FDA advises restricting fluoroquinolone antibiotic use for certain uncomplicated infections FDA warns about disabling side effects that can occur together with use of fluoroquinolone antibiotic like Cipro, Factive, Levaquin, Avelox, Noroxin, or Floxin

Since I continue to see patients who are prescribed Fluoroquinolone antibiotics for conditions for which no antibiotic is necessary or for conditions that could be treated with safe antibiotics, I am posting the FDA new labeling / warnings for this class of medications from 2016.

Cipro, Levaquin and Avelox are the most commonly prescribed Fluoroquinolones and can cause permanent disabling side effects. These include damage and rupture of major tendons, central and peripheral neurologic damage, and serious psychological disorders. See FDA link: https://www.fda.gov/Drugs/DrugSafety/ucm500143.htm

JUST SAY NO TO PREDNISONE AND OTHER CORTICOSTEROIDS whether it be topical, spray, oral or IV! OVERUSE OF CORTICOSTEROIDS ('Steroids') LIKE PREDNISONE

A major pharmacy used my doctors license without my permission to create a prescription for a patient

It appears that the drug companies and pharmacists are rewriting medical ethics to promote the sales of their products. Pharmacists should not be practicing medicine, dispensing shots and "moving product" for drug manufacturers bypassing the educated, wise benevolent healer-physician.
