In Fond Memory
This section is to remember those who have died as a result of Fluoroquinolone antibiotic therapy. We sympathize with the family members who have lost their loved one due to these antibiotics. We only hope that through telling the stories these tragedies can be prevented. If an email address is provided with the story, please send along anything you can to help these fine people through a most difficult time in their lives.
