Cipro Tendon Rupture Class Action Lawsuit Lawyer Attorney

Free Defective Drugs Case Review

If you or someone you love has suffered side effects as a result of using Cipro, you do have rights that need to be evaluated. Contact a Cipro lawyer or attorney as soon as possible to schedule an initial consultation to learn about your legal rights and options. There may be a Cipro class action lawsuit starting with possible settlements for victims suffering tendon ruptures.

Cipro is about as close to a ‘household’ name as an antibiotic medication can get, and that’s for many reasons. First, Cipro is perhaps the most powerful drug in a class of medications known as flouroquinolone drugs, which are known to fight infections and kill antibodies that create harm in the bodies of patients.

Cipro is generally used in patients to help treat common infections, including such maladies as urinary tract infections, which can present a lengthy battle for the patient and be difficult to ultimately cure. Cipro has proven to be effective in the treatment of these sorts of medical problems.

Cipro Side Effects

Most of the know side effects of Cipro include the following: Heart Palpatations, nervousness, dizziness, headache, painful oral mucosa, Kidney failure, urinary retention, urethral bleeding, acidosis.

Recent reports have been generated that link the use of Cipro with the tendency to develop serious side effects, most commonly tendonitis and the risk of suffering from ruptured tendons, each of which presents problems. Tendonitis is extremely painful and can be chronic in nature, and the rupture of any tendon requires immediate and invasive corrective surgery.

As a result the FDA reacted with one of the strongest remedies available. The FDA has issued a statement that requires a “Black Box” warning to be affixed to all labels of Cipro, and this warning directly points out the risk between the use of Cipro and the possibility of these side effects developing.

I've taken cipro on several occations and havetaken alot of prednisone due to sever asthma. Most recently I suffered a torn achilles tendon which required surgery and I'm off work for 12 plus weeks with no compensation. I'd appreciate your feed-back.
