Sorry to hear about his reaction. Sadly all medications can have side effects and many people are allergic to certain active ingredients. Fortunately, WE DO HAVE drugs as they save lives including Cipro and they allow us to live longer and be healthier during that time. I really don't understand your comment about you being more happy ( or whatever the term used) about being a shareholder of biel. because you saw what harm drugs can do. Cipro is an Antibiotic ( which the world needs) and has nothing to do with pain or pain management. Without Antibiotics most of us would be lucky to live to 40. Drugs are a great resource to have as long as patients are diagnosed correctly and patients are coherent about their medications as to taking as prescribed and not abusing their medications. Again, I am sorry to hear about your fathers reaction to Cipro and I truly hope he will be fine, but Cipro is not a bad drug. It is a very strong Antibiotic and other Antibiotics should be used first depending on the severity of the bacterial infection. Even pain meds are truly needed in our society, but our problem is the fact that doctors prescribe them to certain patients who truly don't need them which has lead to a society full of pain med addicts. The same goes for O.T.C. acetaminophen or anti- inflammatories.
