Antibiotics and onset of MDS
When I was diagnosed with Diverticulitis in May (pre MDS diagnosis) I was prescribed 2000 mg Metronidazole/day plus 200 mg Cipro/day. I have been doing some research and learned that Metronidazole and Cirpro can cause bone marrow depression/aplasia. Sometimes the symptoms reverse when the meds are stopped and sometimes they do not. I am wondering if anybody knows anything about the connection between antibiotics and bone marrow aplasia?
