Levaquin (levofloxacin) is an antibiotic prescribed by doctors to treat a wide array of infections. Do not start taking any new drugs while taking Levaquin, as they can decrease its sensitivity or cause dangerous side effects. You should be especially careful with such medicines as antacids containing magnesium or aluminum, ulcer medicine, didanosine, vitamin or mineral supplements. Your doctor needs to know if you are receiving treatment for heart rhythm disorder or using such medications as amiodarone, bretylium, disopyramide, procainamide, sotalol, quinidine, as these can interfere with Levaquin.
