Levofloxacin hydrochloride does not delay menstruation. This medication is an antibiotic primarily used to treat inflammation, such as urinary tract infections and intestinal infections. It generally does not affect menstruation, menstrual cycle, or menstrual flow. Menstrual delay is usually caused by factors such as ovarian dysfunction or pregnancy. If menstruation is delayed, it is recommended that patients seek timely medical evaluation and treatment.
