Consider generic ciprofloxacin. It’s a similar antibiotic to Levaquin (levofloxacin), often significantly cheaper. Walgreens and other pharmacies usually stock it. Check their price and compare it directly to Levaquin’s price.
Other Antibiotic Alternatives
Depending on your infection, your doctor might prescribe other antibiotics like azithromycin (Zithromax), doxycycline (Vibramycin), or amoxicillin. These drugs have varying costs; some are available as generics, lowering the price. Always discuss potential alternatives with your physician to ensure the appropriate treatment for your specific condition.
Factors influencing cost include your insurance coverage, pharmacy location, and the specific drug formulation (e. g., tablets versus injections). Always check your insurance plan’s formulary to understand your out-of-pocket expenses. Comparing prices at different pharmacies can also yield savings.
