As a follow-up to my post earlier today about my daughter's sever...

The doctor who prescribes this med is responsible for doing a safety check FIRST! these docs get "kickbacks" from drug companies and reps that take fabulous lunches to their office.
I am suing Bayer pharmaceutical but should have sued my doc too! I NEVER took avelox prior but had taken Cipro!
The law is THE LEARNED INTERMEDIARY DOCTRINE which puts all responsibility on doctor to ask important questions and give PROPER directions for use! I also suffered a TOXIC reaction on day 3 of Avelox in 2003!! My life has been drastically changed. I have asthma,seizures which AVELOX CAUSES!!!! Also have had double vision with decreased visual acuity and dramatic progression of degenerative disc disease. my body feels old as dirt! I,m a DISABLED nurse.
All VICTIMS of AVELOX:REPORT EVENT TO FDAMEDWATCH.GOV
REPORT EVENT TO BAYER,MAKING SURE YOU STATE EVERYTHING AND EVERY SYMPTOM. THEY TAPE RECORD. I FELT IMPENDING DOOM THE NIGHT BEFORE THE ANAPHYLACTIC REACTION! MAKE SURE YOU MENTION THAT FEAR OF UNKNOWN GET COPIES OF ALL MEDICAL RECORDS.
HOPE YOUR PRESCRIBING DOC WROTE A NOTE IN YOUR CHART THAT HE GAVE YOU SAMPLES. IN FACT, I WAS AN OFFICE NURSE AND ALL SAMPLES GIVEN OUT HAD TO BE ENTERED IN THE SAMPLE LOG BOOK, JACHO-JOINT ACCREDITATION OF HOSPITALS REQUIRE ALL OFFICES TO DOCUMENT ALL SAMPLES. NICE TO KNOW IF DOCS WON,T BE TOO HELPFUL! ASK THEM IF THEY ARE JACHO ACCREDITED?? I AM SHOCKED THAT LAWYERS AREN,T ADVERTISING ON TV ABOUT THIS TOXIC DRUG STILL ON THE MARKET. BAYER HAS MADE MILLIONS. DOCS KNOW AVELOX SHOULD NOT BE THE FIRST CHOICE OF ANTIBIOTIC!!
I CAN,T FIND A LAWYER TO TAKE MY CASE AND I WAS IN A BRAIN FOG FOR 1 1/2 YRS!!! I FILED A PERSONAL INJURY/PRODUCT LIABILITY CIVIL CASE FOR TRIAL PRO SE'.
PLEASE KEEP ME INFORMED OF STATUS. LET,S HELP EACH OTHER! GOOD LUCK BURNSY133@VERIZON.NET

GET COPIES OF ER AND HOSPITAL RECORDS.
ADMISSION AND DISCHARGE NOTES.
COPIES OF DOCTOR,S PROGRESS NOTES BEFORE THEY CONVENIENTLY DISAPPEAR!
FDA(FOIA) REQUEST IN WRITING ALL ADVERSE EVENT REPORTS(AERS)ON AVELOX. THEY MAY CHARGE. THEY WERE VERY HELPFUL TO ME.
IN 2005, I RECEIVED A CD CONTAINING 6900(SIXTY NINE HUNDRED SERIOUS AERS. THERE WERE CONSIDERABLE DEATHS AND DISABILITIES RELATED TO AVELOX ALTHOUGH BAYER DENIES THIS!!
BY NOW, THE REPORTS ARE LIKELY INCREASED BY MANY HUNDREDS AND POSSIBLY THOUSAND.
I HAVE AN EXPERT TOXICOLOGIST,DR. JAMES DAHLGREN, WHO HAS STATED AVELOX CAUSED MY ASTHMA AND SEIZURE DISORDER. FIND A LAWYER AND FIND AN EXPERT TOXICOLOGIST BECAUSE TOXIC AND ANAPHYLACTIC REACTIONS DIFFER.
I EXPERIENCE LARYNGOSPASMS AND MY THROAT BECOMES PARALYZED. I REACT TO DOGS,CATS,PINE TREES,PERFUMES,CANDLES,NONE OF WHICH EVER BOTHERED ME BEFORE AVELOX.LET,S DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS!!
