These commonly prescribed drugs, such as Cipro and Levaquin, have been causing life altering, debilitating side effects, since they were introduced to the United States in the 1980's. Patients harmed by fluoroquinolones speak out in the 2009 documentary CERTAIN ADVERSE EVENTS, which exposes little known facts about the U.S. prescription drug trade.
