The boxed warning also covers peripheral neuropathy that may be irreversible, CNS effects including seizures and psychiatric disturbances, and worsening of myasthenia gravis. Contraindicated in patients with "known hypersensitivity to levofloxacin or other quinolone antibacterials." Other major warnings include hypersensitivity/anaphylactic reactions, hepatotoxicity, QT prolongation/torsade de pointes, Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea, and disturbances of blood glucose.
