Did anyone see this...not sure if anyone gets treated with CIPRO for Lyme but.... FDA calls for urgent warning on tendon risks 10:41 AM PDT on Tuesday, July 8, 2008 By Associated Press WASHINGTON - Federal drug safety officials have imposed the government's most urgent warning on Cipro and similar antibiotics, citing risks that they can cause tendon ruptures, a serious injury that leaves some patients incapacitated. The Food and Drug Administration on Tuesday ordered makers of flouroquinolone drugs -- a potent class of antibiotics -- to add a 'black box' warning to their products, which include Cipro, Levaquin, Floxin and other medications. Patients should immediately stop taking the medications if they develop any tendon pain, swelling or inflammation. Post edited by: beehonee, at: 07/08/2008 14:31 |
