Personally I've never taken Cipro or any abx in that class but have heard from enough who have encountered longterm damage from this type abx and others in the fluoroquinolone class. Fluoride is one of the ingredients in this drug, and I'm a huge anti fluoride advocate.

If I were ever in a position and told to take this drug, I don't know what I'd do, ask for another type and be in so much fear.

Hope you can feel better.
