To date, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has yet to issue a national recall of Levaquin, the oral and injectable antibiotic prescribed to treat serious bacterial infections. In July 2008, the FDA did announce that Ortho-McNeil-Jassen, the manufacturer of Levaquin, was now required to print “black box” warnings on all Levaquin packaging.

Black box warnings, the most serious level of FDA warnings that precede an actual recall, indicate that a drug may cause some irreversible, severe and/or potentially fatal side effects.

Patients who are injured after taking Levaquin, as well as families of deceased Levaquin patients, will likely:

• Have a legitimate defective drug claim
• Be entitled to a settlement for their injuries and losses by pursuing a Levaquin lawsuit

Injured patients should seek legal counsel from an experienced defective drug attorney who will determine if they have a legitimate and claim and qualify to seek compensation for their losses.

Levaquin Warning Results From Medication Side Effects

Prescribed in the U.S. for over 13 years, Levaquin is classified as a “fluoroquinolone antiinfective durg” and has been used in the treatment of a number of bacterial infections, including (not limited to):

• Health problems resulting from anthrax exposure
• Lung infections, including bronchitis and pneumonia
• Sinus infections, including acute bacterial sinusitis
• Skin infections, including complicated and uncomplicated skin structure infections
• Urinary tract infections

Unfortunately, Levaquin also has the potential to cause a range of side effects, including (not limited to):

• acute pancreatitis
• fatal hypoglycemia
• kidney damage
• liver failure or injury
• peripheral neuropathy
• rhabdomyolysis
• severe central nervous system (CNS) disorders
• spontaneous tendon rupture
• tendonitis and other tendon injuries
• toxic epidermal necrosis
• various vision problems, including irreversible double vision, loss of vision and or loss of color vision

Patients who sustain any severe Levaquin side effects will require emergency medical attention and, in most cases, long-term care to save their lives.
