Suhas's Story
Was given Cipro (500mg) for 7 days to treat a
suspected UTI.
Experienced numbness of hands, Gout, dry mouth, eyes, neck, jaw and joint
pains across the body, numb lower lip. Did not think it was related to the
drug since neither the Doc or the Pharmacist mentioned anything. On the
seventh day I called the Doc and he asked me to stop it right away. It was
too late. |
