Is Levofloxacin Related To Penicillin?
Good morning. I just had surgery on Friday and have been prescribed an antibiotic called Levofloxacin. I am allergic to penicillin and wanted to make sure that this drug is no way related to penicillin before I take it. I have taken Cipro in the past with no problems. Thank you! Janet

Hello,
Levofloxacin is a floroquinolone antibiotic and does not contain any penicillin. I suggest to use it without any worry.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
