What Causes Bleeding During Urination After Taking Levaquin 500?
Question: hi i have an uti for a week taking Leviquin 500 started to bleed when i urinate
Brief Answer:
How often have you seen blood in your urine?
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you so much for this query.
I am so sorry to hear about this blood in your urine that you have reported. This must be troubling and more so because you are almost getting done with the medications. I will like to know for how long you have been witnessing this? Unless it is persistent, I will not want to investigate further. Also, do you still see your periods and when is the next period due? Try to make sure this might not be the beginning of your periods.
For now, I recommend you continue with the current medication. It is a good drug for UTI and unless it is an atypical germ, most of these infections are well treated using this drug. In addition, drink much water to help cleanse the urinary passages.
I hope to hear from you on the above questions. I wish you well and feel free to ask for more information and specifications if need be.
