FDA calls for urgent warning on tendon risks

WASHINGTON (AP) - Drug safety officials Tuesday imposed the government’s most urgent safety warning on Cipro and similar antibiotics, citing evidence that they may lead to tendon ruptures, a serious injury that can leave patients incapacitated and needing extensive surgery.

The Food and Drug Administration ordered makers of flouroquinolone drugs _ a potent class of antibacterials _ to add a prominent “black box” warning to their products and develop new literature for patients emphasizing the risks.

However, FDA officials stressed that many of the serious injuries appear to be preventable if patients stop taking the drug at the first sign of pain or swelling in a tendon, call their doctor, and switch to another antibiotic.
