Information dating back to 1983 relates a specific class of antibiotics, the fluoroquinolones, to tendinopathy and rupture of various tendons throughout the body. While antibiotics may be necessary for certain conditions, it is important to ask your physician the side effects of medications, including musculoskeletal conditions that may be associated. Many prescription drugs have side effects such as muscle tension, cramping, or pain.
