The drug Cipro has been linked to achilles tendon rupture, other tendon rupture, tendonitis and other tendon related injury. Cipro is an antibiotic in the fluorquinolone class that as a whole has been linked to tendon rupture related injuries. Tendon rupture caused by Cipro can lead to surgery and is notably painful.
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.
