Abstract
A 42-year-old woman was prescribed the second-generation 4-fluoroquinolone antibiotic ofloxacin to cure loose movements. However, after taking the medication, she developed lip edema. Antibiotics called fluoroquinolones are frequently administered for a variety of medical disorders. The patient was successfully treated with corticosteroids after the diagnosis of ofloxacin-induced hypersensitive reaction was made based on the patient's history, clinical examination, and normal test results. Because ofloxacin, this type of reaction is extremely uncommon. Anti-allergic medicines and drug cessation were used to treat the disease.
