I'm sure it's a warning on the macro/public health level due to the risk of breeding resistant organisms not a patient specific risk.

Sort of. Fluoroquinolones in general aren't that great for UTIs these days because of how often they're prescribed.
E coli (most common uti bug) is less than 70% susceptible to Cipro where I live.
Also, fqs as a class have a lot of adrs and drug interactions. Put those two together and you're really better off using other agents when feasible.

Nope...again from the FDA
quote:
An FDA safety review has shown that fluoroquinolones when used systemically (i.e. tablets, capsules, and injectable) are associated with disabling and potentially permanent serious side effects that can occur together. These side effects can involve the tendons, muscles, joints, nerves, and central nervous system.
I'm not saying I would never ever take these meds. But if I'm prescribed them for something basic...I'm questioning the provider for their rationale and asking if there is a better alternative.
