Warnings on Cipro monograths

[Guest guest]

Dear Tracey,

This is a follow-up on yesterday's message about Cipro. I just received my

script and the monograth says thusly: " This medication may rarely cause tendon

damage (e.g., tendonitis, trendon rupture) during or after treatment. Your risk

for tendon problems is greater if you are over 60 years of age, if you are

taking corticosteroids (such as prednisone), or if you have a kidney, heart or

lung transplant. Stop exercising, rest, and seek immediate medical attention if

you develop joint/muscle/tendon pain or swelling. " There are also lawsuits over

this. I have tendonitis in one shoulder and a torn rotator cuff in the other.

I don't think there is to much difference in the pain level for either.

Buyer beware,

Lottie
