While fluoroquinolones are commonly used in adults, the use in children has been low. Since 2000, there were 3 US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) Boxed warnings regarding fluoroquinolones (2008, 2013, and 2016). Our objective was to describe the use of fluoroquinolones in children and assess the impact of 3 recent FDA warnings on fluoroquinolone use.
