The fact that Cipro and quinolones can cause permanent, untreatable tendon damage as highlighted by the need for a black box warning, that leaves patients with crippling untreatable pain, is only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the other severe and permanently disabling adverse reactions that Cipro and other quinolones can inflict. The product information sheets provided by quinolone manufacturers also fail to indicate that some individuals will suffer from multiple adverse reactions that will become permanent and untreatable. They list a wide variety of adverse reactions that would seriously impair anyone’s quality of life, including psychological, neurological side effects as well as physical, if one had to live with them for life. Some of these reactions can develop days, weeks or months after taking these pills as well, making if more difficult to identify the drugs as the culprit of the disease.

Levaquin should never be taken by Diabetics
My mom died 5 years ago. She had taken 1 10 day dose of Levaquin and developed many side effects. She was Diabetic and controlled it with diet and medication. Within days of taking levaquin she experienced extremly low blood sugars and started falling a lot. There needs to be more awareness of this!
On the last day of taking the antibotic she developed a rash that developed into vasculitis and sores that took a very long time to heal(because of her Diabetes). It was noted in her medical charts that she had an adverse allergic reaction to the drug Levaquin. Because my mom did not have a tendon rupture and the statute of limitations has passed it is to late for us to be able to file a valid claim! I am urging anyone who has or is having adverse reactions who is a Diabetic and has taken the drug Levaquin to look into a possiblity of forming a Class Action!
