This time i took avelox, about a month ago it worked great, worked better then the other antibiotic they gave be and had to replace. Caught a bad cold with laryngitis again. This time taking avelox, before i took the last pill i started to get severe pains in my right hand, my mouse hand which i use all day as i work on a computer all day. But later i researched on drugs.com and tendon problems including tendon rupture are some of the side effects. GREAT, my doctor knows i work at a call center. Called pharmacist, they told me to stop immediately, even though im on the last pill. Sucks that Ibuprofen gives tendon problems when mixed with avelox. wish me luck it doesn't rupture since ive already take 800mg of IB's twice today.
