Todays public service announcement. If you have to see a health care provider for a bacterial infection i.e. Bronchitis, pneumonia, intestinal issue etc, be aware of the risks of the antibiotic that they may prescribe. Fluoroquinolones like Levofloxacin, Levoquin, and Cipro somehow effect your tendons and users are subject to significant injury like an Achilles rupture. Theres plenty on the medical websites like WebMD and Mayo about this. The risk is real, You now know a guy that had that happen to him after three days on the med. But please, please, dont refuse it based simply on my experience. The drug may save your life. Be aware, be informed. The side effects were not discussed with me when I was discharged. You will benefit by having a discussion with your doctor about its use and potential risks before taking it.
