```Levaquin (levofloxacin) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that fights bacteria in the body.
Levaquin is used to treat bacterial infections of the skin, sinuses, kidneys, bladder, or prostate.
Levaquin is also used to treat bacterial infections that cause bronchitis or pneumonia, and to treat people who have been exposed to anthrax.
Fluoroquinolone antibiotics can cause serious or disabling side effects that may not be reversible. Levaquin should be used only for infections that cannot be treated with a safer antibiotic.```
