Testing for nongonococcal urethritis can be done 7 to 10 days after stopping taking levofloxacin.
Levofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic, which is useful for treating UTI. Patients should review routine urine tests after taking it, and to ensure the accuracy of the results, tests for mycoplasma and chlamydia can be done 7 to 10 days after stopping the drug.
If you do urine routine examination immediately after stopping the drug, because at this time there are still drugs in the body, can inhibit the activity of pathogens, do the examination of urine routine results may be negative. However, as the concentration of the drug decreases, the pathogens may grow and multiply again, leading to relapse and delayed treatment of the disease.
Taking levofloxacin, after stopping the drug 7 to 10 days can do non-gonococcal urethritis test, because at this time the body of levofloxacin basically metabolized by the human body, the drug concentration is also relatively low, this time the test results will be more accurate.
