I was prescribed CIPROFLAXACIN 500 mg 28 tablets twice a day. I developed Achilles tendon on my right leg while playing volleyball. I am using crutches and off from work with short term disability. This drug did not cure my existing problem but created new problem. Even when such side effects were known to the Physicians and Pharmacists I was not made aware of this. As a United States of American citizen I am requesting FDA to please ban such drugs that cause such side effects.

You are a moron who needs to be the victim of natural selection. First of all, you didn't develop an achillis tendon playing volleyball, you were born with one, as every other "american citizen" is. Secondly, as with every medication prescribed by any physician, the instructions say very clearly that if you develop any adverse reaction to the use of the medication, stop taking it and consult your doctor. Go play in traffic

28 tablets twice a day????

I took this medication recently and in the pamphlet that was stapled to the bag (with Cipro inside) the warnings clearly stated that people could suffer tendon damage. I took that to mean to be ginger if I were to exercise, so I was very careful. I also looked up Cipro on the 'net to read more about it before I took any of the pills. I didn't rely on a pharmacist or anyone but myself to educate myself. If you played a rigorous game of volleyball while on that medication, wellllll.....
