My Husband Has Pneumonia And Has Been Prescribed Levifloxicin. We

My husband has pneumonia and has been prescribed Levifloxicin. We are concerned with the side effect of a possible ruptured tendon as he is a serious athlete. Is there a different antibiotic that will work for bacterial pneumonia but which does not have this side effect?
