days I had swelling of the ankles and then the abdominal area. This is still occuring. It is a little better. I ve been drinking alot of water while taking this med and still am drinking water. Should I be concerned about this water retention? Thank you.
