Levaquin Tendon Rupture Warning
August 1, 2008
Filed under Drug Recalls, Levaquin
Levaquin and other fluoroquinolenes, including Cipro, have been issued a black box warning by the FDA. The black box warning is the highest warning level the FDA can issue regarding a drug, second only to a full blown drug recall.
Fluroquinolenes such as Levaquin and Cipro are strong antibiotics used to treat serious bacterial infections. Unfortunately, these antibiotics have also been linked to serious tendon ruptures, tendinitis, and tendon disorders. These tendon injuries may be so serious they leave the patient incapacitated and/or requiring extensive surgery.
