One of the major side effects of fluoroquinolone antibiotics is that they can cause peripheral neuropathy, or nerve damage. Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves that send information to and from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. Damage can occur to this connection and the symptoms depend on which nerves are affected.
