[ Ссылка ] The discovery of antibiotics has helped to save millions of lives. A particularly powerful type of antibiotic known as fluoroquinolones are used for treating serious bacterial infections. Levaquin is one of these types of fluoroquinilines.

The problem, however, is that Levaquin is also prescribed for illnesses that are not very serious, for instance, ear infections and sinus infections. This has resulted in cases of Levaquin peripheral neuropathy.

Peripheral neuropathy happens when nerves which carry messages to and from the brain become damaged or diseased. This has disabled many people who have used the antibiotic Levaquin. These Levaquin neuropathy symptoms are:

• Burning or tingling
• Shooting pain
• Vision problems
• Digestive issues
• Sweating
• Intolerance to heat
• Muscle weakness
• Lack of coordination
• Changes in blood pressure
• Dizziness or lightheadedness

The FDA required drug manufacturers to list peripheral neuropathy as one of the side effects of these fluoroquinolones. Unfortunately, the warnings were added 12 years after this connection was discovered.

Levaquin peripheral neuropathy has resulted in many people becoming completely disabled and unable to work. A Levaquin lawsuit claims that these drug companies failed to adequately warn consumers of the association with peripheral neuropathy.

If you or someone you know has experienced Levaquin nerve damage and been diagnosed with neuropathy, you may be entitle to compensation.
