Yes — Cost Plus Drugs lists Levofloxacin at roughly $0.047 per unit, a published price with no membership card or coupon involved. See the three-price comparison above for how that stacks up against discount-card pharmacies.

We found Canadian pricing for Levofloxacin starting near $0.270 per tablet in USD terms. That's before any shipping charge, which the table above breaks out separately.

Drug pricing is set separately in each country through different negotiation, regulatory, and distribution systems, so the same medication can legitimately carry different price tags on either side of the border. In this case, our data shows the US price is actually the lower of the two once a program like Cost Plus Drugs is factored in — the assumption that Canada is always cheaper doesn't hold for every drug.

Levofloxacin is the generic name for the antibiotic formerly sold under the brand name Levaquin. The branded product, Levaquin, is no longer being manufactured, so only the generic version is available on the market.

Levofloxacin is an FDA-approved generic antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone class. It is prescribed for various bacterial infections and works by inhibiting bacterial growth. It is important to note that it is ineffective against viral illnesses like the common cold or flu. Available as an oral tablet, oral solution, and intravenous infusion, the typical oral dosage is once daily, with or without food. Patients are advised to stay hydrated, separate antacid intake by at least two hours, and limit sun exposure. Completing the full course of treatment is essential, even if symptoms improve, to prevent the infection from returning.

Levofloxacin carries an FDA boxed warning, the agency's strongest safety alert, due to risks of serious, potentially irreversible side effects. These include tendonitis or tendon rupture, peripheral nerve damage, and central nervous system effects ranging from anxiety and insomnia to hallucinations. Because of these risks, fluoroquinolones like levofloxacin are reserved for infections with no suitable alternative treatments. Common side effects may involve nausea, headache, diarrhea, dizziness, or insomnia. Seek immediate medical attention for symptoms like severe abdominal pain, persistent vomiting, jaundice, dark urine, easy bruising, or signs of an allergic reaction (e.g., hives, swelling, difficulty breathing). Always discuss your full medical history and all medications with your doctor before starting treatment, as this is not a complete list of risks.
