Ciprofloxacin’s Structure Causing Fluoride-Related Toxicity: A Case Report
This is the first study that has described an association among ciprofloxacinfluoride, tendinopathies, and peripheral neuropathy. The patient's symptomatology has suggested a toxic effect related to fluoride. We consider the documented finding of a fluorine atom at the ciprofloxacin structure and its toxic potential neuropathies and tendinopathies as an issue of alert.
