Warning on Tendon Injuries with Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics October 2008- FDA has asked that a boxed warning be added to the prescribing information for fluoroquinolone antibiotics. The warning will remind healthcare professionals that patients taking these drugs may experience an increased risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture. Fluoroquinolones include Cipro (ciprofloxacin), Factive (gemifloxacin), Levaquin (levofloxacin), Avelox (moxifloxacin), Noroxin (norfloxacin), Floxin (ofloxacin) and Proquin (ciprofloxacin hydrochloride). FDA is concerned that large numbers of tendon problems were continuing to be reported, despite a warning that already appears in the labeling for these drugs. The boxed warning is being added to draw the practitioner's attention to this information. This can also affect the benefit-risk decisions that are made when these drugs are prescribed. Certain patients are at greater risk for these injuries, including those over 60, those taking corticosteroids, and patients who have had heart, lung or kidney transplants. Certain tendons are also more likely to be affected. The Achilles is the most commonly affected, but other tendons can also be involved, including those in the rotator cuff, the biceps, the hand and the thumb. It is important to remember that the risk for injury is not necessarily gone when the drug is stopped. Cases have been reported in which tendon problems occurred up to several months after the drug was discontinued. Also, this increased risk of tendon problems applies only to patients who are getting fluoroquinolones systemically; patients taking eye drops or ear drops are not affected. Fluoroquinolones may be associated with serious risks other than tendinitis and tendon rupture. These risks are rare but may include convulsions, hallucinations, depression, heart rhythm changes, and serious allergic reactions. Since fluoroquinolones are vital drugs in treating certain bacterial infections, the practitioner may decide that the benefits of the drug outweigh the risk for a given patient. In these cases, the practitioner should caution patients to watch out for pain, swelling or inflammation in a tendon area, because that could signal tendinitis, and to know the signs and symptoms of a tendon rupture. If patients experience any of these things, they should avoid using or exercising that area of the body, stop the drug, and see their doctor about the possibility of switching to another type of antibiotic. It is important that patients understand what to look for and what to do, so FDA has asked the manufacturers of fluoroquinolones to develop a Medication Guide containing this information, which will be given to the patient with each prescription.

Bob Grozier - Quinolone Reaction Statement Those of you who know me have heard me complain for years about my health, not knowing what was wrong. From December '03 to January '04 I took a drug called Cipro which is a fluoroquinolone, and had a severe reaction which I am still struggling with. There were no warnings on the drug at the time, so I did not know what was happening to me. Since the FDA approves drugs before they are throughly tested, and drug companies are not required to contact you when there is a new safety issue, it took me years to find out what happened. This is a clip of Bob Grozier's negative reaction, WATCH THIS VIDEO. WARNING: Antibiotic fluoroquinolones (or quinolones) can cause severe nerve and tendon damage. A fluoroquinolone reaction or "floxing" (like flogging) attacks the central nervous system and is worse than a thousand bad LSD trips, worse than a thousand heroin withdrawals. A severe quinolone reaction can happen to anyone, but if you are under 165 lbs. and have low body fat, you are especially at risk.

Dangerous Drug Interaction with Zanaflex (Aug. 2007) Acorda Therapeutics recently alerted healthcare professionals about new contraindications for Zanaflex. Zanaflex (tizanidine) is used to treat spasticity. New labeling says that this drug should not be used concomitantly with either of two CYP1A2 inhibitors: fluvoxamine, which is used to treat depression and anxiety disorders, or the antibiotic ciprofloxacin. Taking either of these drugs together with tizanidine can cause dangerously elevated serum levels of tizanidine, which can lead to side effects such as severe hypotension and sedation. The company says that other CYP1A2 inhibitors may also lead to substantial increases in tizanidine blood concentrations, although there have been no clinical studies to substantiate this. Therefore, using tizanidine with other CYP1A2 inhibitors should ordinarily be avoided. These drugs include zileuton, other fluoroquinolones, antiarrythmics, H-2 blockers, oral contraceptives, acyclovir and ticlopidine. Additional Information: FDA MedWatch Safety Alert.

Insidermedicine in 60 - July 9, 2008 From Maryland - The FDA is warning that the popular class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones, which includes Cipro and Avelox, may raise the risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture. While tendon rupture is seen in about 1 in 100,000 people, use of these medicines appears to triple the risk. Most cases appear to affect the Achilles tendon. From Malawi - In developing nations, infants born to HIV positive mothers are at risk for becoming HIV positive through exposure to breast milk. According to research in the New England Journal of Medicine, use of antiretrovirals for an extended period of time can lower the risk of HIV transmission by 50%. However, with continued breast feeding, the risk of transmission remains present. And finally, back to Maryland - The FDA has approved a diagnostic test that can assist doctors in deciding when to offer Herceptin to patients with breast cancer. The test, called SPOT-Light, requires a small tissue sample from the tumor, and detects HER2 mutations which affect about a quarter of women with breast cancer. The test may eliminate the need for assays that involve the more complex FISH test. For Insidermedicine in 60, I'm Allison Chow.

Tequin Lawyers: Gatifloxacin and blood sugar problems Fluoroquinolones, such as Tequin, also known as gatifloxacin, is an oral antibiotic used to treat infection. Tequin side effects have been linked to hyperglycemia (high blood sugar) and hypoglycemia (low blood sugar); both of which are potentially fatal blood-sugar disorders.
