HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, both the Penicillin and fluoroquinolone are different group of drugs if your sensitive to penicillin it does not mean that you would be sensitive to fluoroquinolone, more over fluoroquinolone is well tolerated so need to worry about this hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
