Antibiotics And Tendon Damage


Can antibiotics cause tendon damage? [Image of pills]

Is there a link between certain antibiotics (and other drugs) and tendon disorders like Tennis Elbow, Golfer’s Elbow, Rotator Cuff injuries (and other tendon issues) – Or even tendon ruptures?

Yes, there’s a class of antibiotics called ‘Fluoroquinolones’ that have been know for decades to cause various forms of tendon damage – (Cipro being the most well-known and commonly prescribed.)

“As of July 2008, the FDA mandated that all FQ products have a black-box warning indicating an increased risk in adverse events including tendon rupture.”

In this episode, Allen Willette, from Tennis Elbow Classroom goes into detail about these antibiotic-induced tendon injuries, including:

  • Which specific antibiotics have a risk of tendon damage

  • The other serious side effects that these drugs can cause

  • How these drugs can damage your tendons (and even joints)

  • How these injuries differ from "typical" tendon injuries

  • And thoughts on how one might recover from these injuries
