What Causes Muscles Ache And Lower Back Pain While On Medication For UTI?

I was diagnosed with a UTI and a sins infection last Sunday -six days ago. I have been taking LEVOFLOXACIN -750 MG. TABLETS once a day. I am very fatigued and my muscles ache--upper leg muscles, upperarm muscles, with a lower back pain. Is this the norm and is some of this caused by the medication?

Hi,

Yes, it is possible to experience muscle pain and joint pains after taking levofloxacin. Usually these symptoms will subside once you stope taking the medication.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
