Guest guest Posted July 19, 2009 Report Share Posted July 19, 2009 Wow! I was reading the web yesterday, and came across this information on the serious peripheral neuropathy blowback from the use of these antibiotics. I was shocked - though not surprised - to see these antibiotics can cause DNA changes, and serious, permanent illnesses, including death. Perhaps some of us here with CMT are suffering from the effect of the use of some of these medications. Fluoroquinolones antibiotics - Cipro, Levaquin, Floxin, Tequin, Avelox, Maxaquin, Factive, Noroxin, Penetrex, Zagam, and any others with " flox " or " ox " in the generic name, like ciprofloxacin, levafloxacin, gatifloxacin, etc. EAR/EYE antibiotic drops include: Chibroxin (norfloxacin), Ocuflox (ofloxacin), Quixin (levofloxacin), Zymar (gatifloxacin), Ciloxan (ciprofloxacin), Floxin Otic (ofloxacin), Cipro Otic (ciprofloxacin), Vigamox (moxifloxacin), CiproHC. http://www.theannals.com/cgi/content/abstract/35/12/1540 http://fqvictims.org/fqvictims/index.htm http://www.fqresearch.org http://www.medicationsense.com I'm really sad to read things like this, because once again, I'm reminded of how many of us may suffer terribly simply due to modern medical therapy, modern chemicals/etc. This information needs to be added to everyone's Medication Alert list with your physicians.
