You're probably here because you've been taking Cipro or one of the other fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Pains have crept up or suddenly your body feels like it's crashed. Your doctor might have said it's not likely to be the fluoroquinolone so you've searched online and found some horror stories. You discovered that you've been floxed – and now you've found us.
We're here to offer help and friendly support to sufferers of adverse reactions to fluoroquinolones – ciprofloxacin, levofloxacin, moxifloxacin and ofloxacin. We offer explanations, tips and guidance, and invite you to join us in helping to raise awareness amongst both doctors and patients.
We're a group of people in the UK who have been affected by fluoroquinolone toxicity. The group was founded in September 2015 as a private group on Facebook. To join, click the Facebook link at the bottom of any page, or send us an email. Further details are on the Contact Us page.
We are not medically trained and therefore not qualified to give advice. However, we have a wealth of "lived experience" between us which is very useful. Please always do your own research and consult your primary care doctor before acting on any medical information you find on the internet.
