Yes, you can take Levaquin for strep. It is not the antibiotic of choice for strep throat. Penicillin or Macrolides are first and second choice, respectively. Levaquin is a strong antibiotic and is a bit much for treating something like strep.

Does levaquin cause anemia?
Just got back from a visit to a hematologist, after being referred by my primary care physician. The concern was a persistent mild anemia, with a count of 10.8. I also have a chronic sinus infection for which I was prescribed 24 day course of Levaquin tabs. The hematologist said that she thinks that the sinus infection along with the Levaquin, or either alone is enough to cause the anemia. She had my blood drawn to check iron levels and sedimentation rate. Hope to hear in a few days. But the take away on Levaquin is that it can cause anemia.
