Ugh Levaquin. One of the well-known side effects is a spontaneous Achilles tendon rupture. Horrifying, and I hated taking it.


That's a terrifying side effect.


Don‘t forget about the chronic neuropathy! Some people have hands and feet that will burn and sting until their death.

I had to take moxifloxacin and ciprofloxacin at two different times in my life. Besides the achilles, feet and hand tendon pain, both times I would have severe stinging pain in my scalp for months after taking them. Blessed as I am it went away again.
