Suggest Treatment For Traumatic Aortic Rupture
A little over two years ago, my then 45 year old son came within minutes of dying from an aortic rupture caused by the generic for ciprofloxin. Has the law changed or do the generic drug manufacturers still have no responsibility for the side effects that their drugs cause?

Aortic rupture is very rare after ciprofloxacin and this is not direct effect of the drug.It may be a possibility that your son might have a aneurysm of the aorta. So I do not think that liablity is on drug or the doctor. This was a sad event and I have full sympathy with you.
