Start A Free EvaluationThe FDA Warns of a Link Between Fluoroquinolones and Aortic Dissection
At least one peer-reviewed study published in The BMJ shows an increased risk of aortic dissection or aortic aneurysm in patients who took fluoroquinolone antibiotics. This complication can lead to dangerous bleeding that requires emergency surgery and can be fatal.
Avelox and other antibiotics in the fluoroquinolone family can increase the risk of aortic aneurysm and dissection, but manufacturers never issued a warning until the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) forced them to in December 2018. The FDA updated their safety warning about fluoroquinolones, warning doctors and patients not to use these antibiotics for those at an increased risk unless there are no alternative treatment options.
Millions of People in the U.S. Take Fluoroquinolones Each Year
Fluoroquinolones are the most commonly prescribed antibiotics worldwide. While Avelox is relatively new, this family of broad-spectrum antibiotics has been available for more than 30 years. They are commonly used for respiratory and urinary tract infections. Avelox usually is prescribed specifically for the treatment of bacterial infections of the skin, respiratory system, and gut.
