In the search for stronger antibiotics, a pharmaceutical manufacturer has developed a compound that is unparalleled in efficacy.When an infection is raging in a person, and other antibiotics do not cure the problem, doctors will turn to the fluoroquinolones.There can be devastating effects fromfluoroquinolones(FQs) that may include symptoms of extreme fatigue, tendon rupture, joint and muscle pains, nerve pains, and nervous system disturbances.These side effects are noted in the literature that is provided to both prescribing physicians and to their patients when they pick up the medicine at the pharmacy.

However, neither the literature nor other communication identifies and discusses alternative pharmaceuticals to provide the same level of efficacy without the dangerous side effects.
