Cipro is an antibiotic that almost is as damaging as the infection it is meant to attack.

A known side effect of Cipro is tendonitis - especially the Achilles tendon - in older men. Here I am 65+ years old, still running 4 times a week and the doctor prescribed it anyway.
I discovered all this a week or so later and when I called the doctor's office, they just casually said, "Well, we'll just put you on something else." Idiots.
And it's not just Cipro ... I can't think of a single medication that doesn't have nasty side effects, some even fatal. "Big Pharma" indeed.
