Comments from related studies:

• From this study (8 months ago):

Experienced abdominal pain in 1990's while on Cipro, was taken off drug immediately and shortly afterward diagnosed with blood in urine but doctor nor I connected the dots. May 22, 2009 given Cipro again for UTI taken off drug after a few days due to pain in legs. Doc put me on prednisone. Got worse so went to Mayo Clinic, MRI revealed muscle damage in legs consistent with tendonosis but could not say cause. Said "if caused by Cipro there is no known cure." I now have macular degeration in both eyes, which is also bleeding condition and wonder if there could be a connection. I feel Cipro is as dangerous as the 1960's drug Thalidimide (spell?), permanent and degenerative. I would like to know where I can get help, or where there is research. Perhaps my adverse effects could help.

Cipro, Levaquin, Avelox and fluorquinolones are dangerous in general and should be avoided. There are alternatives (doxycycline is one). This family of antibiotics has four black box warnings and should have many more. If you are seeking answers on how to deal with the many adverse reactions these harmful drugs cause, join the Facebook page "Fluoroquinolone Toxicity Group".
