ER Nursing stories ping.
My wife was prescribed Levaquin. One single dose put her into Atrial Fibrillation in a matter of hours. Some people cannot tolerate Fluoroquinolones.
It is not a pleasant way to find out...profound weakness, "Elephant sitting on chest", etc.
Avelox, Cipro, Cipro I.V., Floxin , Floxin I.V., Levaquin, Maxaquin, Noroxin, Tequin
A websearch may have saved her life, and got her to the ER in time. Otherwise, she just had wanted to sleep.
She was in the CICU for two days, and was released on the third day.
The effect is rare, but should be remembered.
Great team in this ER as well. They _listened_ when I told them of the literature regarding the fluoroquinolones, and jumped on it.
Would you mind adding me to that ping list? I've stumbled across these stories a couple of times now and thoroughly enjoy them!
