FDA Says Class of Strong Antibiotics Should Be Used Sparingly
On July 26, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) announced increased safety labeling requirements for a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. These types of antibiotics ' including levofloxacin (Levaquin), ciprofloxacin (Cipro), ciprofloxacin extended-release tablets, moxifloxacin (Avelox), ofloxacin and gemifloxacin (Factive) ' are used for treating severe bacterial infections. However, they come with serious potential side-effects, such as muscle, joint and nerve damage. According to the FDA, these side-effects may show up hours or days after the drugs are taken, and their effects can be permanent. Because of this, the agency advised against the use of fluoroquinolones for garden-variety infections such as acute bacterial sinusitis, acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis and uncomplicated urinary tract infections. Instead of reaching immediately for these stronger medications, the FDA says they should be used only when other treatments will not work ' the examples offered being anthrax, plague and bacterial pneumonia.
