TGA warns of severe CNS and psychiatric events linked to antibiotic
The TGA says side effects can occur in patients without risk factors.
The TGA is putting stricter warnings on fluoroquinolones over rare but “potentially irreversible” reactions, including toxic psychosis, seizures and tendon ruptures.
All oral and injectable fluoroquinolones, including ciprofloxacin, will get boxed warnings about potential CNS, psychiatric and musculoskeletal effects, the TGA announced last week.
