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.....

Cipro is incredibly effective when prescribed properly. I have it for kidney infections. No side effects at all. Yours isn't on the approved list of conditions for Cipro- so that may be why it made you have side effects. It should not be banned you should get a second opinion next time and research before taking prescribed mess.
