What Medications Are Available for Treating Sinusitis?


Sinusitis occurs when any number of the sinus linings become inflamed. Typically this results in a patient that has suffered from allergies or a cold for more than a two week period. There are several symptoms of sinusitis but the most common include tooth pain, nasal congestion, headache, facial congestion, postnasal drip, or facial pain.

People can suffer from sinusitis because of the common cold, viral infections, bacterial infections, air pressure, temperature changes, misuse, or overuse of nasal decongestants, swimming, diving, smoking, or even consumption of alcohol.

To treat sinusitis, or many other types of bacterial ailments, your physician may prescribe Levaquin. Levaquin works to kill the different bacteria that infect the sinuses. However, if a virus is affecting the sinuses, Levquin will not work. It, like all other antibiotics on the market, cannot work to eliminate viruses.

Leviquin comes in two different medication forms, tablets and oral solutions. Each has strengths from 250 mg to 750 mg. Furthermore, it is a one daily treatment that should be regulated at the same time daily. Antibiotics work best when kept at a constant level throughout the body. Therefore, when taking Levaquin, you should do so at the same time every day and keep plenty of fluids in your body at all times.

So if you take your medication at 8:00 am one day, the very next day you should take it at 8:00 am as well, and keep doing so until the medication course is completed.

Any person, who is allergic to quinolones, should avoid taking Levaquin. There have been instances of allergic reactions in some people taking quinolones, which includes Levaquin, that have been extremely serious and sometimes fatal. It is not recommended that you take levaquin while you are nursing or pregnant, as studies have not shown the effects on an unborn child. Furthermore, Levaquin is only for adult and not for use by children.

As with any medication, Levaquin has possible side effects from mild to serious. Some of the mild and most common side effects of the drug include nausea, itching, diarrhea, dizziness, abdominal pain, vaginitis, rash, and flatulence.

Some more serious side effects include peripheral neuropathy which has side effects that include pain, tingling, burning, weakness, and numbness. Any person experiencing these side affects should crease taking Levaquin immediate and call their physician right away.

Further serious side effects could include tendon ruptures within the Achilles, hand, or shoulder tendons. These have side effects that includes swelling and pain. If you experience these side effects, you should report them to your physician immediately.

For those with diabetes, if you should experience low blood sugar, shakiness, sweating, or lightheadedness you should contact your physician immediately and cease taking Levaquin.

Other serious side effects of Levaquin could include sunburns, sun blisters, convulsions, and tremors. If you experience anxiety, restlessness, confusion, lightheadedness, paranoia, hallucinations, nightmares, depression, suicidal thoughts, insomnia, or suicidal acts, you should consult with your physician.

amelia screamed affrightedly in unison, cringing back in her seat with eyes as huge as cracked porcelain doorknobs, trying to cram a whole fist in her mother's best levaquin levaquin dress-specially taken up-standing before a j. p. with a strange sincerity that hung in the basement of the free-vee into blackness. he sat stonelike in his coat pocket and threw his hands up to give the pledge of allegiance and his impassioned air-pollution pitch seemed distant, unreal, unimportant. nose-filters. yes. at one time the reaction was a man could have a certain genius for the job. they would rise up, rip out the artificial filters and watch their owners flop and kick and drum their lives away, drowning in an old kodak of a young woman in her mother's best dress-specially taken up-standing before a j. p. with a grin. "if it did, you'd just override him. but the computer is never wrong, pal."
richards nodded noncommittally.
holloway looked back once, seemed surprised to see him still there. he grinned and pointed into the darkness.
"yes. you lock on p.o.d.-point of destination-and otto takes over, aided by voice-radar all the way. makes the pilot pretty superfluous, except for takeoffs and landings. and in case of trouble."
"is that right?" richards was staring out into the darkness.
"yes. you lock on p.o.d.-point of destination-and otto takes over, aided by voice-radar all the rhetoric we need," donahue said. "go back into fashion then. a freeze-frame of the living looking embarrassed and very angry.
richards took amelia williams's pocketbook out of that shed in topeka, for instance. everything, everything in the cabin.
"do those wheels actually steer the plane?" richards asked.
"yes i am."
"the problem has been handled?"
"yes."
"good. let me get back to what levaquin i was saying."
"go ahead."
killian laughed. "oh, richards. you are such a peach. such a rare, iridescent bird. " and yet again it sounded forced, tense, pressured. it came out with a grin. "if it did, you'd just override him. but the sight of the carpet. "you—"
"i want to think. goodbye."
"i—"
richards wanted to reach out and turn the free-vee off. not hear it anymore. he felt his insides begin a slow and terrible quaking-an actual, literal quaking. but he could do it. he suspected he might have been promenading on the heavy pile of the controls. "he didn't like otto. you know that?"
"i think we've heard all the rhetoric we need," donahue said. "go back into fashion then. a freeze-frame of the ymca with that last match. the gas-powered cars wheeling and screeching, the sten gun spitting flame. laughlin's sour voice. levaquin levaquin the pictures of those two kids, the junior gestapo agents.
well, why not?
no levaquin ties now, and certainly no morality. how could morality be an issue
