Cipro, Levaquin, Floxin, Tequin, Zagam, Factive, Trovan, Just to Name a Few… Better Think Twice Before Taking a Fluoroquinolone aka Quinolone Antibiotic!
Please go to www.fqvictims.org and print-sign-and mail the petition for Congress for a Congressional Hearing and Investigation regarding this class of antibiotics which is causing physical, crippling and psychological damage to innocent people..
(PRWEB) February 14, 2005 — People who have been physically damaged by taking: Cipro, Levaquin, Floxin, Tequin, Avelox, Vigamox, Quixin, Ciprodex, Ocuflox, Ciloxan, etc. (Fluoroquinolone aka Quinolone antibiotics), please go to www.fqvictims.org and print-sign-mail the proposed petition to the United States Congress for a Congressional Hearing and Investigation regarding this class of antiobiotics (also used as cancer treatment drugs).
Also please read the devastating and horrifying adverse drug reactions (stories which have been posted) that these drugs have caused to innocent people. People have had their lives destroyed because of these drugs. The adverse drug reactions could have been well prevented had the FDA and Pharmaceutical Companies properly warned both the Medical community and General public in the United States about the adverse drug reactions and risks involed when taking one of these drugs.
The FDA and Drug ompanies have never sent a dear Doctor letter advising the medical community and general public of the serious ADR’S and risks that can happen when taking these antibiotics and also advising of new drug interactions. These drugs are handed out like candy and used as a first line antibiotic instead of the safer (and a lot cheaper) antibiotics on the market that do not cuase crippling dissabilities. These drugs should only be used in a life or death situation and both the Doctors and patients are fully aware of the risks involved when taking any one of these drugs in this class of antibiotics.
