warning that quinolone antibiotics can cause inflamed or ruptured tendons
September 1996
The FDA is requiring a warning that quinolone antibiotics can cause inflamed or ruptured tendons...usually in the heel, shoulder, or hand.
This is the same problem we alerted you to last year.
New cautions about this are now showing up in package inserts for ciprofloxacin (Cipro)...norfloxacin (Noroxin)...ofloxacin (Floxin)...enoxacin (Penetrex)...and lomefloxacin (Maxaquin).
