Delayed reaction to CIPRO
6 weeks after a 12 day course 2 x500 mg ciprofloxacin
-- By sr166 | Reply | Private Message meI developed serious knee joint pain, which caused me (22, M)to seek medical help at the ED.
CONCLUSION by M.D: A link between the drug and the joint
pain cannot be excluded.
CONCLUSION by me: The use of these drugs will cause
arthrosis deformans in a great proportion of patients (in 10 to 30 years).
CIPRO appears to be "safest" of the quinolones, as confirmed by animal testing.
However, other potent antibiotics such as Metronadizole are
not much better in terms of ADVR.
