Hey all - I have been searching the internet for info on this and thought I should check with those who might know what I am talking about.
Has anyone been on IV Cipro and had numbness or tingling (like when your foot falls asleep from sitting on it)? I have been on IV Cipro for two weeks, and last night my whole left side, from the tips of my fingers to my toes went tingly and numb, like they weren't part of my body. I looked it up and it says it is a side effect but when I called to talk to the Pharmacist he said it was new to him. Then he asked if I had seen online in my search a black box warning, well no, but in further research I found the people are pushing the FDA to require this black box warning on these types of drugs. There is also a risk of tendon rupture - and I have noticed my wrist has been very sore for the last week or so.
Any one have anything to share on this subject.
Thanks.
