Cipro is the only one I can use. If I had to take it all the time that could be a problem but I don’t expect that would be the case with it. If I’m sick enough to have to have an antibiotic, I’ll take it. I am 80 and that’s a “bit” over 60. :o)
Well, the probability over all age groups is roughly the same as getting colorectal cancer, if that’s any consolation. But the problem has been noted after just a handful of doses, and when it happens it’s disabling.
If you have a true allergy to penicillan-class antibiotics you can’t take amoxicillan, etc., or the cephalosporins, but can take the floxins as you know, tetracycline, and azithromycin, among others.
