A study looks at Levaquin to treat otitis media. Flea is disgusted at the study:
Of course Levofloxicin kills bacteria that cause ear infections! It’s a friggin’ sledgehammer! What will happen now is that a pleasant-tasting quinolone treat will be formulated shortly. Then we fleas will start dispensing it like Pez candies. Shortly thereafter we will face an epidemic of quinolone-resistant organisms.Folks, 80% of acute ear infections resolve without antibiotics. Flea is unimpressed that Levo killed 88% of the bugs it got poured on. If it killed fewer than 80%, that would be news.
