 1  Possible tooth infection Let me start by saying I will never take this drug again ...I'd rather be dead. Severe anxiety, starving 24 hours a day, headaches, ringing in my ears, every joint bone and muscle hurt so bad I could not function or sleep. M 47

 1   Another Cipro victim recently decided to end their own life rather than continue living with the nightmarish and never-ending side effects of this nasty antibiotic. You know a drug is bad when death is preferable to its side effects! Get this &$%# off the market NOW! How many more kids are going to have to grow up without a mother or father because of corporate greed and corruption? The folks at Bayer must be brought to justice. Of course that will never happen through legal channels, as they (the drug industry) have bought off the FDA. We are not being protected, and if we want justice it seems we must get it ourselves.

 1   To the 23yo female who posted on 7/6/15: You are obviously quite ignorant about Cipro and its (abysmal) safety profile. A bullet has a half-life of what, a fraction of a second as it passes through your body? But we all know how deadly and destructive bullets can be. Keep on taking your Cipro like a good consumer and we'll see who's a "complainer" once she's permanently unable to walk. It's one thing to knowingly endanger your own health, it's quite another to encourage others to do the same with theirs. You have a lot of learning yet to do!

 1   "Stay off the internet sites that talk about side effects" --Yes, stay COMPLETELY ignorant and in the dark about a class of antibiotics that could potentially destroy your life! Genius. PS. Many of Cipro's side effects often don't surface for weeks or months after you've already stopped taking it, so don't be so quick to count your chickens before they hatch. M

 1   Today marks six years since I officially lost my life to 12 Cipro pills. Six years now since I've seen a gym. Six years since I've been to a mall. Six years since I've taken a simple walk outside. I've been in bed for 2,191 days now thanks to this poison masquerading as an antibiotic. My hope of ever recovering is long gone at this point. I don't even bother lying to myself anymore. If you're done living, take Cipro. Death to Bayer & shame on the FDA. Google "Cipro is poison" if you'd like to learn more. M 36

 1  Urinary Tract Infection Both shoulder tendons ruptured. Each repaired surgically, then each ruptured again. Just last month, my hamstring completely detached -- an injury typically seen in bull riders and water skiers. I was leaning into my car to retrieve my wallet on the far seat. I have taken Cipro nine times over the past ten years. No one ever warned me about this. I'd blamed all these injuries on Lyme disease, which I contracted over 20 years ago. I always wondered why no other Lyme victims complained about tendon ruptures (I am a Lyme disease patient advocate and support-group facilitator). After four solid years on antibiotics (almost two years on IV antibiotic), I was basically cured from the Lyme, but over the years, I've suffered five ruptures now. DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS DRUG. IT SHOULD BE BANNED. F

 1   Now that the FDA has FINALLY acknowledged that fluoroquinolone-associated disability exists (30 years later!), I think it's time we victims band together and get compensated for our damages, our pain & suffering, our lost income and the lost years of our lives. Why should U.S. tax payers be on the line for our SSDI benefits when it was Big Pharma that caused all of this? The public should be outraged. I don't know about you, but I cannot live on SSDI alone. Not when I have to pay someone to do the most menial tasks for me now like grocery shopping, yard work, taking out the trash, etc. Why should I be relegated to a life of poverty and financial ruin because a multi-billion dollar corporation (as well as the FDA) withheld safety information from me? Bayer owes me and countless others MILLIONS, and it's about damn time they pay up. M

 1   The reviewer from 12/30/2015 is almost certainly a big pharma rep. Either that or just very, very naive. Just because he's willing to play Russian roulette with his life doesn't mean you have to play it with yours. Cipro--and every other fluoroquinolone antibiotic still on the market--is capable of causing savage harm. Hello, every drug in this class now carries MULTIPLE black box warnings. Yea--real safe! And fewer side effects than older antibiotics? The FDA warning label for Cipro is 43 pages long!! You have been warned.

 1   "Sounds as if they took the leaflet and copied all the side effects." If only Bayer actually divulged all of the side effects this poison is capable of inducing! IF ONLY. ZERO informed consent. 100% criminal. M

 1   Completely devastated my once-healthy body, essentially ending my life. I would love to get my hands around the CEO's neck and strangle the life out of him for what his company's poison has done to my life. An eye for an eye, buddy. 24/7/365 pain and suffering beyond anything I can even begin to put into words. M

 1  NONE I posted over a year ago questioning some of the side effects reported here for CIPRO. I want to apologize for even questioning any of these reports. I think the pharmaceutical industry is criminal and corrupt. They have also completely ruined my life and future. All aspects of myfuture have been destroyed by them. I wish to apologize again and my heart goes out to all of those suffering from damage done by the pharmaceutical industry. M 19

 1   This drug is directly responsible for my early death. And it was a slow and painful one I wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. I fought it as long as I could, guys. I truly did. M 41

 1  Bladder/prostate pain Well today marks 14 years since Cipro ended my life. October 25th, 2009 I'd just turned 30 years old when my doctor made the fateful decision to prescribe me this poison without trying any safer alternatives first. I'm now 44 and have been crippled and on SSDI ever since. I've been 100% bedridden for years now and cannot even leave my house for any reason because my connective tissue tears from doing literally nothing at all. I wouldn't wish this barbaric condition on my worst enemy but I do wish it on every single Bayer employee. See you again next year if I can somehow endure yet another year of this nightmarish hell.

 1  suspected c diff Immediately after the IV was entered I started to itch. It was dc'd immediately. Had an allergic reaction. Deadly poison. Doctors are drug pushers who do not know how to cure anymore. Unfortunate. M 90 1 times

 1  UTI Severe anxiety attack, pure FEAR, extreme sweating, vomitting, trouble breathing, severe pain in head & neck ( felt like my head was going to explode, it hurt worse than a 2 day long MIGRAINE). Nausea, weakness, stiff joints, all over joint pain. CONSUMER BEWARE!!!! I ended up in an ambulance 45 minutes after taking ONE dose of this POISON!! I have a severe rare disease to begin with, I have taken all kinds of prescriptions in my life, and had side effects, but NOTHING can compare to CIPRO!! it was diagnosed as an allergic and ADVERSE reaction! howver after getting online and reading other stories, I find I am far from being alone in the torture cipro caused. I will be doing everything I can to get this drug taken off the market after all the research I have done. I can go on and on here, I do not over-react, I am a level headed person, who knows what it's like to be sick and suffer, but the way this drug made me feel was beyond cruel. Please, don't take cipro, or levaquin or any drug in that family unless it's life or death! and DEMAND they keep you as an IN patient for the first 24-48 of taking CIPRO/LEVAQUIN!! I'm serious! or ask for a much milder antibiotic!! I swear if you need an antibiotic! you are already sick! don't make yourself 100times WORSE!!!! and to all the doctors, physicians assitants, nurse practitioners - BEFORE you give this - WARN the patient of the strength of this!! or how about you take it yourself! or give it to YOUR family/loved ones!! you all know the black box warning! listen to it!!! ugh!!!!
