Lyrics -

Ciprofloxacin is a synthetic chemotheraputic antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone drug class.

It is a second-generation fluoroquinolone antibacterial, interferes with bacterias DNA enzymes
They cant re-wind
Which stops DNA and protein synthesis.

Are you sure doc? This stuff is chemo. I mean I know Im peeing blood and throwing up but you said it should clear up, its an infection.

Overreaction. You worry too much. 500mg should be the magic touch, here you go.

Hey pharmacist, thanks for the pills. Is there anything I should know?

Yes there is, take them twice a day till they're gone. You're good to go.

Is that all?

Well I guess not. Take them eight hours apart, keep a close eye on your heart, it may race, pale your face, and by the way - no sunshine or antacids and you probably shouldn't drive, have a nice day!


Ciprofloxacin, you've really done me in. If I hadn't read your drug insert I mighta wrote a will.
I cant see straight, stay up too late, whose idea was it to sell me an untested chemo pill?


Day one wasn't too fun, I felt allergic to the sun. Double-vision made me nauseous causing midnight bathroom runs.
Day two, symptoms grew, hallucinated rainbows, knew I was in trouble, when seeing double, almost made me walk into oncoming traffic.
Day three terrified me, hands shaking, heart racing, called the doctor and he said I could stop taking it!

Although quinolones are highly toxic to mammalian cells in culture, its mechanism of cytotoxic action is not known.
Debate continues as to whether DNA damage is something that this drug does to people.

Dear Bayer, Im glad the system works for you
you work hard, and no ones saying thats not true
But you've had 13 whole years, while scores of side effects appear
To find out if your drug makes DNA in humans stop rewinding too.

$242 million in profit seems to be enough to do another test to put these dangers to rest. In fact, and Bayer, no offense to you, I think there should be laws requiring you to.

Hey folks, she's serious. Some of the adverse effects of cipro can be debilitating and for some people, long-term (years) or permanent. I consider myself extremely lucky to have survived a different quinolone with only a few months of intense pain and other very bad problems. AVOID TAKING Cipro, Avelox, Levaquin, Floxin, Baytril or any quinolone. I've you've been affected then please find the Fluoroquinolone support groups in Facebook. Your doctors are idiots who know nothing.

@billmilliganhisself To be fair, most doctors are not idiots. They're just taught to trust the untrustworthy pharm companies. Until they have reason not to, I can't blame them for doing what they were trained to do. That's why this issue should be made public.

DEATH TO BAYER!

[melodramakid]

bayer doesn't care about it's consumers.

[HBlatz87]

Um...I was just prescribed this. Today. Found this vid by accident, just tookmy first pill about an hour ago. And I'm all.....tingly.... and disoriented.

[aztec1128]

@billmilliganhisself i took this drug and my substantial pain in all my joints and tendons. its been a year and half since this happened to me. Cipro should only be used in extreme cause of infection. To think the 4 little pills i took is going to cause me a life time of pain. Doctor should not give out this drug at all.

[Darkxbb]

SI NO SE DIERON CUENTA ESTA CON ROPA INTERIOR MMM.. PERO LO DIGO CON TODO RESPETO :)

[lozin88]

I had prostatitis and took like 10 pills of this crap, i started to feel pain in my achiles tendon and i didnt know why.. then i got really bad anxiety, panic attacks and this got worse after 3 months. I feel a little better now, but still i cant get ride of heart palpitations... It annoys me. Anyone knows how long this menace will last ? I would accept waiting 1 year or 2.. but i really want me old me back.

[Dev1l0ck666]

@papatoony I have never seen free Cipro. If you now the risk of the drug then good you're doing your job as a patient, people tend to believe that doctors are some how omnipotent beings that know everything there is to know about everything that takes place in the medical field; Do you know everything there is to know in your field? I highly doubt it, and if you think you do then I'm sorry but that is just ignorant. Also any drug you take can be poison at some level.Tylenol, Advil.

[MrNicks24]

@papatoony Well, I'm sorry for your luck. When did you take it? Maybe your pharmacy sucks and your doc? I got mine about a year ago and it had a ton of info on the package. It list all the side effects I ever read about plus some. And the pharmacist actually gave me a few tips and urged me that if I did get ANY side effects to stop taking it immediately. So I was warned. Plus I google pretty much everything I and my wife take so I'm educated a little bit. I truly do feel bad.

[papatoony]

@MrNicks24 As I've learned thanks to Bayer, there are worse things than being dead! Like being crippled and in agonizing, unrelenting, chronic PAIN the likes of which cannot be described nor imagined. I most certainly did read the drug info that came with it--NOWHERE did it make any mention of PERMANENT side effects! Nor did it say that if you become poisoned by it that you'd experience EVERY SINGLE THING ON THE LABEL AT ONCE!!! Not to mention all the horrors they omitted altogether!

[MrNicks24]

@papatoony Really? My best friend overdosed on Heroin and past away in July. You're obviously not DEAD! Pretty bad analogy. I feel bad for you for only taking a few pills and are now suffering the wrath of the side affects. I don't know what to tell you? Did you do a little research before taking the medication and take the risk as I did? Or did you blindly take it and not read any of the notices stapled to your medication from the pharmacy.weliveinaworldofinfot­heresnoexcuse
