Abstract:
Fluoroquinolones are widely used in clinical practice, but their clinical application in juvenile patients has been controversial.The purpose of this study was to investigate the pharmacokinetic characteristics, indications and adverse reactions of Ciprofloxacin and Levofloxacin in minors.It is shown that the two drugs are effective for infectious diseases and no serious or persistent joint or skeletal muscle injury occurs in minors using the drugs.Hence, in the absence of alternatives, the benefits of Ciprofloxacin or Levofloxacin treatment for minors may outweigh the risks.
