Re: [QUAD-L] levaquin adverse reactions...?

I keep 2 antibiotics on hand for UTI's. Bactrim DS and Cipro. I always take acidophilus an hour or so after any antibiotic because they tend to kill off the good bacteria with the bad stuff. Acidophilus replaces the good bacteria. Most yogurt does not contain live bacteria and is useless for this purpose. This causes stomach cramps, nausea, diarrhea, and constipation(not at the same time). Almost all antibiotics will do this.   john In a message dated 2/8/2006 2:10:49 P.M.

This is an eye-opening topic, wow, I've taken Levaquin many times over the years with no adverse reactions (knock on wood hope it stays that way!) and this is the first time I've heard of others having reactions to it.   Steph
