Levaquin is a popular antibiotic given to patients to treat severe infections. This may include kidney infections, respiratory infections, or any other severe type of bacterial infection.
Levaquin has been popularized on the market since 1996 in 500mg – 750mg oral doses. Unfortunately, as early as 1986 doctors and manufacturers of Levaquin have known of the serious side effects fluoroquinolines may cause.
In 2004 private and nonprofit organizations began petitioning for Levaquin to receive an adequate warning depicting the serious damage fluroquinolines may cause. Now, in 2008, Levaquin and other similar drugs have received a black box warning by the FDA.
Levaquin is known to cause tendon ruptures, tendonitis, and serious tendon damage in patients. This damage often requires surgery, or may be irreversible.
