Its working fine, finished my five day prescription. It stays in your system an additional five days I'm told.
The alternative treatments are really helping too. The supplement I'm taking contains bromelain which I've read can help the anti-biotic work more effectively. (I did some internet research)

It works for me, no side effect. But watch out for Levofloxacin, it cansupress your WBC and give you drug fever. Also be aware of Salfa base antiboitic. It can cause the blood oxygen drop, and lead to respitary failure. ( My husband were treated with Levofloxacin and then sulfa base antibiotic sulfamethoxazole and trimethoprim). He died in ICU after the medical staff trying to reverse the impact).
