my father had a severe and almost fatal experience with Ketek. His physician did not feel that his episode (stopped breathing) was related. I feel that every situation with a medication should be evaluated. Fortunately help arrived in time, he was intubated and rushed to the hospital. Every doctor should be aware that ANY medication can cause a reaction, especially when you have Myasthenia.

Shortly after Ketek was approved by the FDA, the FDA began receiving reports that Ketek was causing severe liver damage, including deaths. As a result, by February 2007, the FDA added a black box warning (which is the strongest warning that the FDA placed on a prescription drug) about liver damage to the Ketek label.
