Will Taking Levofloxacin Be Safe For Bladder Infection?
I have an infection in my bladder and I am currently taking levofloxacin for 7 day treatment and I am on day 6 and it has gotten a little but better but not near a 100%. I have the urge to masturbate but that doesn't feel right either? What should I do?
