Abstract

Over the years there has been considerable disagreement in the medical community about whether Fluoroquinolones (FQs) are associated with peripheral neuropathy. By 2004, however, all FQ labels reflected that peripheral neuropathies have been reported with the use of FQs [1]. And by 2013, both FQ manufactures and the FDA were in agreement that peripheral neuropathy was associated with FQs and agreed to update the information in the Warnings and Precautions section of the labels and the patient Medication Guide accordingly.
