doctors dont lose their jobs for this kind of error, who's kidding who here?
AVELOX, AND OTHER DRUGS IN IT'S CLASS, ARE LIKEWISE LIBERALLY DISPENSED BY PRESCRIPTION AND NEARLY NOBODY IS TOLD OF THE FDA BLACK BOX WARNING. IF YOURE GIVEN ANTIBIOTICS, BE SURE YOU KNOW IF IT IS FROM A BLACK BOX FDA WARNING CLASS OF ANTIBIOTICS, OR NOT. (it kills the gastro intenstinal flora, the good bacteria,and permits overgrowth of all kinds of nasty parasites, fungal and bacterial overgrowth. MANY PEOPLE ARE LEFT PERMANENTLY BATTLING THE PROBLEMS!) I'M PRESENTLY POISONED BY THIS STUFF MYSELF FROM A DOCTOR WHO AFTER ASKING HIM TO HIS UGLY FACE THREE TIMES ABOUT SIDE EFFECTS, BOLD-FACE LIED TO ME! oh happy day! know what you're doing, buyer beware! it's all about money, dont let fear twist your god-given gift of critical thinking.
