I have no idea who would accept a fluoroquinolone antibiotic knowing there are alternatives with significantly less risks.

During this ordeal I was subjected to a urodynamics test and they simply hand you an antiboitic pill to take afterwards without saying what it is--It was cipro and I had to request a different one.
