Breastfeeding: Levofloxacin gets into breast milk and can hurt the baby's growing joints. So, don't use it while nursing, or talk to your doctor about a safer option.

Medicine interaction:
Stay away from or use it with care:
NSAIDs, like ibuprofen, may raise the risk of seizures.
Corticosteroids (like prednisolone) may make it more likely that tendons will tear.
Antidiabetic drugs, such as insulin and glimepiride, can make blood sugar levels go up and down.
Warfarin and other blood thinners increase the risk of bleeding, so it's important to monitor your INR levels.
Antiarrhythmic medicines, such as amiodarone and sotalol, can change the way the heart beats.
Antacids or supplements that contain magnesium, zinc, or calcium can make it harder for Levoflox to be absorbed.
Tell your doctor about all the other drugs and supplements you are taking.
