Levofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, can cause serious side
effects. Some of these serious side effects
can happen at the same time and could result in death.
If you have any of the following serious side effects while you take
levofloxacin tablets, you should stop
taking levofloxacin tablets immediately and get medical help right
away.
1. Tendonruptureorswellingofthetendon(tendinitis).
•
Tendon problems can happen in people of all ages who take levofloxacin
tablets. Tendons are tough
cords of tissue that connect muscles to bones. Some tendon problems
include :
•
pain
•
swelling
•
tears and swelling of tendons including the back of the ankle
(Achilles), shoulder, hand, or other
tendon sites.
•
The risk of getting tendon problems while you take levofloxacin
tablets is higher if you:
•
are over 60 years of age
•
are taking steroids (corticosteroids)
•
have had a kidney, heart or lung transplant.
•
Tendon problems can happen in people who do not have the above risk
factors when they take
levofloxacin tablets.
•
Other reasons that can increase your risk of tendon problems can
include:
•
physical activity or exercise
•
kidney failure
•
tendon problems in the past, such as in people with rheumatoid
arthritis (RA)
•
Stop taking levofloxacin tablets immediately and get medical help
right away at the first sign of
tendon pain, swelling or inflammation. Avoid exercise and using the
affected area.
•
The most common area of pain and swelling is the Achilles tendon at
the back of your ankle. This can
also happen with other tendons. You may need a different antibiotic
that is not a fluoroquinolone to
treat your infection.
•
Tendon rupture can happen while you are taking or after you have
finished taking levofloxacin
tablets. Tendon ruptures can happen within hours or days of taking
levofloxa
