Re:Dr. Nissen,
I have notified the FDA as well as Bayer Pharm. to voice a formal complaint of the known potential of the toxic drug AVELOX. It has caused permanent injuries,such as mine, which include seizure disorder(never experienced before Avelox),reactive-airway disease/asthma(never had before avelox)loss of gag reflex bilaterally since anaphylaxis/laryngospasms,cognitive impairment,new acquired allergens(dogs,cats,perfumes,mold,pine trees). I always had a pet dog.Now i can,t stand to visit my 3 grandchildren because they have 3 dogs which cause me great distress(wheezing,diffuse itching,hoarseness,severe headache) My vision has suffered to the extent i am afraid to drive at night so i don,t. I,ve had 2 eye exams since the Avelox toxic event stating i fear i,m going blind! An MRI was ordered to visualize the optic nerves because my visual field is so small and appears gray. I also see opaque tailed objects in my visual field everyday. This frightens me the most. Fear of blindness. I received 6,900 AERS from the FDA FOIA in 2005. I only wish i could sue the FDA as well as BAYER, for not protecting thousands of consumers,now victims,from limited trials , which has permitted Bayer to profit from this KNOWN toxic drug!! Shame on Bayer and the FDA. Class-action lawsuits against Bayer should have been filed in 1999-present. Tis drug should have NEVER been approved for marketing!! Does anyone actually record or read the thousands of AERS(complaints) that are sent,emailed to the FDA medwatch as well as BATER. A report number is assigned by both and that,s the END of it!!!
I,m damaged but i,m angry as he--,and i won,t stop fighting Bayer and the FDA.I know you can,t trust many physicians because of their greed. Pharmaceuticals offer "incentives" to keep prescribing this toxic drug when they know there are safer antibiotics to chose from. The price of Avelox is outrageous!! I wonder why?Multimillions are being profited while consumers suffer and some DIE!!
