what are the sideeffects of levofloxacin for 80 years old heart patient?

Answer 1

Levofloxacin is an antibiotic used for pretty substantial infections, so most doctors won't prescribe it without good reason, and it may be used to prevent infections, particularly in cardiac patients. Here are the major side effects:

Nausea, stomach ache, loss of appetite, diarrhea, drowsiness, dizziness, headache, trouble sleeping, sun sensitivity, joint/muscle pain/swelling, chest pain, change in the amount of urine, dark urine, easy bruising/bleeding, fainting, fast/irregular heartbeat, mental/mood changes (e.g., suicidal thought or severe depression), numbness/tingling, persistent nausea/vomiting, persistent sore throat or fever, seizures, unusual fatigue, yellowing eyes and skin.
This medication may rarely cause a severe intestinal condition (pseudomembranous colitis) due to a resistant bacteria

Hope this helps! :)

I will never let an 80 year old person take a quinolone antibiotic the most serious side effects can happened to them tendon rupture or neropaty this antibiotic can cause more heart problems about 60 to 70 percent of people that take quinolone end up with some kind of injury tendon damage or rupture and older people are more susceptible to this joint pain cartilage damage mental problems irritability including death for more information on any search engine (Type Quinolone or levofloaxacin Victims) and you will see that there are better and safer antibiotics and even cheaper the doctor that prescribe this is a ignorant person get another one
