Ciprofloxacin

[ortafunk]

So another words ciprofloxacin Is the same damn thing as tetracycline under another name which causes swelling of the brain and a neurological toxin and when It gets old will cause Kidney damage.

I tried some of this shit for a simple sinus infection and lucky for me, I stopped after only 4 tablets. I've seen so many horror stories of life altering injuries associated with this drug, that I can't imagine how my life as a weight lifter would be completely ruined if I had continued this drug.

DO NOT USE FLUOROQUINOLONES EVER! If you want to avoid becoming a cripple.

I am a young victim and had my health ruined. It took 2.5 years to come back from 5 pills! Even now I have some unrelenting side effects. Bottom line is the public needs to be properly informed by Doctors of potential side effects and CLOSELY monitored while Rx-ing. These drugs are often Rxed for simple suspicions of UTI's. There are 5 classes of antibiotics just 1 being a quinolone. Rx-ing a quinolone on a guess is CRIMINAL! Its like killing an ant with a 747! This stuff has killed KIDS@!

THIS STUFF IS POISON! Don't believe me read the official side effects at the company website! "Permanent nuerological damage" is just one. There are 5 classes of antibiotics.Quinolones are just one. Rx-ing quinolones for a best guess diagnosis is like killing an ant with a 747. Do yourself a favor and only take a quinolone as a last resort. Utilize the other 4 classes first. This stuff has killed kids. Do your research, one pill has caused people to experience years of hell on earth.

Side effects of this drug may contiune or pop-up even after you've stopped taking the drug for years, that's the worst part of it.

[WestConner]

Please explain just one side effect that can continue or pop-up even after you've stopped taking ciprofloxacin for over one year.

[mikense]

yes, I took Cipro 500mg in 2005.  Almost 3 years later I had a stomach upset.

[ShellsPink]

These are NOT mere side-effects, they are a direct result of the TOXICITY of these drugs. I had previously been blessed w/ excellent health, always worked out, followed a healthy diet etc..today I am suffering severe tendinitis, Premature Ventricular Contractions (heart-palps), electrical-like "vibrations" throughout my body, swelling of my fingers/toes, tinnitus, skin reactions, and the latest being a kidney cyst. All from 20 pills of fluoroquinolones taken in 2003 for a sinus infection.

[ragdollannie]

I took levaquin which is in the same family of quinolones and have had felt horrible ever since... it has been a month and it is getting worse, started out with extreme fatigue and flu-like symptoms, feeling out of body,depersonalization intensified and inability to focus... now i am starting leg cramping, it is hard to sit or walk.... i don't think i am up for this sort of life of pain, my legs feel like they were kicked by a horse. LEVAQUIN IS POISON.
