Has anyone taken Ciprofloxacin for pseudomonas? How did it go?
I have been watching a lot of Youtube videos on Cipro and the Black Box side effects mentioned are numerous. So far I have not read anything like that here.

I keep reading online that the tendon issues with ciprofloxen and levafloxin are very rare, yet there are so many on this forum who have had problems. I’m scared to use it😳
@sarahlynn1960 I understand your feeling because it is easy to get paranoid when you read these horror stories people have gone through with NTMs, MAC, etc. However, studies have shown repeatedly that people with negative experiences will write more reviews than people who have positive ones. I realize these are not "reviews" like on Amazon but I am presuming the same thing holds true here. I hope I am right.
@sarahlynn1960 As @picartist said, those who have no issues are not posting here or elsewhere, they are out living their lives. Keep that in mind as you read about their issues.
I find it more helpful to read carefully on drugs.com or webmd.com and look at the actual rates of verious side effects.
