BAR HARBOR ─ East Boothbay author Marilyn Beardsley Heise recently launched retail sales of her new book “Perilous Pills, Protecting Yourself from Fluoroquinolone Injury” at Sherman’s stores in Damariscotta, Boothbay Harbor, Bar Harbor, Freeport and Portland. This is her first book.
Marilyn was harmed by taking an antibiotic called Levaquin, part of a frequently prescribed class of drugs called fluoroquinolones that also includes Cipro, Avelox and numerous generics. She suffered severe tendinitis and a torn rotator cuff after taking Levaquin, which was prescribed by her doctor. As she slowly recovered, she discovered that thousands of others had been hurt by these medications that were being overprescribed.
