This is not a side effect but some good news. I saw yesterday on television that the FDA is being forced to put a Black Box warning on the antibiotic Levaquin. This is going to force doctors to recognize the dangers of this drug and that the side effects are more widespread than they are being told by the FDA.....D.

I wish I could be so positive about this. This ruling was first released in July '08 and as you can see, the boxed warning has not been included yet. There are all sorts of issues and ways that Big Pharma can manipulate this to their favor and they are doing so. I was thrilled when I first heard about it but like most things, the reality of the implementation leaves a lot to be desired. In addition, the doctors circled the wagons and continue with the party line that "it's a rare occurrence". The best thing we can do is spread the word ourselves. Stand on a mountain and tell the world. This is poison, plain and simple.
