There's a side note here worth noting.

Apotox produced a no-name version of a drug called Cipro. Cipro is an fluoride-based antibiotic that was mis-prescribed for minor sinus infections, UTIs, etc, and caused permanent debilitations (brittle/torn tendons, memory loss, nerve damage, etc).

Bayer is the main distributer in the US and had had eventually settled a class-action lawsuit over it. http://www.ciprosettlement.com

The US military would feed Cipro to service members whenever they deployed to combat, supposedly to help just in case a service member came into contact with Anthrax. Cipro was not designed to combat anthrax nor is there any proven correlation of effectiveness towards its treatment.

Back in 2001 the Canadian Government had felt the need to stockpile Cipro, and had to cut a deal with Bayer, the drugs patent holder, so that they could let Apotex get the contract for $1.5 mil worth of Cipro to be stockpiled "in case of an Anthrax attack" in Canada.

Damn, I was prescribed Cipro after surgery years back.

I used to carry Cipro when travelling in tropical countries as a 'last resort antibiotic'. I was told to take it only if necessary as it would completely wipe my system of good and bad. Took it once and it was super strong. Not sure the side efects were worth it.

Def wouldn't want to be forced to take it.
