Avelox

An Avelox lawyer in Oklahoma can stand up for you

Avelox (monifloxacin hydrochloride) is an antibiotic used by people with bacterial infections, including sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, and community acquired pneumonia. Avelox is part of a class of drugs known as fluoroquinolones, which also includes Levaquin.

The side effects linked to Avelox include tendon ruptures and tears. The drug may cause injury to tendons in a patient’s Achilles heel, shoulder, bicep, thumb, or hand.

If you took Avelox, or a loved one used the drug, and suffered any adverse side effects, be sure to talk to an Avelox lawyer in Tulsa about your legal rights. You may be entitled to compensation for your losses. Call Hansen Dirani immediately for a free consultation: 877-583-0700. A delay may affect your rights.

Risk of tendon swelling and rupture

Tendon swelling and tendon rupture is a risk for anyone using Avelox. For those who are older than 60 who have undergone kidney, heart and lung transplants, the risk of Avelox side effects is more pronounced. People on steroid therapy also are at risk.

Even if you are done with Avelox treatment, you may experience tendon rupture months later.

Avelox has been used to treat 109 million patients worldwide, according to the manufacture Bayer AG. Hansen Dirani is unaware of any settlements related to Avelox lawsuits.
