This medication is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, and its use may lead to tendon-related side effects such as tendonitis or tendon rupture.

This medication is used for the treatment of specific bacterial infections and should be used cautiously only when no alternative treatment options are available. Elderly patients, patients with impaired kidney function, and those taking corticosteroids should be cautious as they have a higher risk of tendon rupture. Concomitant use with corticosteroids should be avoided, and if tendon pain, inflammation, or rupture symptoms occur, administration should be ceased immediately, and rest should be taken. This medication has neuromuscular blocking effects and may be risky for patients with myasthenia gravis. Patients with a history of allergic reactions to this medication or similar drugs or a past history of tendon disorders should not use it.
