"Levaquin is a little expensive, however, it is well worth it. My doctor prescribes it when I get severe sinus infections, and I always feel better just after the first dose."

"I am on a five-day dose of Levaquin, and it's working, but I think that I may need to take it a little longer. I had a really bad case of sinusitis, and I can say it was worth it."
