Cipro is the quintessential kind of drug that people take like candy because they think all drugs are safe. With so many horrible things going on in this world, some people want to believe that if they take this pill, it will protect them. But that's not how it works, and what people don't understand is that these drugs can cause illness... A lot of people get these drugs for the most minor infections, but there are a lot of people who should think twice before taking a quinolone for anything.
