Zithromax to Levoquin: Safe Timeframe & Potential Risks

You should wait at least 14 days after finishing a Z-Pak (azithromycin) before starting Levoquin (levofloxacin). Both Zithromax and Levoquin are antibiotics that belong to the same class of drugs, called macrolides. Taking them together can increase the risk of side effects, such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea.

It's important to follow the instructions provided by your doctor when taking antibiotics. If you have any questions or concerns about your medication, be sure to talk to your doctor or pharmacist.
