Levaquin Lawsuit
If you have been injured as a result of the dangerous drug Levaquin, you may be eligble for compensation and should contact an attorney who specializes in product liability litigation and dangerous drug litigation against pharmaceutical companies. Levaquin (levofloxacin) is an antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections in many different parts of the body. It does not work for viral infections (for example, the common cold). Levaquin is approved for the inhaled form of anthrax after an individual has been exposed. Safety and efficacy in pediatric patients and adolescents less than 18 years of age have not been established.
