More Off Topic: Cipro isn't for Athletes or Dancers

I just found out that antibiotics in the class of fluoroquinolones can have a negative effect on your Achilles. These antiobiotics include Cipro, which Caroline just finished, and Floxin, Noroxin, and Levaquin. Your risk for injury apparently triples if you take these drugs, lasting even months after finishing them. I read this in the most recent Runners magazine, on page 66, under Drug Bust. I wish we had known this before Caroline was prescribed Cipro, since she is an athlete who doesn't need another injury. And with our youngest soon to go on pointe in ballet, we will keep this in mind. Just for your information!
