OK. So this may not be new news to some of you but it was to me so I thought I would just post it here since I think the BFR community should all know about this...
I saw my dad this past Easter weekend and he mentioned that some antibiotics make people more susceptible to achilles tendon ruptures and tears (he's a pharmacist, btw) Some of the more common antibiotics he told me to be aware of are:
Avelox, Cipro, and Levaquin, which includes their generic equivalents, Ciprofloxacin and Levofloxacin.
You can find more information regarding the studies and the risks here.
Hope this info was helpful...
