I took Cipro for a few weeks about 15 years ago, and I was fortunate in that it did not rupture my tendons. What I remember most about it is that it cost around $275 because the patent hadn't yet expired. The doxycycline I took along with it only cost $30.

One of the antibiotics within this group is called Cipro used for infections. It is a broad-spectrum antibiotic unlike penicillin or amoxicillin which are used for specific infections. When your doctor prescribes this antibiotic, Cipro, be very careful and do your research because the results can be catastrophic and life changing.
