How To Reverse Side Effects Of Ciprofloxacin And Promote Cellular Healing?
Question: I got Ciprofloxacin to treat a minor ear infection.
Now I have side effects from Cipro since 8 weeks.
My symptoms from the Ciprofloxacin side effects are:
tendonitis/tendinosis, muscle twitching/spasm/pain, neuropathy, tinnitus, headache, etc...
I was a healthy 26 year old athlete before this poison destroyed my body.
What can be done to reverse the damage and to promote cellular healing?
Sincerely, XXXXXXX

Detailed Answer:
Dear Sir,
Thank you for posting your query on HCM.
Well looking into your problem I would like to tell you that ciprofloxacin is very common antibiotic and these are rare symptoms that you are getting .
First thing is that you need to be patient as the recovery is going to take time . There is no antidote for the drug hence these symptoms will basically heal on their own . There are no recommendations for any treatment but still taking vitamin C is helpful . Have a well balanced diet and avoid any medicine as far as possible . Keep your self hydrated to flush out toxins .
For tendinitis adequate rest and physiotherapy is advisable.
Take care.

There is no FDA approval for its use in treatment so cannot be recommended in high doses but still a multivitamin tablet along with magnesium supplementation can be considered , there is no harm in trying it at recommended dosage.
