It has been known since 1996 that Levaquin may cause serious, life altering, side effects. Yet at this time, the FDA claimed there was insufficient evidence to support the claim of harmful injuries and Levaquin was approved.

It wasn’t until 10 years later, in August 2006, that Levaquin received adequate attention for a black box warning.

FDA Issue Levaquin Warning

In July 2008 the FDA released a statement issuing a black box warning for Levaquin and other fluoroquinolene drugs. The black box warning was issued due to the research finding Levaquin and other similar antibiotics cause serious damage to users, resulting in surgery in some cases.

Black box warnings issued by the FDA are the most severe form of warning that they can issue. Black box warnings are a step below a full blown drug recall.

Levaquin Recall Information

While a Levaquin recall has not been conducted as of yet, it is possible to occur in the near future.

Levaquin has already received a black box warning by the FDA and has been linked to injuries, disorders, and tendon ruptures in thousands of people across the United States as well as other countries. Levaquin injuries are debilitating, and frequently require surgery in order to repair the damage which has been caused.

Due to the fact a Levaquin recall is yet to be conducted it may still be used. Because of this it is extremely important for the awareness of Levaquin related injuries to be raised and all cases of Levaquin injuries be reported as soon as possible.
