No levofloxacin-related adverse events were reported at a rate higher than 1.3%, and most were less common. High-dose levofloxacin (750 mg) was also well tolerated. Surveillance data reported low adverse event rates nausea 0.8%, rash 0.5%, abdominal pain 0.4%, and diarrhea, dizziness, and vomiting 0.3%. The adverse drug reactions rate for levofloxacin is stiU one of the lowest of any fluoroquinolone, at 2% compared with 2-10% for other fluoroquinolones (6-9). [Pg.2048]
