Re: AVELOX

[Guest guest]

Hi Rob,

I posted the link below from pub med but that probably only tells you what you

already know from the drug insert. I would call your rheumatologist and ask

his/her opinion. Good luck to you and let us know what you find out. Hope you

feel better.

I spoke with a nurse at patient first and they said they were only concerned if

you have JRA.I just took my second dose so far so good(i did not want my

pneumonia to get worse)I will call my rheumy tommorow.Thanks for the help katie.

take care

Praying you are on the mend soon Rob. I know they have all these side effects

listed and we never seem to know what is really a problem and what is just

something they list so the manufacturer has their butts covered just in case. If

one person in 50 million gets a side effect while taking the med, they will list

it as a possibility even if they aren't sure it was the drug that caused it. So

frustrating.
