Cipro FDA Warns Public Regarding Cipro: Find a Cipro Lawyer & Attorney.

Millions of people depend on antibiotic medication for a variety of reasons, but most use them to fight infections that seem to be growing in severity and prevalence.  As a result, pharmaceutical companies have continued to pour money into research and development of antibiotic medication that helps patients fight these problems.

One of the drugs that’s emerged as a leader within this group is known as Cipro, which is certainly well-known with the American public.  Cipro is manufactured by Bayer, a true giant in the pharmaceutical industry.  Cipro earned distinction in the period that followed the terrorist attacks of 9/11, as it proved effective in fighting the anthrax disease that was contained in several mailings subsequent to those attacks.

In fact, the federal government gave a tacit endorsement of Cipro after that period, as the government admitted to securing doses of Cipro to have on-hand in case any additional biological attacks were encountered in the future.

In terms of everyday use, Cipro is administered to patients who are fighting difficult infections of all sorts, most prominently urinary tract infections, as it’s been proved to be effective in killing off the antibodies that work to advance these maladies.

Problems Encountered with Cipro: Tendonitis and rupturing tendons

Unfortunately for Cipro and for the millions of people who have used it for any purpose, reports began to surface that linked the use of Cipro with the tendency to develop serious side effects, including tendonitis and the rupturing of tendons in the body.  Tendonitis is a painful and sometimes chronic condition where the patient feels discomfort in almost any area of the body, and ruptured tendons lead to an immediate problem that requires surgery to repair the problem.

As a result, the FDA has issued a statement that Bayer is now required to issue a “Black Box” warning that’s to be attached to all of its containers, and this is the most serious warning that the FDA can require.  If you or someone you love has been injured as a result of using Cipro, you need to contact a defective drugs attorney as soon as possible to get the process of evaluating and, if advisable, enforcing your rights started.
