1. The levofloxacin in Levoxa is absorbed quickly and almost completely. The maximum concentration in the blood is reached after 1-2 hours after administration of the drug. The state of balance in the body is reached after approx. 48 h: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/43348/levoxa-tabletki-powlekane/apteki If there is no improvement after this time, I encourage you to consult a doctor. It is also possible to use the teleadvice offered, m.in. by the Gdziepolek.pl portal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja 2. With prostatitis, 500 mg of levofloxacin (1 tablet of Levoxa) is used 1 time per day. The duration of treatment is determined by the doctor depending on m.in degree of inflammation. 3. Any drug can cause side effects. This does not mean that every patient will experience them. The precautions described in the leaflet - e.g. for Levox - refraining from excessive effort - reduce the risk of side effects of the medicine.
