  • Fluoroquinolones: How Do They Work (i.e Ciprofloxacin)
    At NurseMinder it is all about helping nursing students, LPNs, registered nurses and patients improve their knowledge and skill around common nursing skills and knowledge.
    Ciprofloxacin and levofloxacin are common generic named drugs that you would find in this classification of antibiotics that treat mainly gram-negative bacteria.
    In this video, I share with you some fun and fast tips to learn how to recall information about these drugs without having to memorize pages of details.
    From how they work, to the side effects and mechanism of action - I work to make pharmacology easy so you can better care for your patients and pass the NCLEX!.

    Please update your video about the adverse reactions of this drug, it's not only limited to ruptured tendons and weak muscles, there's now 7 black box warnings. I was poisoned by Levofloxacin and still dealing with issues after 2 years. This antibiotic is very dangerous and should only be prescribed in life or death situations when no alternative is found.

      @@NurseMinder Yes, you need to do research. You stated that fluoroquinolones do not enter cells that do not have bacteria. Then what damage could they do to a child or a breastfeeding infant?? They do go into any human cell, including brain cells, and do major damage either by adducting to the DNA, or killing off the DNA, probably mitochodrial DNA, since they control the functioning and energy the cell can generate. The adverse effects are severe and may be permanent. These antibiotics are being repositioned as anti-cancer drugs because they do go in and kill human cells. These drugs are TOXIC.

      @@NurseMinder Your healthcare team would be the best resource?? You've never been floxed!! We're told it couldn't have happened from these safe antibiotics, we must be crazy, a hypochondriac, it's psychosomatic. We need answers and solutions on how to fix our damaged cells and heal our damaged bodies and brains, not more medications for the pain like Lyrica and Gabapentin which do further damage to are brain cells. Where is the help for this after all these years of this poison being used?? Ask the Gulf War veterans from the early 1990's how much help they recieved for their floxing!! Mine started with Levaquin in 2008 (bad enough) and then Cipro in 2016 (life ruining)!! Seen so many doctors and specialists. They don't ever acknowledge the illness or damage, or how to treat it. They attempt to treat the symptoms with medications that often don't help, and that can also cause more damage to our fragile minds and bodies!! Yes, ask our healthcare teams!!

    I am wondering if the tendon rupture might be due to mitochondrial damage. I have heard that mitochondria are descendants of bacteria that formed a synergistic relationship with eucaryotic cells. Thus, if an antibiotic can damage the DNA of a bacteria, then it could potentially damage the mitochondria as well.
    Damage to tendons seems like such an unexpected side effect from a drug that kills bacteria.
    What are your thoughts, Tammy?

      @@NurseMinder If you actually beleve what you're teaching, that bacteria only enter cells that have bacteria in them, and then only affect the DNA of the bacteria in those cells, you are misguided. The side effects that we floxies have could not be in so many different organs and systems in our bodies if that were the case. Not only that, but tendinitis and tendons snapping off is caused by tenocytes being killed off, or made disfunctional. Chondrocytes being killed off or made disfunctional is causing are cartilage to disappear, thus causing so many joint issues and slipped discs and arthritis. Even the FDA admits that the mechanism by which the fluoroquinolones work is not fully understood, but also admits that there are many problems being caused by fluoroquinolones that may be permanent, debilitating, and disabling (FQAD).

    You spent a couple minutes on sun sensitivity and a few seconds on tendon rupture, but didn't mention the warning for permanent nerve damage, retinal detachment, or aortic dissection. Your understanding of these drugs falls in between 2008-2013, somewhere after the tendon rupture warning but before the peripheral neuropathy warning. Not acceptable, to put it kindly. And in the comments you say you'll read up on how to treat FQAD? Shouldn't you know that BEFORE releasing an "educational" video on the subject?
    I'll explain now what REALLY makes these drugs different and give people the informed consent that medical professionals should I, as a lay person who was obliterated by Cipro 2 years ago know more than most doctors and pharmacists, because I had to advocate for myself when the doctors tried to cover up their malpractice and misdiagnose me with anything other than the 800 lb gorilla in the room.
    Fluoroquinolones are a mitochondria intoxicant. It crosses the blood brain barrier in a way other antibiotics don't, and for that reason is targets healthy cells, including connective tissue and nerves. For this reason it was tested as a potential chemo drug. It is also a DNA adduct, meaning they cause damage caused by covalent attachment of a chemical molecule to DNA. The Cipro binds to the mitochondria and reprograms your DNA so it is routinely spitting out new, unhealthy cells. This results in depletion of antioxidants and a chronic state of oxidative stress. It is also why flares can happen months to years out, because the Cipro never truly leaves your body. NOW. It can and does improve greatly for a lot of people, because your body is always trying to return to homeostasis (your body knows it was poisoned and goes to work to clean it up, but this is serious poison and it’s a long process), but nobody is ever 100% the same after they take this drug. 80% is a good goal for most, particularly those with tendon injuries. Tendons heal but they are never exactly the same as they were before. Some get to 90 or 95%. Many have to settle for 60-70%, which is where I will likely end up (and boy I’ll take 70 after what I went through). I’m probably at 35% at 2 years, which may not seem like a lot but that’s up from 0 or 1%. I'm recovering ever so slowly and if you project out I’ll have another 35% healing in 2 more years and be at 70% at 4 years. Even a mild case can take a few months. Severe cases can take many years. A small amount never recover at all or get worse over time but this is a minority based on my experience. A lot comes down to your age, whether doctors gave you contradicted drugs like NSAIDs and steroids that multiply your reaction (they will deny this too), diet, etc. Again, few people get back to 100% of the person they were before after taking this neurotoxic poisonous Frankenstein bioweapon, but the human body is incredibly resilient, and a meaningful recovery is possible. After multiple ankle tendon injuries I’ll never ice skate or jump rope or rock climb again, however my walking has improved with surgeries and I do have the goal of jogging again.
    It really goes to show that doctors, pharmacists, and the FDA have NO CLUE about the safety profile of the drugs they market as "safe and effective" often until 20-30 years and hundreds of thousands of bodies later. Cipro had been out for 33 years at the time of this video and had a warning for permanent nerve damage and retinal detachment for almost a decade and it was not mentioned in the video. To the video maker, it’s nothing personal. You seem like a very nice and charming person who wants to help, but videos like this do patients no favors.

      I appreciate the sharing of your experience and there are a few things I will add
      This video is not solely about Cipro - if it was, there would be a video for Cipro as an oral med, IV med, drops / each has its own drug monograph that is many pages long
      2. These are educational videos and not a replacement for the content individuals receive for their medications, the content Is from current texts / resource
      I wish I could go over everything- but that would be a very long video - much like your post
      I do need to correct your assertion that it never leaves the body
      10.1 Mechanism of Action
      Ciprofloxacin, a synthetic fluoroquinolone, has in vitro activity against a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms. Its bactericidal action is achieved through inhibition of topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV (both Type II topoisomerases), which are required for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination.
      CIPRO® and CIPRO® ORAL SUSPENSION Page 26 of 64
      Ciprofloxacin retained some of its bactericidal activity after inhibition of RNA and protein synthesis by rifampin and chloramphenicol, respectively. These observations suggest ciprofloxacin may possess two bactericidal mechanisms, one mechanism resulting from the inhibition of DNA gyrase and a second mechanism which may be independent of RNA and protein synthesis.
      Elimination:
      Ciprofloxacin is largely excreted unchanged both renally and to a smaller extent non-renally. Renal clearance is between 0.18 to 0.3 L/h/kg and the total body clearance between 0.48 to 0.60 L/h/kg. Ciprofloxacin undergoes both glomerular filtration and tubular secretion.
      Non-renal clearance of ciprofloxacin is mainly due to active transintestinal secretion as well as metabolization. 1% of the dose is excreted via the biliary route. Ciprofloxacin is present in the bile in high concentrations.

      @@NurseMinder I do not accept Bayer as a legitimate source of information for this drug. They concealed the devastation this drug causes for 20-25 years before the truth came out. They’ve settled billions for other drugs. I’d like to get your opinion on why people can flare 5-10 years out after being mostly recovered of the Cipro is eliminated in a week. You didn’t “correct” anything. This is still very much up for debate, and Bayer has an inherent conflict of interest and is not a valid source.
      That being said, I know I came off aggressive as did a few others. I can tell you mean well. And I hope you don’t take this personally and come to resent Cipro victims. You don’t have to like me personally, but take my experience to heart. Remember permanent nerve damage, retinal detachment, and aortic dissection. Remember this can be widespread, there is no treatment or cure, and the tendonitis is a very different mechanism. It doesn’t go away in 6 weeks like standard tendonitis and doesn’t respond to physical therapy.
      I was a healthy 31 year old when I was poisoned, left to die and gaslit. I didn’t deserve it. And anyone in my shoes would be bitter

The side effects that we floxies have could not be in so many different organs and systems in our bodies if that were the case. Not only that, but tendinitis and tendons snapping off is caused by tenocytes being killed off. Chondrocytes being killed off is causing are cartilage to disappear, thus causing so many joint issues and slipped discs and arthritis. Even the FDA admits that the mechanism by which the fluoroquinolones work is not fully understood, but also admits that there are many problems being caused by fluoroquinolones that may be permanent, debilitating, and disabling (FQAD).

      @@Anna-ww4pv You really can't bring charges though. You should be able to, but laws around medical malpractice are lip service.
      In my state, you have to have a board certified doctor in the same speciality testify that your doctor acted outside the standard of care. Doctors are a close knit fraternity who play golf and eat dinner at 5 star restaurants on weekends. They don't snitch on each other. The Supreme Court has also ruled you cannot sue the manufacturer, as the manufacturer greased the government to give them immunity.
      Medical malpractice lawyers will not take a Cipro case because they know they're unwinnable. Since it's caused by a doctor 100/100 times, they know they can't win so they decline taking the case. The story has been identical with every single floxie.
      Over 100,000 people die from medical malpractice every year, but there are only a few thousand lawsuits settled. The idea that you can get justice against a doctor and their "investigations" via the state medical board is nothing but an elaborate production, a dog and pony show to give the illusion of due process.
