Cipro, levaquin and all fluoroquinolone antibiotics should have a black box label to prevent MD's from handing them out like candy. I personally know four people that have had horrible adverse effects from the drug. Some of these effects don't start for weeks or months and can be permanent. Check out the fluoroquinolone toxicity research forum. The denial of the medical profession to address this is a tragedy for victims. Even Bayer (the manufacturer admits these horrid effects are from these drugs. Your tendons can rupture, peripheal nerve damage, cardiac damage, and severe anxiety to name a few. If this is brought to the attention of your doctor, you will probably be referred to a shrink. There is a class action lawsuit from the postal workers given cipro for the anthrax scare. They have experienced horrible side effects. How can patients get their doctors out of denial?
