Moxifloxacin-induced Hypoglycemia in a Non-diabetic Patient

Current Drug Safety 01/2012; 7(2):183-185. pp.183-185

ABSTRACT Hypoglycemia is a rare life threatening adverse drug reaction associated with various fluoroquinolones like ciprofloxacin, gatifloxacin and levofloxacin. Moxifloxacin was considered safe in this regard. Only one case has been reported for moxifloxacin-induced hypoglycemia in a renal failure patient. Here, we are reporting the second case of hypoglycemia due to moxifloxacin without any major co-morbid condition.
