High-dose birth control pills, by virtue of their high estrogen content, can cause fibroids to grow larger. Low-dose birth control pills, in contrast, leave circulating estrogen levels the same (or reduced) and do not stimulate fibroid growth. Symptoms. Most women with uterine fibroids have no symptoms, but some do.
Some three days after the encounter I started taking antibiotics for strep throat. First amoxicillin for a week or so, but since it wasn't being very effective, the doctor switched to Levofloxacin, which I took for 2 more weeks.
Levofloxacin is also used to prevent anthrax (a serious infection that may be spread on purpose as part of a bioterror attack) in people who may have been exposed to anthrax germs in the air. Levofloxacin is in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. It works by killing bacteria that cause infections.
