Bad Drugs
That Cause Muscle Pain and Tendonitis

Specifically here we're talking about harmful drugs and side effects of prescription drugs related to muscle pain and tendonitis.

We're NOT talking about any new drug treatment for cancer. We're talking about prescription drugs that cause muscle pain, muscle cell death, weakenss, and tendon and connective tissue damage which includes drugs that can completely rupture a tendon.

Bad Drugs
Which Ones?

Fluoroquinolones, or quinolones, are a class of powerful antibiotic. Known to have serious side effects and notorious for their ability to give tendon and connective tissue damage, tendon degradation and rupture.

This group includes Levaquin, Cipro, Avelox, Floxin, Maxaquin, Tequin and Noroxin.

Levaquin is the worst of the class, with the highest percentage of people injured from it.

Cipro is next in line.

Statins are a class of prescription only drugs that are primarily used to reduce cholesterol.

Statins and Muscle Pain are a common combination. There's more to it that that though.

Anti-inflammatory drugs, both prescription and over-the-counter, are theoretically used to decrease inflammation and pain. They are not free of serious side effects.

Anti-inflammatory drugs like Ibuprofen can erode your stomach lining.

Corticosteroid Injections can cause more pain, and can cause tendon damage from a couple different directions.

Bad Drugs
Are They Worth It?
