Here is one quote from the Discussion section: “Moxifloxacin was …found to cause a moderate degree of acute toxicity, mainly affecting the CNS…the principle target organs were the CNS, the liver, the bone marrow and the cardiovascular system…all of these symptoms are known to be associated with other fluoroquinolones too. (It goes on to explain that the other quinolones take a longer time and a higher dose before these symptoms show up though.) The good news is that moxy doesn’t seem to cause cancer or light sensitivity. Welcome to the wonder world of yet another quinolone. a Carnes with brain damage from Levaquin and Avalox http://jac.oxfordjournals.org/cgi/reprint/43/suppl_2/91.pdf may not be a free text Quote
Guest guest Posted June 17, 2006 Report Posted June 17, 2006 Hey, don't sneeze at that light sensitivity thing. I was on i.v. doxy for several months and my hands and top of feet were raw, despite my attempts at wearing gloves and socks almost all the time. Sunny California makes that very difficult to do. (It's also why I think the whole NOIR sunglasses thing is kind of funny and may explain why certain light avoidants on a certain protocal haven't keeled over from a lack of vitamin D. Unless you live in a crypt, it's nearly impossible to avoid the sun 100% in So. Cal. (or Nevada, where you live). I've just added tetracycline back to my regimen, and am feeling better. Especially in the jaw. I hope the photosensitivity thing is less pronounced with tetra. I just can't got through that again, and is why I avoid doxy now. Can't take minocycline, so nothing left but tetra, which I think may have good bone penetration in the long run anyway. penny --- a Carnes <pj7@...> wrote: > , it was free, and with my dark sense of humor I > found it laughable. > Here is one quote from the Discussion section: > > " Moxifloxacin was .found to cause a moderate degree > of acute toxicity, > mainly affecting the CNS.the principle target organs > were the CNS, the > liver, the bone marrow and the cardiovascular > system.all of these symptoms > are known to be associated with other > fluoroquinolones too.
