Here is a Dear Doctor letter from a doctor who has been poisoned from Levaquin for several years. Noted in the letter is that the incidence of these reactions is much higher than previously reported. Does anybody honestly believe that quinolone manufacturers are stating the truth about the incidence of side effects? I posted about a week ago a story from Readers Digest about how Sanofi actually made up the safety data concerning Ketek antibiotic. Yes, that’s right, the data was forged. The story was in Readers Digest. It is reposted in my blog. And what did the FDA do regarding this? They helped conceal the data. Our government agency, the FDA is helping to protect the financial interests of the pharma companies at the expense of the individual. Please read the letter from Dr. Plumb below.

This pharmacist apparently is completely unaware of the fact
that the Black Box warning WAS approved for the FQs. Just
because they have not yet appeared on the FQs themselves,
he thinks they were never ordered by the FDA to be put on
the FQs.
How is it possible for this so called pharmacist to be so much
in the dark about this? This B.B. warning was issued in Oct.!!!
This comment was supposed to be for the post by the
pharmacist below, not for this post on the Dear Dr. letter.
Just what I was looking for. I hope my doctor will finally understand!
Thanks for the link!
Does anyone have a copy of this letter? the links are all broken on everyone’s website that refers to it!
