Antibiotics are life-saving medications, but they can also cause side effects, including peripheral neuropathy. Peripheral neuropathy is damage to the nerves that send information to and from the brain and spinal cord to the rest of the body. It can cause numbness, tingling, burning, weakness, and pain in the hands and feet.


Fluoroquinolones are the most common type of antibiotic that can cause peripheral neuropathy. Other types of antibiotics that can cause peripheral neuropathy include metronidazole, isoniazid, vincristine, cisplatin, thalidomide, and dapsone.


The risk of peripheral neuropathy from antibiotics is higher in older adults, people with kidney disease, and people who are taking multiple medications. It is also higher in people who take antibiotics for longer periods of time.


If you experience any symptoms of peripheral neuropathy, see a doctor to determine if they are caused by an antibiotic and recommend the best course of treatment.


To reduce your risk of developing antibiotic-induced peripheral neuropathy, only take antibiotics when necessary and for as long as prescribed. Talk to your doctor about the risks and benefits of different types of antibiotics before choosing one. Avoid taking multiple antibiotics at the same time.
