Abstract
A patient accidentally received approximately 3 g of ofloxacin intravenously. She experienced only moderately severe central nervous system symptoms, which resolved within 9 h. The peak serum ofloxacin level was 39.3 micrograms/ml, approximately seven times the usual peak level. Ofloxacin may possess a considerable safety margin in humans.
