Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs) - (Note: these are old postings, see Email Forum for latest postings)
If you feel that you have had an adverse reaction to a Quinolone antibiotic, you should ask your doctor to file an ADR report with the FDA. If your doctor isn't willing to file an ADR report, you can file one yourself. Just click on the link below and follow the directions. The only way we are going to get the FDA to look into Quinolone adverse reactions is to file ADR reports.
