Hello,

Levaquin can be taken for 7 to 14 days depending on the symptoms.

I recommend using probiotics daily during this period.

I also recommend taking a vitamin supplement to boost immune symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi, General & Family Physician
