I was just looking into this as I feel like my tendons are taking a hit and have been for awhile. I've just learned these antibiotics can cause tendon issues as well.

The neuropathy antibiotics occurs pretty quickly after use, doesn't it? I think I took Cipro quite a bit, but that was back in the 90s and before I knew better.

BACKGROUND: The risk of peripheral neuropathy occurs only with fluoroquinolones that are taken by mouth or by injection. Approved fluoroquinolone drugs include levofloxacin (Levaquin), ciprofloxacin (Cipro), moxifloxacin (Avelox), norfloxacin (Noroxin), ofloxacin (Floxin), and gemifloxacin (Factive). The topical formulations of fluoroquinolones, applied to the ears or eyes, are not known to be associated with this risk.
