For Pneumonia "I had shortness of breath and chest pains on the right side, the doctor sent me for X-rays. I called the next day and was told I had pneumonia in the left lung. It's been 5 days now, and I slept throughout the night yesterday for the first time in a week, chest pains are still there but less intense. After 10 days on the medicine, I am going back for X-rays. So far, so good."

For Sinusitis "I have never reacted to an antibiotic, ever, in my whole life. Until now. Within 30 minutes of taking Avelox, I was experiencing nausea, sweats, shortness of breath, and heart flutters. I was so weak I had to be carried to bed. Then the vomiting started, it was short-lived but violent. It also has many NSAID contraindications, so be careful. Especially if your sinus infection is very painful, watch what you take. Glad to see it's worked for some, but for me."

I had a seizure, my husband called the ambulance, and I ended up in the hospital. Scary experience, and I want to let everyone know how horrible this drug is."

For Pneumonia "This drug definitely saved my life! I began to see changes to my severe pneumonia condition after the third tablet with minimal side effects. Course completed: 10 tablets (one per day) Avelox (Moksifloksacine 400mg). Aftereffects: I continued to have a wheezing sound coming from my lungs for months afterward, even though I completed the course as instructed. Perhaps this was due to a secondary infection?"
