Treatment of Nonbacterial Prostatitis
Although prostatitis may be nonbacterial, oftentimes doctors will treat it with antibiotics, such as levofloxacin, to assure that bacteria is not the underlying cause of symptoms. Some patients with nonbacterial prostatitis may actually improve with the use of antibiotics; however, prolonged use of these types of drugs in the absence of proven infection or symptom improvement is not recommended by doctors.
Researchers believe that data in the medical literature on the use of levofloxacin for nonbacterial prostatitis is quite limited. It remains to be seen how effective certain types of antibiotics, such as levofloxacin, are in the treatment of this prostate disorder. In Urology, Levaquin was reported to be one of the more popular antibiotics used for nonbacterial prostatitis. Overall, treatment of nonbacterial prostatitis is challenging and treatment failures are very common.
