Common Uses For Levaquin

Levaquin and similar fluoroquinoline antibiotics have recently been black boxed because of the risk they pose for tendon ruptures, tendinitis, tendon damage, and other very serious side effects.

Levaquin is a powerful antibiotic which is given to patients suffering from serious bacterial infections.

Below is a list of infections Levaquin may be used to treat:

Levaquin FDA Warning Attorney

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.

Levaquin Side Effects Include Tendon Rupture

Levaquin has caused tendon ruptures, tendinitis, and other serious side effects in patients causing the FDA to issue a black box warning (as of July 2008).

Unlike other medications, the serious side effects Levaquin may cause do not always appear immediately. Levaquin related tendon ruptures, tendinitis, and other tendon disorders may appear six months or more after the antibiotic cycle has been completed.

This means that Levaquin side effects may strike at any time. Those who have used Levaquin in the past may believe they are completely healed when a sudden tendon injury strikes.

Depending on the severity of the injury, the sufferer may have to go extensive surgery to repair the tendon damage caused by Levaquin. This causes additional pain, suffering, and expense to the patient.

If you or a loved one have suffered a tendon injury due to Levaquin levoflaxacin contact McEwen Law Firm today. The suffering, pain, and damage caused by Levaquin is unacceptable, and our attorneys are dedicated to providing you with the legal support you need to receive compensation.
