Fluoroquinolone (Levaquin)

On July 8, 2008 the FDA notified the makers of fluoroquinolone anti-microbial drugs of the need to include a black box warning detailing the increased risk of developing tendonitis and tendon rupture.

Read the full FDA warning now.

Fluoroquinolone drugs such as Levaquin are used to treat bacterial infections that cause bronchitis, pneumonia, chlamydia, gonorrhea, urinary tract infections, and infections of the prostate. The risk of developing tendonitis or tendon rupture as a result of a fluorquinolone drug is increased in individuals over the age of 60.
