Popular Antibiotics "Ciprofloaxin" Carries Severe Side Effect by olarhtunji(m): 8:55pm On Oct 13, 2015 |
I was prescribed a drug called ciprofloaxin for thyphoid fever after taking these drugs I had the worst feelings of my life though it help cure the sickness but I suffered from severe chronic insomnia I could not sleep for almost a week,brain fog,pain in my eyes,dizziness,constipation,sour throat,indigestion,anxiety and so on.i went to the hospital on multiple occasion and they told me to do several tests and could not find whats wrong.i got fed up and did a little research myself on the drug and found out it was the one causing all these and i had to stop it inmediately but today some of them have cared up from eating fruits and exercise but the insomnia is yet to go but I sleep Ok not to my normal standard of sleeping but in of for me to survive.....only if I had read through the pamphlet in the medicine case I would be very ok and normal HERES MY RESEARCH ON THE DRUG PLEASE BEWARE AND BE SAFE...THERE ARE OTHER METHODS OF TREATING WHATEVER HEALNESS YOU MIGHT HAVE THAN THESE DRUGS THEY ARE USED FOR LAST RESORT I.E IN THE MATTER OF LIFE AND DEATH Fluoroquinolones, a class of synthetic antibacterial drugs, are the only types that directly inhibit bacterial DNA synthesis. Several drugs in this class have been taken off the market due to their deadly adverse effects, but six of them remain FDA-approved for use in the United States: Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) Levofloxacin (Levaquin) Gemifloxacin (Factive) Moxifloxacin (Avelox) Norfloxacin (Noroxin) Ofloxacin (Floxin) Due to their tremendous health risks, fluoroquinolones should be reserved for treating serious bacterial infections that won't respond to any other treatment, when the patient is made fully aware of the potential for serious adverse events. Instead, they're often inappropriately prescribed for mild conditions like sinus, urinary tract and ear infections. In fact, fluoroquinolones are among the most commonly prescribed antibiotics in the United States. I highly recommend you take pause before filling a prescription for these drugs, especially if you have a "routine infection" that has not been treated by other agents that have a safer side effect profile. You should not expose yourself to this degree of risk unnecessarily! The dangerousness of fluoroquinolones definitely warrants some serious discourse with your health care provider about whether they are really necessary, versus safer treatment options. Fluoridated Pharmaceuticals Can Be Extremely Damaging to Your Nervous System Fluoroquinolones may be the deadliest antibiotics on the market. Besides nerve damage, they have been associated with damage to other body systems, including your musculoskeletal system, eyes and kidneys. What makes these particular drugs so hazardous? It has to do with the fact that fluoroquinolones are antibiotics whose potency has been "kicked up" by the addition of a fluoride molecule. Fluoride increases permeability into hard-to- penetrate tissues, such as your brain. Fluoroquinolones are quinolones with fluoride molecules attached—so they penetrate your blood- brain barrier. This ability to penetrate sensitive tissues is what makes fluoride such a potent neurotoxin, able to get into your brain and damage your central nervous system. In terms of peripheral neuropathy, the FDA was not exactly quick to take action. Twelve years ago Dr. Jay Cohen documented the following fluoroquinolone-related reactions, and as you can see, nervous system problems topped the list. Yet it took more than a decade—and many destroyed lives—for the FDA to take action. Nervous system symptoms occurred in 91 percent of patients taking fluoroquinolones (pain, tingling and numbness, dizziness, malaise, weakness, headaches, anxiety and panic, loss of memory, psychosis) Musculoskeletal symptoms in 73 percent of patients (tendon ruptures, tendonitis, weakness, joint swelling) Sensory symptoms in 42 percent of patients (tinnitus, altered visual, olfactory, and auditory function) Cardiovascular symptoms in 36 percent of patients (tachycardia, shortness of breath, chest pain, palpitations) Skin reactions in 29 percent of patients (rashes, hair loss, sweating, intolerance to heat or cold) Gastrointestinal symptoms in 18 percent of patients (nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, abdominal pain) Levaquin, the best-selling antibiotic in 2010, actually faces thousands of lawsuits per year from people who have been seriously harmed by taking it. The serious reactions reported from Levaquin include: Retinal detachment, which can cause blindness Hallucinations Nausea and diarrhea Acute kidney failure Psychotic reactions Hearing problems Brain fog Painful rashes Disruptions to blood sugar metabolism Depression Phototoxicity Peripheral neuropathy Fluoroquinolones Destroy Collagen Animal studies have shown that fluoroquinolones are directly toxic to collagen synthesis and promote collagen degradation. Fluoride disrupts collagen synthesis, which may be part of the reason that fluoridated pharmaceuticals can damage your muscles, tendons, cartilage, ligaments and other structures. The fluoroquinolones seem to have an especially detrimental effect on your musculoskeletal system, presumably related to this adverse effect on collagen, which can lead to tendon damage and actual tendon ruptures . This resulted in the FDA's issuing of a black box warning about tendon damage in 2008. Fluoroquinolones are not the only drugs "suped up" by the addition of a fluoride molecule. Prozac (fluoxetine), Prevacid, Baycol , and Dalmane (flurazepam) are also fluorinated. If you or someone you love are placed on these dangerous antibiotics, for whatever reason, one of the ways you can compensate for this toxicity is by taking magnesium. It likely binds to the drugs and prevents it from causing the collagen damage. In fact animal studies have shown that magnesium deficient animals can develop similar damage to those exposed to fluroquinolone drugs. Lack of extracellular magnesium impairs the function of integrins which are transmembrane proteins that connect the cells to the extracellular matrix proteins which provide the functional strength for collagen.

The worst part is that most doctors and nurses don't observe for side effects . They'll even tell you to continue taking those drugs even if you complain about strange feelings . |

Thank you for this article. It's a known fact that reliance on antibiotics is detrimental to our health and as such I will always recommend a natural alternative or better still supplements from the organic origin. To start with, typhoid can be treated with pawpaw seeds from a ripe friut, you boil the seeds, allow it to simmer and sieve it. Take the liquid on empty stomach preferably. I have not taken panadol in 2years to the Glory of God. Nature has everything we need for health and healing. NB: I also like the fact that you laid emphasis on flouride and it's side effects. Please lets go on google to educate us on it. The toothpastes commonly used contain flouride and its injurious to health. Some will acknowledge that our grandfather's have been taking it but forgets to know that our nutrition has been altered. For more info contact me on whatsapp via 08189699388 |
