Description

A Health Canada safety review was carried out as a follow-up assessment on the potential risk of retinal detachment with the use of oral fluoroquinolones. Health Canada's previous safety review examined the risk of retinal detachment with oral fluoroquinolones and had concluded that limited evidence was available to support a link at that time. Since Health Canada's initial review, many other studies have been conducted regarding the potential link between the use of oral fluoroquinolones and retinal detachment triggering this follow-up safety review.
