Levaquin Injury Claim - (Levofloxacin)
Levaquin Drug Defect Claim
Levaquin is a powerful antibiotic that comes in pill and injection form. Levaquin is commonly used to treat bacterial infections in the urinary tract, lungs, sinuses, and skin. This drug is a broad-spectrum antibiotic and is predominantly prescribed for use by adults. Manufactured by Ortho-McNeil-Janssen Pharmaceuticals, this drug has dangerous side effects that have recently been discovered by the FDA. Many consumers of Levaquin have developed serious personal injuries, including tendon ruptures and tendon tears. The Achilles' tendon of the heel has been known to rupture in a high number of users, as well as tendinitis in the foot, shoulder, and hand. Tendons are the tough tissues that connect muscles to bones.
If you have taken Levaquin and developed pain, stiffness, and swelling in your joints, or have sustained a tendon rupture or tear, it is critical to contact a
drug recall injury lawyer at Schultz Legal Group immediately. It is also suspected that Levaquin can cause serious neurological side effects, including damage to the motory and sensory nervous system. Consumers should be wary that a complete understanding of the dangerous side effects associated with Levaquin is ongoing. If you experience any of these symptoms contact your doctor and a drug recall injury lawyer as soon as possible.
While Levaquin is similar in prescription to the drug Cipro, Levaquin is the more powerful of the two medications. Strong medications with probability of dangerous side effects must have clear warnings on the label. This is one reason why the FDA required Levaquin to amend its warning label to include these dangerous side effects.

Ultimately these concerns will lead to medical expenses associated with treatment for Levaquin injuries. Drug companies have a strict responsibility to design and manufacture medications that are safe from serious side effects and that do not cause unreasonable risk to consumers.
