Well that may sheds some light on things. We have no experience with that drug but we have found that you cannot rely on your doctor or pharmacist to know all the drug side effects. Many do not experience adverse side effects so they get comfortable with prescribing a certain medicine.
I would take the prescription but tell the doctor that I will look into it before actually filling it and will call if I have any questions. We found that doctors are very comfortable prescribing Levaquin as a first line therapy antibiotic when a less troublesome antibiotic would be a better choice for John. Levaquin impacts the central nervous system and causes tendon ruptures, both of which John has issues with.
I hope you get some answers today. Good luck.
