Comments on: FDA's black box warning on Cipro is not enough http://www.citizenvox.org/2008/07/08/fdas-black-box-warning-on-cipro-is-not-enough/ Standing Up to Corporate Power Tue, 07 Feb 2012 22:29:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.1.3 By: Edwin http://www.citizenvox.org/2008/07/08/fdas-black-box-warning-on-cipro-is-not-enough/#comment-4362 Edwin Fri, 22 Apr 2011 02:32:45 +0000 http://citizenvox.wordpress.com/?p=307#comment-4362 I took one levaquin, my first dose, as prescribed by my doctor for a sinus infection, and then did a search online for this antibiotic. What I read was so negative that I decided not to take the rest. A few days later I got double vision in both eyes. I had never experienced anything like this before. I started searching online and found that the World Health Organization suspected levaquin as causing double-vision. I had trouble functioning and experienced awful stress over this. It took two months for the double-vision to go away. I want to include a link here to a doctor who suggested a therapy that helped a man with fluoroquinolone toxicity. He suggested glutathione drips, which I took in the hope it would help me. I don't know whether my double-vision would have gone away without the glutathione or not. I also did chelation drip treatments as well because I feel they clean out junk from the body (this was something I decided to do on my own). This doctor is very knowledgeable on fluoroquinolones. Here is the link: http://www.medicationsense.com/articles/jan_dec_08/toxicity070508.html I very much hope this will help you who are suffering with this. God bless you.

But a number of brand name fluoroquinolone drugs STILL do not have updated inserts. And forget about the generics. NONE of them have new package inserts published on the FDA site. NOT A ONE OF THEM. Considering the fact that the fluoroquinolones are outrageously expensive you can bet the insurance companies are requiring the generics be used. And what is MISSING from the generic inserts? THE BLACK BOX WARNING OF COURSE. Friggin FDA. Always finding a way to avoid telling the doctors or the patients about how dangerous the drugs they approve are. What a total waste of taxpayers money. And the United States Supreme Court is reviewing a case that would give the drug companies a "get out of jail free card" if the FDA approves their defective products. Doesn't get any sicker than this... As of November the FDA FINALLY published the new package inserts on their website which include the pathtetic black box warnings.

There are plenty of websites devoted to this very real problem. At least a few times a week new harmed people join the Yahoo forums. Don't stop! Don't ever stop till they pull this crap from the markets! I hope Public Citizen is still pushing this issue. There are plenty of websites devoted to this very real problem.

I am still up 22 x 7 with ringing in my ears, anhedonia and about 22 other adverse reactions. And some idiot doctor at a college wanted my son to take Levaquin for a runny nose that he thought was a sinus infection? My son has SEEN me and he is too scared to take these drugs.

Surprised it took them that long to find this one. Wonder if they were using the water from Mars to make this latest batch of koolaid that they are drinking. Water from Mars and a discussion regarding life threatening drug reactions. Only a connection that a drug rep could possibly be making.
