Fluoroquinolone Advocacy Efforts

While Cipro, Levaquin, Moxifloxacin, and the other drugs on the List of Fluoroquinolones continue to be one of the most prescribed drugs in the US, there are many efforts at Fluoroquinolone Advocacy in order to raise awareness, educate health practitioners and the public, or limit the use of these drugs to life-threatening conditions. Here are just some of the examples of the Fluoroquinolone advocacy that is being done around the world trying to limit the amount of harm these drugs are doing to patients.

• Public Citizens’  Petition to the FDA to Immediately Stop the Distribution of Dangerously Misleading Prescription Drug Information to the Public
