I have been prescribed Levaquin (500mg pill once a day) for an ear infection. I am also a recreational marijuana user. Is it problematic to use marijuana while on Levaquin (other than the normal risks of each substantance individually)?

Dr. Joshua’s Answer:

I don’t know of any direct interactions between levofloxacin and marijuana, but I recommend that you do not use any recreational drugs or illegal substances, especially with other medication. Make sure you do not neglect to take the prescribed medication exactly as the doctor ordered.?
