With 5388 patients in the marketing application dossiers and post-marketing experience of more than 130 million prescriptions of levofloxacin worldwide, the tolerability profile of this anti-infective is now well defined. During clinical trials, 12 per cent of patients treated with levofloxacin
New fluoroquinolones have been in clinical use for 10 years and have an excellent record of safety and tolerance. The main elements of their adverse reaction profile were predictable from human experience with precursor naphthyridines and quinolones, and from toxicological studies in animals. Thus
Fluoroquinolones are the commonly used antimicrobials in the treatment of urinary tract infection, bacterial diarrhea, and infections of soft tissue, bone, and joints. They may cause adverse effects ranging from gastrointestinal disturbances, headache, insomnia, and cutaneous reactions. Their rare
As a class, the quinolone antibacterials can no longer be assumed to be both effective and relatively free of significant adverse effects. Recent safety issues with newer generation fluoroquinolones, and concerns regarding drug-use associated bacterial resistance have made all drugs in this class
