Levaquin (levofloxacin) is a Fluoroquinolone Antimicrobial Drug used by adults as a lung, sinus, skin and urinary tract infection treatment. Levaquin, manufactured by Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceutical, was issued a Black Box Warning by the FDA on July 8, 2008 in order to inform patients about the increased risk of developing tendonitis and tendon ruptures. The FDA has stated that tendon rupture can occur during or after completion of the use of Levaquin; cases occurring up to several months after completion of taking the medication have been reported.

The following are a list of symptoms that you may be experiencing:

  • Tendinitis

  • Tendon Rupture

  • Achilles tendon

  • Other tendon disorders

The risk of tendonitis or tendon rupture is increased in patients taking Levaquin who are over the age of 60, patients who are heart, kidney or lung transplant recipients and patients who are using concomitant steroid therapy. Pain, swelling, inflammation, and tears of tendons including the Achilles, shoulder, hand, or other tendons can happen in patients taking Levaquin. Signs or symptoms of a tendon rupture can include a snap or pop in the tendon area, bruising right after and injury to the tendon area or inability to move the affected area or bear weight. The warning for patients using Levaquin applies to any usage of the drug in tablet, capsule or injectable formulations.
