Hello everyone,
I just learned from Mercola, N.D. that a class of drugs called floroquinolones can cause cardiac symptoms: Tachycardia, shortness of breath, hypertension, palpitations and chest pain. The most common ones are: Avelox (moxifloxacin)
Cipro (ciprofloxacin), Factive (gemifloxacin), Floxin (ofloxacin), Levaquin (levofloxacin), Noroxin (norfloxacin),
and Tequin (gatifloxacin).
If you have taken any of these drugs, do you remember if you took them before or after you developed cardiac symptoms. I am wondering if my cardiac symptoms are due to taking Avelox for a sinus infection. If you do need an antibioitic make sure that your doctor does not prescribe any of these drugs. They are associated with a number of devastating reactions.
