Hi Wendy.....yeah that entire class of drugs is on the "do not use" list for John unless he's in life threatening situation. He has peripheral neuropathies and when he was on the cipro last year, it made it worse for a while. I think Levaquin is the worst though and the docs seems to use it as a first line of defense instead of other older classes of drugs that have less adverse side effects and are just as effective.
