What is an alternative to a fluoroquinolone antibiotic?
YouTube video by Talia Smith - Finding Vulneraries What is an alternative to a fluoroquinolone antibiotic?

Whenever I talk about #fluoroquinolone #antibiotics being a last resort only #medication (per the FDA) the question I always get is, what can I take instead?

It is terrifying when u find out that your #floxed after taking a #fluoroquinolone antibiotic, but then when u realize there’s #nocure…
This class of #antibiotics should be used as last resort only, #saveyourself.
