Comment:
I was on this drug for a bacterial infection in my lung and i was given only a few months to live. the med really saved my life after 3 months.But i got nyuropthy in my legs and feet from it and no one knew it could cause that. I would take it again if it was a matter of life or death But i wish i was told it was gonna cause me to have a hard time getting around.
