Avelox Side Effects
Can be Permanently Disabling

Avelox and Avelox Side Effects

I'm glad that you asked because if you don't know what Avelox is, then you don’t know about the very serious Avelox Side Effects that you could experience and that can and have caused permanent disabling problems for a small percentage of users.

Avelox, also called Moxifloxacin, is an antibiotic that is in the family of Fluoroquinolone and Quinolone Antibiotics along with:

Ciprofloxacin(Cipro)
Levaquin (Levofloxacin)
Ofloxacin
And other drugs that end in 'floxin' or 'floxacin'

This drug can be given by pill or you might have received it in the hospital by the intravenous route if you were very sick with an infection. It is used for serious infections such as:

 

Pneumonia

H Pylori Bacteria

Urinary Tract Infections

Tuberculosis

MRSA Skin Infections

Surgical Infections

and many other infections depending upon the offending bacteria causing the problem. While the Quinolone Antibiotics and drugs such as Moxifloxacin may be effective and necessary in the case of life threatening infections, there is a dark side to Avelox side effects that you absolutely MUST know about if you have or someone that you love has taken this drug, are currently taking it or have had it prescribed to you and haven't taken it yet. This drug has some seriously problematic and potentially permanently disabling side effects...

Avelox Side Effects

The Common Side Effects of Avelox are the same as most other Antibiotic Side Effects. Problems such as:

Diarrhea
C Difficile Infection
Candida Overgrowth

Are easily avoided by making sure to take a high quality probiotic such as Prescript Assist Probiotics during and after you are taking the antibiotic therapy. It's not the common side effects that are worrisome, however, it is the uncommon side effects that are incredibly worrisome.

Black Box Warning for Avelox Side Effects

A 'Black Box Warning' for any drug is the STRONGEST warning that can be given by the FDA for letting health care practitioners and the public know about the dangers of a particular drug. Avelox, as do ALL of the Quinolone Antibiotics, DOES have a black box warning for the problem of tendon rupture in a small amount of people.

While this problem, known as Cipro Tendonitis or Levaquin Tendonitis no matter which quinolone antibiotic caused it, is considered 'rare', when millions of prescriptions for Quinolone Antibiotics are being written every year, even if less than 1/2 of 1% of people are affected (usually considered a 'low' rate of problems), this could lead to tens of thousands of cases of Levaquin Tendonitis every year. And with the drug still being on the market this means that EACH year tens of thousands MORE people are being affected every year.

Levaquin Tendonitis and Tendon Rupture

What exactly IS Levaquin Tendonitis? It is one of the Avelox Side Effects and it actually causes direct damage to the cells and the DNA of tendons, cartilage and other connective tissue of the body.

This Levaquin Tendon Damage can cause anything from no symptoms at all, to slight pain that goes away by itself in a short time - to complete RUPTURE of the tendon requiring surgery to repair.

Yes, I said Tendon Rupture- from an Antibiotic!!

Levaquin Toxicity is Another Problem

Unfortunately, tendon damage and rupture are not the ONLY Avelox side effect that can be painful, uncomfortable and disabling- sometimes for life. A condition that is known as 'Levaquin Toxicity' by those who suffer from it causes an entire spectrum of problems including:

Neurologic symptoms such as difficulty walking, slurred speech, numbness and pain to the feet

Circulation Problems such as coldness and loss of sensation to hands and feet

Vision and hearing loss

Pain in: muscles, joints, tendons or just all over body pain

Mood problems like anxiety, depression, panic attacks and insomnia

And the symptoms go on and on. Even worse, this 'syndrome' is not even recognized as having been caused by the Quinolone Antibiotics and therefore the entire medical profession denies that this problem exists while tens of thousands suffer, get told that it is in their head or get diagnosed with problems like 'Fibromyalgia' and 'Chronic Fatigue Syndrome' that doctors have no real tests for and that they are equally ineffective at helping people suffering from these.

Low Risk for Your DOCTOR!

Doctors, the FDA and researchers consistently state that there is a low risk of Avelox Side Effects. While this might be true for THEM, it seems like a lot higher risk when it's YOU you might have to be the one to live with the long-term Side Effects.

To further this problem, there is just absolutely no way to know ahead of time exactly WHO is going to be the 'Rare' person to experience these problems with Avelox and the other Quinolone antibiotics. With less than 1% of people who become disabled , chances are that it's not going to happen to you. But unlike in Las Vegas, if you lose -you lose a LOT more than your money. Only YOU can decide if the risk is worth it and you can only make a real decision if you have the actual facts.

There are many many people out there who are suffering from the side effects of Moxifloxacin, Levaquin and Cipro who now say, "If I would have known that there was even a possibility of this happening, I would have never taken that drug." Well, I'm here to inform you that there IS a possibility- however remote.
