does levaquin cure grp a strp throat

[caregiver222]

Do not take Levaquin for a sore throat. The drug is a class called fluoroquinalones, and the side effects may include anything from aches and pains for months to tendon rupture. If a fluoroquinalone is prescribed Cipro has far fewer side effects.

Strep throat is caused by Group A beta-hemolytic streptococci (Streptococcus pyogenes). Penicillin(s) are generally prescribed in the treatment of strep throat. If your medical provider has ordered Levaquin I assume there are good reasons. Allergy to penicillin??

Levaquin is an effective ATB . Levofloxacin (trade names Levaquin (US), Tavanic (EU), and others) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone drug class.

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.

Hope this is helpful. Sorry I'm tardy with my response.
