Question : I stated Levequin a week ago for a sinus infection. Within a couple of days, I suddenly developed a rash on the entire end of my penis. I just completed the 7 day course of Levequin. Could the antibiotic have caused the problem -can't ID any other cause. If it did, how long will it take the rash to go away?

Hi and thanks for this query.

Yes, rash is a possible side effect of levaquin. If you have never taken levaquin before, this is probably the cause. However, I will like to review the images of this rash to rule out any possible infectious causes.
