Levaquin, Cipro, and Avelox are the most commonly used fluoroquinolones, a powerful antibiotic used to treat serious bacterial infections. Cipro, approved in 1987, was the first of the three to be made available for use by doctors, soon followed by Levaquin in 1996 and Avelox in 1999. According to an IMS Health, National Prescription Audit from 2010 to 2014, over 30 million people were prescribed fluoroquinolones each year.

Our team at BCH believes that patients prescribed Levaquin, Cipro, and Avelox should be aware of the lasting impact of side effects. When patients are not informed of these or the antibiotic causes a serious and debilitating condition in the patient, they should be able to take legal action. The manufacturer should warn of all potential dangers associated with their drug. It is their duty to make sure the care of the patients is put above all else and their drug is tested for its safety.
