The makers of cipro and producers need more than getting sued they need to be sentenced to death for crimes against humanity!

15 years ago I had a bad case of prostate infection. It was so tight I could not pee at all. Ended up in ER. They put in catheter to empty my super extended bladder. I was sent home with catheter line tied to my lower leg going into plastic bag. They prescribed CIPRO for for 10 days. I did not bother reading paperwork that came with it. I trusted my urologist. My infection got better but I did have weird side effects. Page forward to 2023. I felt I had UTI. Urologist took the urine sample and said that I did have infection. He also put me on CIPRO. Went to my pharmacy to get it and the only thing pharmacist tole me was to stay away from direct sunlight. I read 8 pages of paperwork that was included listing all the possible side effects. t read like a horror story of the worst kind...8 pages !!! One of the ingredients is Polyethylene Glycol commonly found in antifreeze (coolant for your car) which is deadly if ingested by people or animals. If this is the best science can do, I'll go to a witch doctor. Why was this drug authorized?

This is the poison that started my paranoia with medicine and doctors. I wish I never took this thing. There needs to be a serious class action lawsuit around the world.

I was just prescribed this and no one not even my doctor warned me of any of this

I was curious what this stuff was after watching one of MrBallen’s video

After I took Cipro, just one dose, I woke up and couldn’t move. Within 45 minutes it happened. I changed to a different antibiotic and was ok. After another uti, I was prescribed it a second time not knowing that was the problem. Again, within an hour I couldn’t move my body and couldn’t even talk. Thankfully, I was very lucky and I was able to move again after a couple of hours. I immediately called my doctor and my pharmacist to tell them to NEVER give me that again. I even got a medical alert bracelet stating I’m allergic to it. It was that scary. There’s much safer antibiotics out there that you should use. Western medicine can be so scary

The doctor gave me antibiotic twice and I told him that everything was hurting and he told me I was crazy. I was so active but after this my life chance , I couldn’t exercise , is too painful Now I don't feel alone any more because I can see that sadly this happened to alot of people.

I was prescribed these for a “uti” back in 2020 and my life has been hell ever since. I have pains in my lower abdomen and bladder area. Feels almost like a constant pressure/congestion. Nothing down there feels normal anymore. Its only been two years since and ive had on and off uncomfortable aches and pains.

Took cipro for a month, every joint in my body was in pain and started having panic attacks. Started taking it right after I first started going to the gym and assumed all the pain was normal from working out. That was years ago, I’m 28 now and walking barefoot on hard surfaces is unbearable. Knees and calves hurt every day at work. Can’t raise my left hand straight in the air without it feeling like I’m gonna dislocate my shoulder. Tell doctors this is going on and I’m pretty sure it’s from cipro, they test me for arthritis, it comes back negative, write a script for Tylenol and send me home

How can they STILL be able to sell this???

It's crazy how some prescription drugs can effect people differently. I took Cipro for the full 10days as directed and not one single issue or side effect. This really put things into perspective for me because you never know how your body will react and if the pill/capsule you take, could be your very last time being alive!... 😔

It affects the brain. Neurological damage causes devastating psychological changes reflecting the damage. Even if you don't feel the pain, you will experience the grief of loss.

I was just prescribed this and thank God I decided to look it up.

And marijuana remains illegal.....

There was a man who died from peripheral neuropathy. He didnt sleep for 4 months and he was taking this to cure his UTI. It is suspected that this drug is what killed him

Please share, I also was floxed. It's been 8 yrs and counting worst time of my life. This poison is still on the shelf waiting to cripple patients mentally and physically. Beware may blessings be upon you.

I had a wisdom tooth emergency and I was prescribed this by ER doctor. After the first dose, I had extreme diarrhea and then nausea. I could not keep any food in me on top of my already painful face. By the 5th day I had lost 10lbs and could no longer walk straight. I walked into the ER and they thought I had Corona virus but I had to insist it was the antibiotic. They sent a culture to the lab and then they diagnosed me with CDAD. The condition was wrecking havoc on my intestines and kidneys and I was dehydrated. They gave me another 2 antibiotics; one to fix my now UTI because of cipro and one to deal with my wisdom tooth. In addition I had painkillers and one for nausea. They also gave me probiotics but my body couldn't handle them. I'll nvr take that again.

Omg, the last day of my rx I went into acute psychosis where I was perfectly calm but I had the strong urge to walk into the road in front of one of the semis that go by. That easily could've been me. I knew I was reacting to the poison because it was so sudden and unusual but it really was a strong urge to do that and I was almost in a euphoric state. It's very scary.

I took Levaquin a couple of months ago. It gave me severe leg pain and seems to have affected my memory.

It killed my father. Shut down his kidneys and liver.

I am DEVASTED!!! I'm going through this now after being given Cipro TWICE in the same year. My neuropathy is debilitating!!! The brain fog is eve worse than the neuropathy, as bad as it is. I want this STOPPED. People are dying, I'M DYING!!!!

Deadly. Cipro disabled me and killed my friend . She took herself to an assisted dying clinic to end her pain. Where is the outrage ?

Just got an Rx from the ER nurse have it to me. No one including Dr spoke to me about it yet the DR was not busy I think I was the only one there. Of course I got a lecture on the dangers of herbal medicine I'm taking.

I’m having severe side effect omg so scary, dizziness shortness of breath, very weak, tired fatigue and a whole lot

I just got done taking cipro 2x a day 500 mgs for 9 1/2 days...I had trouble breathing and still cannot sleep beyond an hour or so...then my UTI came back and now I am on Keflex. It was a real trip to hell...also anxiety. I ordered some magnesium that should be here in a few days. I hope it helps...

I had taken Cipro several times. The last time, my whole body broke out in hives, then blisters. Then my dead skin sloughed off ,causing my whole body to itch. I was in hospital for 8 days.

Now I know this, I’ll never take this antibiotic if it is offered to me and I’ll advise my family to do the same. If there is another antibiotic out there that does the same job but without the side effects I’ll happily take that. Personally with side effects like these, these drugs should only be used as a last resort when someone is potentially at death’s door. Why else would you take a risk like that?

Who’s here from Mr Ballen

I have sever pain pain I can't walk most of the time, my grandmother was bedridden, I believe this was from this medicine.My legs are killing me, I truly am at a loss of what to do.

Has anyone posted about a Class Action Lawsuit or something about this? I knew the name sounded familiar, I was prescribed this last year, and have known I felt "off" for a while now. If there's not one, there needs to be one now!

Ban Cipro!!!!!

Most Doctors are not aware of the side effects, or don't believe there are any. I took it 7 years ago, went from power walking for over 10 years 6 day a week, to hardly being able to walk. I have improved, but will never be the same. Don't take it, I have heard if it doesn't effect you at first over time it will.

I took Ciprofloxacin in 2014 and I see now how lucky I was for nothing happened to me

Is this the same cipro-T that is prescribed for UTIs.... Coz I took them and I feel so bad

I refused this just 2 months ago. My urologist was checking me out for a turp. When I refused the drug the PA argued with me acussing me of thinking I knew more than him. I simply said I have read the paperwork that comes with it and I don't want it. So they gave nothing. I'm recovering OK from the turp but still have an infection. I just had a urine test and plan to take the results to another doctor and try to get an antibiotic that works without destroying my life.

I tear tendons and ligaments from head to toe almost every day. I took antibiotics for 2days. I can’t believe this nightmare.

I'm not taking this pill after watching this video. I was diagnosed with chronic bacterial prostatitis. My doctor prescribed this antibiotic for a period of 2 months. Hell no 🤦🏾‍♂️. I'm gonna try other stuff. God bless you all.

took a single dose, couldn't feel my entire arm and could barely lift it as well as leg weakness with extreme nausea and diarrhea. :(

I was prescribed Ciprofloxacin, after the first dosage you start to think that it's the infection that is making you feel worst, body aches , unable to sleep, thirsty all the time, barely able to move, fever was up and down all night no matter if I took ibuprofen.

I couldn't walk and took about 4 months to get better about a year to fully heal. I took it a couple years prior and nothing happened. The second time I took it did the damage.

The FDA should un-approve this drug.

I was prescribed this and I told my doctor…I’m not comfortable about the reviews

I noticed it's the individual drug company formula that's the problem. Cipo in it's original form was fabulous. But over the years of using different ingredients to make the cipo has gone wild. As with other name brand drugs. ... It's like a recipe for Chocolate Chip cookies. It made in different ways and ingredients. Different companies still label as the same product but it's different. . Also a generic is close to original but has different ingredients. Also, over years the original formula could change within any company. Can anyone test to see what in the drug prescriptions fromula many companies use then compared to the Cipro original formula?

That's sad, that was one of my favorite antibiotics I never had any side effects from it

What about extreme fatigue? I was so wiped out I decided to stop taking it and take my chances. I could barely do anything while taking this. I went to the Urgent center and the doctor didn’t hear anything I said and just said “finish it.”Nope! I couldn’t walk or even get up. Plus I had a fever of 101°. Next time I just eliminate the trip to the doctor altogether and I’ll figure it out myself. Sometimes they really don’t know anything.

My son took cipro 500 mg at the age of 19. Only 5 doses paralyzed him. It’s been three years nothing can be done and can’t do anything, walk, stand more than one minute and bend lift, talk for too long. Doctors don’t know anything about the treatments. We have no one to help us. No where to to get the treatment for this. It all started after taking the cipro. Anyone can help? Very intelligent, sports man and a college student now literally paralyzed.

It is also described as a chemotherapy drug.Was anyone aware of this when it was given to them?I can not walk right now.

I have irreversible tingling and numbness from this drug. My life is hell.

Teaspoon of baking soda in a 12/16 oz glass on monday then friday is what im doing for bladder pain and its feeling better in 2 days ! Only side effect is salty tasting so hold your nose and down it. Works great for upset stomach and also raises your PH . If you hav low PH you will be sick so ck it and get it to 7.5/8

They should ban this! Wtf FDA

I just got this and I'm about to throw it away

I found this bc I’m currently taking cipro and I’m experiencing symptoms of renal failure. I’m getting therapy for anger and depression and in the last week it got really really bad. Worse than ever. I didn’t consider the cipro could be playing a role 😬 I have to stop taking the medication anyway but this really open my eyes! Reading comments... also I’ve been 5 nights with no sleep. I didn’t consider it could be the cipro!

I’m sorry, they encourage PATIENTS to discuss the risks and benefits with their doctor?? We’re taught as a society to trust our providers-that they will disclose any potential concerns associated with our treatments. The onus is not on the patients to be skeptical enough of healthcare professionals that they have to draw out information like this when they can’t possibly know, without some medical background, that they’re not getting all the information they need.

steer clear of this antibiotic it is severe and has effects on joints in the body.......couldn`t turn my head as the drug had an effect on related joints. don`t ignore this video...i have met others who had problems too.

I can't take it, it messed with my head too, but first time I watched this video

I was told the side effects are "rare" but nah man, this shit sucks. It's so painful.

I never had any issues until I accidentally took two doses hours apart then waited 12 hours after to take yet another . now the back of my ankle hurts , my right arm is weak and I have major dizziness / fatigue . I'm Going on 3 days thank God I had the intuition to leave the rest out despite the doctor telling me to take the whole 10 days

side effects, at least 3 months at most the rest of your life of excruciating pain which may drive you to suicide, joint and tendon locking and excruciating pain accompanied with it, paralysis. death due to jumping off a building, jumping out infront of cars or trains, injuries to the head or heart due to a firearm. overdosing on pills.

I just took this for pneumonia. I didn’t finish taking it because it started making me feel weird in the head. It’s been 3 days and I feel very weak, but im recovering. Don’t take this crap yall

My mom's body deteriorated after taking this she's gone gone never ever take this drug

What is the best and safest antibiotic if this is dangerous ??

Cipro is the only antibiotic I can take to clear up my chronic uti infection. The only side effect I had was dysentery.

I think a lot of people have mental problems and they're blaming it on these antibiotics.

Biggest mistake of my life. Ive been suffering from insane anxiety for a week I really hope it will go away!

My jaw just dropped! Am takin this and I can't even function at work and nigth the burning feeling inside of me is unbearable

This shit is real, year ago i was prescribed this cprofloxacin, after 1 week continue consume this med, one night after consume ,, suddenly i got difficulty of breathing, like i were gonna die, n vomit after that, and one year later, i still got this breathing issue, damn

I used 3 weeks of cipro for suspected prostatitis "even urine negaitve" then 4 tablets of Bactrim 4 days ago , then started to have extreme cold feet symptoms and stopped all medications now, how long Cipro/Bactrim Cold feet effect should last :(. I have read that these Floxies can affect nerves and cause damage! Been one month out and still getting tingling and cold feet :(.

Why would you keep taking it, when you are having side effects?

Took 12 of these back in August 2020, was ment to take 20 of them but couldn't, because I couldn't eat at all and had bad bad stomach issues that last a long time as well as I noticed I couldn't run the way I use to as it felt like my bones wore weak and sore, right now I'm in pain everywhere. All this because I had a dull ache in my abdominal area that the docs never examined or looked into, just gave me these without saying a word, I thought this is good antibiotics will clean up anything I have in me, nope they Fked me up.

the real problem is we are using old medicines, 1. because they are used against bacteria that have now evolved and are capable to become resistant to all current production antibiotics, and 2. because of the severe side effects all of them cause. It is unthinkable and not tolerable that we use 40 years old medicines in 2023 when it would be possible to develop drugs that cause fewer side effects and less severe ones too by being more effective and safe. There are a lot of alternatives to develop: new antibiotics, phages, vaccines, peptides and enzymes, monoclonal therapy (it is just a matter of scaling it to make it less expensive), quorum sensing inhibitors. None of these solutions are developed because, unlike antidepressants that are taken indefinitely, drugs to cure infections are taken for a week or so and this makes less profit for pharmaceutical industries, and since it costs a lot to develop a new drug it is not economically convenient. If this wasn't enough, any time we are so lucky to get a new antibiotic for hospital use only, doctors limit its usage as much as possible to avoid increasing bacterial drug resistance which further limits demand and profits. It is an economic problem. Maybe I'm pessimistic but I think we will need a lot of deaths by superbugs or side effects to increase the demand for new drugs and make it economically convenient to develop them and produce them, this is how stupid we are as human beings! And please do not take antibiotics for a flu because they do not work against viruses, and please take them for the entire duration of the cure as indicated by your doctor because taking them for less and with no reason further increases resistance and makes them increasingly less effective starting from the evil bacteria in your body and then for everyone else too. I'm so angry and I hate everything about the current antibiotic situation

I was took off Levaquin because I could not keep it down and put in the hospital from running a 104 temp with a double kidney infection and also infection in my blood stream, started feeling a lil better after the next morning in the hospital, well the Dr. On the floor I was on decided to take me off the IV antibiotics that was working so well and send me home with Cipro!! This was the worst mistake she made because I’ve only taken 3 of the Cipro and I can not move or turn my head in any direction, also a massive headache! This drug is horrible and I hope it’s not to late for this problem to go away. If anyone has experienced this PLEASE HELP, I need advice, Thank You

I'VE USED THIS STUFF FOR 2 COURSES TOTALING 2 WEEKS AND HAVE BEEN IN HOSPITAL ALREADY WITH CHEST PAIN, LUNG PAIN , AND RINGING IN MY EARS THAT HAD ME IN VERGE OF MENTAL COLLAPSE THIS SHIT IS WICKED NO JOKE O AND INTESTINAL PAINS

Every American needs to report their side effects

Why this even exist is beyond crazy

Doctor gave me this for a kidney infection I had mild pain, soon after taking this I broke out in these red blood spots then my body starting aching then my anxiety got so bad I was thinking I had cancers and just my head was going, I only stopped taking cipro 3 days ago and my symptoms are getting worse it's making feel hopeless lost and worrying over everything I can't sleep, I don't no what to do, IV never felt this way before

I took it. My ankle hurt.

2:00, this is unbelievable..

Severe pain in all my tendons thought I was going crazy till I happened to overhear a person say her brother had committed suicide because of cipro related problems my doctors don’t want to hear about my issues was full of piss and vinegar now feel like death

Its not just this antibiotic

My mom got schizophrenia from this and acts like an autistic child. She has ptsd from this shit don't ever take this guy's ask for something else. My mom went insane and made weird sounds and claimed she was a snake and made animal sounds. Then proceeded to go crazy and make weird sounds. I miss my mom so much I cry because I will never have my mother again she is gone in the head. She acts like she is drunk and wants to do bad things.

This strong meds most likely caused a disruption in the microbiome in our gut that control your mood…meaning depression and anxiety…that medication it too strong for the gut and if you don’t know that it interferes with your gut microbiome…it will have these side affects. Anyone that has taken this…go and get your gut microbiome checked…you owe it to yourself. Your gut is 85% of who you are and everything about you is lives in your gut. Please people go and check to see what this drug did your your microbiome and maybe can reverse the symptoms. These meds are too strong for the gut to handle.🙏🏾

Is there another drug that won't do all that damage but would do the same repair

Why cipro can not be stopped?

Made me depressed and mood swings were awful thought about suicide 😢

I was given this for a UTI and few months after i woke up and was in real pain, my joints started to swell and muscles ache😔. Sadly i didn't know this was the issue as they told me i had Dengue Fever but after taking it again for another uti I realized it was the issue now im feeling all the pains i worked so hard to get rid of.😢 Any help on what to use . My fingers are swollen , my shoulders hurt and my wrist by the distal radius is swollen i cant hold things due to the pain and my knees hurt , elbow looks inflamed omg sigh😢😢

I know the secret of ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin.GOD has showed me.

I had a severe allergic reaction to CIPRO in the hospital for an ear infection . My dr there said it was not anything unusual , its just that some people get a reaction she called RedMan Syndrome !!!! omg what a liar . I had to have Benadryl . and then she wanted to give me more of it ! Are these Drs insane or what ? That they cant tell if someone breaking out with burning itching and later hives all over is allergic to the medicine ? So allergic reaction s are now called redman syndrome ?! why is that ? maybe because big pharma makes too much money

Its been 3days im taking this medications i can see some changes that my body hurts and my bones hurts in my hands and feeling burning sensation waking up with pain

The truth I have all of this including suicide thoughts !!!!!!!!!1

jk....dry ginger powder and mix it with fresh yellow lemon juice ( not bottle juice.. a real yellow lemon fruit )....eat this mixture .....and take nap for 1 hour.....all brain/nerves system..will work...great again....no more brain fog....thankyou....

Cipro ruined my life, took it in March 2019 :/

Fluoroquinolines. You can't report this properly?

Why the fuck is this being given are they crazy how about don't give these drugs at all

ITIS NOT JUST THE FLOROQUINONES! I get this awful reaction from Flagyl/metronidazole and from Keflex/cephalexin. It’s as though every last endorphin has been sucked out of my body. I want to die. I had muscle cramps in the middle of the night so bad that I almost went to emergency except that I had muscle relaxers around to help me through it, Flagyl has been on my “allergy” list since my 20s. Keflex is going on the list immediately.

I was given cypro during cancer surgery and developed DRESS syndrome almost killed me. When I look back at my time in hospital I am glad the window in my room could not open. Nasty nasty drug

I had a one antibiotic pill given to me in hospital. It was a gel cap yellow and black or green. I could feel it work within me. I picked up my filled prescription. I was in a solid circular pill form. It was the color of red clay. It had no where near the potency of the pill given to me in the hospital... Who can test the pills are truly made by ingredients to do what they claim to be? Who is holding companies to be accountabe that each drug formula is correctly made, the right potency, and safe to consume? .

My doctor just change to ciprofloaxin my antibiotics yesterday

A perfect recipe for disaster

Does ofloxocin count too? I take those pills

I take ciprodiazole component metronidazole 500mg and Ciprofloxacin 500mg and im a smoker and addictive of coffee but I didn't fell and experience what they said in this video it's normal for me just got a little weaken dont be afraid
