Interaction of fluoroquinolones with collagen
Authors
Yash Raj Mehta
Abstract
The results of this study have shown that the primary side effects of
fluoroquinolone usage, those being tendinopathy, tendon rupture, and
ligament/cartilage damage, can be traced to type I collagen, which makes up a
great portion of protein within the human body. While other side effects may be
linked to drugs which are externally consumed, type I collagen is compound
bound to the human body, and thus, proves to be a significant hurdle in the
path of mitigating the health risks rightfully associated with the consumption
of fluoroquinolones.
