Luckily I've managed to avoid them for most of my life (save for moxifloxacin eyedrops 10 years ago before I knew the danger), but azithromycin got me over the bacterial pneumonia.
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.
