Tequin is a member of the "quinolone" family of antibiotics. It is used to treat acute sinus infections, skin infections, pneumonia, complications of chronic bronchitis, kidney and urinary tract infections, and gonorrhea.
Most important fact about Tequin
Quinolone antibiotics can cause serious and sometimes fatal allergic reactions, sometimes after a single dose. Stop taking Tequin and call your doctor immediately if you develop swelling in the tongue, throat, or face; difficulty breathing or swallowing; itching, tingling; rash; hives; rapid or irregular heartbeat; seizures; or any other sign of an allergic reaction.
