Levaquin Lawsuit
Attorney for Tendon Rupture and Tendinitis

Contact our law firm regarding cases involving Levaquin (levofloxacin), a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. According to the FDA, use of Levaquin may lead to spontaneous tendon rupture and development of tendinitis. Achilles tendons and shoulder and hand tendons have ruptured after use of fluoroquinolone antibiotics, according to the FDA. Severe cases of tendinitis have been reported to the FDA.

Levaquin (levofloxacin) is an antibiotic in the class known as “fluoroquinolones” that is used to treat bacterial infections, including pneumonia, chronic bronchitis, sinus, urinary tract, kidney, and skin infections. Levaquin® is a registered trademark of Ortho-McNeil Pharmaceutical, Inc.

Patients who have developed tendinits or had tendon ruptures after using Levaquin have experienced severe pain and suffering and lessened mobility. These people are victims. If you are a Levaquin victim, you deserve compensation.

Depending on the facts of your case, a Levaquin lawsuit could include product liability claims against the manufacturer of the antibiotic and medical malpractice claims against your doctor and/or pharmacist.
