Is levaquin a good treatment for malaria aquired in mexico, acapulco.?
Answer:
To treat malaria, you can take quinine sulfate alone for 3 days, but it is more commonly used in one of three different combinations:
Quinine sulfate plus doxycycline or tetracycline is taken for 7 days.
Quinine sulfate plus pyrimethamine-sulfadoxine is taken as a single dose of three tablets.
Quinine sulfate plus clindamycin is taken for 3 days.
Levaquin is none of those.

Levaquin is very, very bad. It's side effects can cause irreversible damage, like shin splins or tendon injuries. Don't take it! Do some research on Levaquin - it's side effects.
Err... no, but it is used for typhoid.
It's a type of antibiotic, and not in the class recommended for malaria treatment or prophylaxis (the only one I know which is, is Doxycycline).
