My eighty year old wife wa given ten Avelox tabs and told to take them one each day for her lung infection. She has taken them five days along with a cough syrup which contains codeine. The result is that she has been sleeping about eighteen out of every twenty=four hours. After finding this site, I stopped her from taking ant more of them.

If I were you, I'd find a new doctor! A good doctor should recognize that these medicines are much too dangerous to give to anybody, much less an 80 year old woman. Don't ever let them give her any fluoroquinolones again. Levaquin and Cipro are some of the other fluoroquinolone drugs that are very dangerous. For more information on these drugs, go to www.fqresearch.org or www.fluoroquinolones.org. Good luck and I will pray for your wife.
