whether quinolones are safe for patients with diabetes
November 2002
We're getting lots of questions about whether quinolones are safe for patients with diabetes.
This stems from recent reports that Tequin (gatifloxacin) can cause SEVERE hypoglycemia when taken with oral diabetes meds... glyburide... glipizide... Prandin (repaglinide)... etc.
There are also a FEW cases of hypoglycemia in patients taking other quinolones... Cipro (ciprofloxacin)... Levaquin (levofloxacin)... Avelox (moxifloxacin)...etc.
