However, there is a possibility that FQs have a direct cytotoxic effect on enzymes found in mammalian musculoskeletal tissue.3 Achilles tendinitis or rupture is among one of the most serious side effects associated with FQ use, especially with ciprofloxacin (Cipro), demonstrating a 3.8-fold greater risk for development of Achilles tendinitis/rupture.3 According to the article “Fluoroquinolone induced tendinopathy and tendon rupture”, approximately 41 to 50 percent of patients with FQ-induced tendinopathy experienced Achilles tendon ruptures, even after FQ therapy was discontinued.3 For one of the studies, out of 50 reported issues, the median latency period between start of FQ and first symptoms was 6 days. Another article stated that for the 25 people with complaints of tendon rupture, the ruptures occurred 2 to 42 days after the start of fluoroquinolone therapy5.
