Originally Published 1 year ago — by Daily Mail
Talia Smith, a 44-year-old mother, was left wheelchair-bound and unable to care for her disabled veteran husband after suffering a rare reaction to the antibiotic Cipro, prescribed for a UTI. Despite FDA warnings about serious adverse effects, she was not informed of the risks by her doctor. Smith is now advocating for better warnings on fluoroquinolones and for doctors to be held responsible, as well as seeking insurance coverage for treatment for those harmed by these antibiotics.
