Dr Atul Kumar Singh, Dr Sandeep Loha

Abstract: Flouroquinolones are frequently used in treatment of upper and lower respiratory tract infections. Examples are ciprofloxacin, gemifloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin, norfloxacin and ofloxacin. Using flouroquinolones is a risk factor for drug induced seizures especially in susceptible individuals. We report two cases of moxifloxacin induced seizure which was managed successfully.
