For a couple of weeks of not dying, I personally am willing to let an evil, money engorged pharma company make some bucks. If you have a better suggestion, pipe up.

Yep, discuss options with your doctor.

That med is great but I’m not sure about it’s MRSA coverage, and, at least in my region, that has been the secondary infection killing people.

Sometimes the newest most expensive choice is not the best. An infectious disease doctor familiar with the local pathenogens would make a recommendation based on recent local sensitivity testing.

Didn’t mean to offend, but that antiobiotic is being pushed heavily by the drug reps for conditions that are adequately treated with meds costing a tenth the price. Seeing it mentioned on FR just made me chuckle a little.

I just checked the local sensitivity reports. Our MRSA is sensitive to Avelox.

This would be a great angle for the reps.
