The CPSA requires a diagnosis disclosure for marijuana but not poison pills? Cipro has a black box warning (poison) because of the following:

"Systemic toxicity syndrome"(toxic to all connective tissue including muscle, bone, skin, nerves, cartilage, tendon and ligaments rupture

"Peripheral neuropathy"( damage to nerves, central nervous system, loss of peripheral vision, double vision, tinnitus (ringing in the ears)

Cipro is a " neurotoxin "and can lead to psychosis, memory loss, brain fog, hallucinations, paranoia, suicidal thoughts, depersonalization

"Superinfection "(exponential bacterial overgrowth resulting when the bacteria is unsusceptible to Cipro (NGU).

Cipro damage is cumulative, can be permanent and can start with one pill. Empirical treatment with Cipro is banned in Germany and the EMA contemplates for Europe. The CPSA says it's ok to prescribe dozens of Cipro pills for "possible UTI "(Empirical treatment, no disclosure). The FDA recommends Cipro be reserved for the most serious bacterial infection such as anthrax and the plague.
