I took this for an Acid Fast Bacteria in a surgery site about 7 weeks after surgery. I took it for approximately 6-8 weeks. The infectious disease doctor who prescribed it never tested my blood to see if it was affecting anything. It had basically shut down my bone marrow completely. This was paired with the antibiotic Mocifloaxcin. I finally went to urgent care and they immediately sent me to hospital. I was dizzy, tired, and cold all the time. Bloodwork came back my hemoglobin was 6.4. White blood count 1.4. Red blood cells and platelets just as low. I had to get blood transfusions immediately. Because this shut down my bone marrow and immune system I got pneumonia over night. There were black spots all over my lungs. If you take this…please get blood checked often. I nearly died.

Seemed to be normal for 3 days. Then my face & eyes began to swell. Very tired. Woke up 6th day with a sore throat and by the next morning my lips and gums were swollen. My mouth hurt so bad I could hardly eat anything. When my lips started bleeding I stopped the medication.
