Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Ceftriaxone and Levaquin combination will not cause hallucination. Acute onset episode of hallucination requires further evaluation. Infections, electrolyte, and metabolic derangements should be ruled out. So please follow up with the emergency room as soon as possible.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Lekshmi Rita Venugopal
