Took Ciprofloxin. Have Burning Knee Pain, Hives And Rashes In Leg Creases, Under Breast And On Head

I took 4 ciprofloxins 500. I have hives and rash in my leg creases, under my breast, back of my ears and in my head. 1-2x per day. Now I am having burning knee pains in both knees and it hurts to walk. I've never had this problem before. Maybe one knee once a year or every two years. Is the damage permanent ? Why is this fluoride medicine still on the market ?!!

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
The side effects of ciprofloxacin is G I disturbances , headache , tremor, confusion. RASHES, JOINTS PAIN, vasculitis, hepatic & renal damage.
These effects are transient and short lived . You will get relief within 4-5 days .
Joint pain will not persist ,if due to toxicity of cipro.
If these symptoms still persists , consult a physician and get his consultation.
This is also a very good and potent antibacterial drug.
Good luck. Dr. HET
