Russian Roulette With Your Health

In this episode Dr Webster and I will discuss:

Dangers of certain Antibiotics

Sharing Your Love Life with Your Cardiologist 

Signs and dangers of High and low Cortisol. 

While we've all seen and heard the warnings of medication on a commercial, we tend to dismiss or not heed their warnings. I believe it's often due to the upbeat, happy voice of the talent reading the script.

Imagine having a doctor read the same script slowly without high energy happy emotion in his/her voice. Would that make us stop and be reluctant to run to a doctor for medication? I guess that may depend on how "sick" you really are.

One thing not mentioned on this warning below are genetic factors. Some people are simply not going to experience any  known issues, while others can suffer greatly.

Think of it as Russian Roulette. A game of chance at your expense.

Fluoroquinolones are antibiotics to treat or prevent certain bacterial infections that come with serious side effects.

Brand names:

• Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
• Ciprofloxacin extended-release (Cipro XR
• Gemifloxacin (Factive)
• Levofloxacin (Levaquin)
• Moxifloxacin (Avelox)
• Ofloxacin (Floxin)

We'll share Common Side Effects and what you need to do

Serious Physical Side Effects which can start after the first or second dose.

Boxed Warning on Medication Label The FDA put its strongest warning on the drug packaging.

Benefits vs. Risks

For some types of sinusitis, chronic bronchitis, and urinary tract infections, the risks of fluoroquinolone drugs are greater than the benefits for most people.

For some serious infections, like pneumonia or infections inside the abdomen, the benefits of fluoroquinolone drugs outweigh the risks.
