I'm on my fourth day of Avelox now and am not having any of the specific side effects everyone is mentioning. I'm not looking forward to them, either.
I do think it is interesting that most folks are taking Avelox with some form of prednisolone. (prednizone, medrol). Look up the huge numbers of of side effects for this particular drug! You may need an actual PDR to get a complete listing, but the gastric effects are definitely B-A-D (I know about this first-hand) and the ultimate outcome for those on high doses for any length of time is usually renal failure unless cardiac failure gets you first.
I was on high doses of Medrol for a decade -- 15 years later I am still dealing with what that medicine did to my body and health.
Anyway, the combination of Avelox and Pred is likely NOT good.
