Levaquin is what left me absolutely crippled with Tendonitis! Even my Pulmonologist said the Dr who prescribed it for me in the Hospital hadn't read my drug allergy profile and apologised for him. My PCP had to backtrack from telling me that the Tendonitis was specific to Cipro when the FDA issued the warning about that class of drugs.
As far as the daily ERY - TAB - My Pulmonologist said there had been a study that this regimen had lessened exacerbations and that's why she prescribed it for me. I personally don't have too much faith in that theory and won't start it again when I'm through with the Clarithromycin. Having had a C-Difficile infection at one time, I'm a bit leary of too many antibiotics.
