“…FQs can also cause renal dysfunction or failure,80–89 which could possibly magnify the risk of other FQ AEs. Beyond renal dysfunction90 91 and older age,90 91 FQ AEs are reported to be increased with use of steroids,44 90 91 with strenuous physical activity (where increased energy demand magnifies any damage associated with mitochondrial dysfunction and impaired energy supply),91 92 use of renin-angiotensin blockers,93 and settings of concurrent mitochondrially toxic agents—such as chemotherapy,88 HIV protease inhibitors,87 94 95 statins92 and amiodarone45 90 96–98 (or class III antiarrhythmics, more generally). Impaired mitochondrial function more commonly might amplify risk, but routine assessments are not available.…”

“…This pain is usually of a sudden onset, and may be accompanied by acute signs of inflammation and swelling, which was presented as well. The diagnosis is made by acute/sub-acute onset of pain and swelling over the tendon, together with a history of recent use of FQ and the absence of other obvious causes of tendinopathy [3].…”

“…According to Corrao et al [16], patients over 60 years of age treated with FQ from 1 to 30 days have a 1.5-2.7 times higher risk of tendon injury including rupture compared to younger patients (under 60 years of age). Some reviews indicate that men are more likely to develop rupture [3,12].…”
