That is unless it happens to them! In fact the tendon ruptures came to light from doctors who consumed free samples of Cipro back when, and then developed tendon ruptures on the squash courts or golf courses! They reported those, but will be very unlikely to report or help patients. In fact it is thought at about 1% are ever reported--adverse events.

Thats real nice, do not report such a thing as this. I have read some of the levaquin threads on here and it is very distressing and scary. It makes sense that it was the drug. I am very scared as I took quite a bit of it and he also had me taking an Nsaid with is which I have read is not good either. My God.
