CIPRO DISCUSSION
The FDA on July 8, 2008 ordered a prominent “Black Box” warning be placed on the
packaging of Cipro and other fluroquinolone antibiotics to warn users of the
risk of tendon ruptures and tendinitis. The agency action was prompted by
hundreds of reports of patient injuries.
Let's talk about this! My husband went through 8 courses of CIPRO and could not
figure out why, all of a sudden, he had tendonitis in his shoulder and arm, and
a case of what the doctor called plantar fascitis. He also has aching
legs. We went to the doctor July 9, and he wanted to prescribe CIPRO - no
no no!
Let's share our stories -
how much CIPRO did you take before symptoms?
What are your injuries?
What are you doing about your injuries?
Are you going to join a class action suit?
