Take all of the levofloxacin that has been prescribed for you even if you begin to feel better. Your symptoms may start to improve before the infection is completely treated.
Take each dose with a full glass of water (8 ounces). Drink several extra glasses of fluid each day to prevent the formation of levofloxacin crystals in the urine.
Do not take antacids that contain magnesium or aluminum (e.g., Tums or Rolaids), the ulcer medicine sucralfate (Carafate), or vitamin or mineral supplements that contain iron or zinc for a minimum of 2 hours before or 2 hours after a dose of levofloxacin. Taking antacids, sucralfate, or vitamin or mineral supplements too close to a dose of levofloxacin can greatly decrease the effects of the antibiotic.
