Safety of Fluoroquinolones: An Update [PDF]

open access: yesCanadian Journal of Infectious Diseases and Medical Microbiology, 2002
The fluoroquinolone class of antimicrobials has been in clinical use for over 13 years. During that period, some representatives of the class have been extensively prescribed, such as ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin, while others have seen minimal use and have been restricted or withdrawn, namely, trovafloxacin and grepafloxacin.
