Yes, seems it took decades for the FDA to respond to the side effects of fluoroquinolones!
In the early days, of their release to the public, a science writer wrote a book about theirs risks and his tireless work to get a hearing from the FDA... all for nothing then. His wife developed a form of epilepsy from Floxin, from one day use! At that time, also, Oprah had a show on drug side effects and reactions which mentioned this drug also, which caused problems for one of her producers.

I bought this book when it came out, in Hardcover in the '90's.
I find it very sobering to see how many years had to pass before our FDA took these side effects seriously finally.
