Patient's question:
27-year-old male, since the beginning of the year, I have felt that I have frequent nighttime urination and also frequent daytime urination. When urinating, there is a stinging sensation, and the amount of urine is not much. Also, I always feel like I can't empty my bladder completely. My lower back, waist, and lower abdomen also hurt badly. I think it might be a prostatic cyst. I ask: How is it to take levofloxacin for prostatitis?Doctor's answer:
Levofloxacin belongs to the class of quinolone antibacterial agents. It is the levo-isomer of ofloxacin and has approximately twice the antibacterial activity of ofloxacin. This product features a broad antibacterial spectrum and strong antibacterial activity, demonstrating strong antibacterial efficacy against most Enterobacteriaceae, such as Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus species, Salmonella typhi, Escherichia coli, and other genera. It is also effective against acute and chronic infections in various parts of the body, including Staphylococcus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, throat, tonsils, urinary tract (including the prostate), skin and soft tissues, gallbladder and bile ducts, middle ear, sinuses, lacrimal sac, and intestines.
