That's a real bummer. And that's on top of the existing black box warnings about pheripheral neuropathy, tendonitis, and torn ligaments. And what's really sad is the fact that the fluoroquinolones comprise the group of antibiotics that are the least likely to cause an MC flare. In fact, they will almost always stop a flare.

I reckon I'll update the drug info post again. :sigh:

Thanks for posting this information.
