Fluoroquinolone antibiotics and adverse events
Open accessAbstract
Fluoroquinolones are broad-spectrum antibiotics with good oral bioavailability. They are used for the treatment of a wide variety of infections, but there are restrictions on prescribing these drugs. Epidemiological studies have reported an increased risk of rare adverse effects. These include tendinopathy and tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy and aortic aneurysm. Safe prescribing of fluroquinolones requires recognition of patients with risk factors for toxicity. Prompt drug discontinuation is recommended in the event of an adverse reaction. Practising antimicrobial stewardship by prescribing fluoroquinolones only when alternative drugs are unavailable is also key to limiting adverse events and antibiotic resistance.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
