I finished up 90 days of low dose abx using Clindamycin and Zithromax separately.
Dr. suggested Mesosilver (collodial silver).
I told him I was uncomfortable taking it and asked for other choices.
Since I am allergic to Tetracycline he recommended Avelox.
After reading the FDA black box warnings for this I definitely am not comfortable taking this.
I have not heard back from him.
I am assuming he's tired of my refusal to take some of the things he's recommended including Benicar and Questran in the past.
So, I suppose I will continue my Samento/Banderol/Olive Leaf extract and other pills.
I would be interested in hearing feedback on the Avelox.
thanks

Is the black box warning about tendon damage??
I couldn't take it because it affected my heart. But I have A-fib.

Black box warning is about rupturing of tendons.

They say to take plenty of magnesium to help prevent it.

Avelox is a Quinolone like Levaquin, Cipro, and Factive. This is a very helpful class of medicines.
Have you tried other options that you feel are safer? If you have and you are still sick then Avelox may be worth a try.

why do people always get them selves work up with what might happen??? if your sick dont you want to get better???
everything comes with a risk. absolutly everything you put in your body.

I took Avelox without any issues. You may want to up your magnesium as a precaution though.
