The Fluoroquinolone Antibiotic Toxicity Syndrome Network (FATSN) is a nonprofit founded by individuals whose lives have been forever interrupted and changed by severe adverse reactions to Fluoroquinolone Antibiotics: Avelox - Cipro - Levaquin - Floxin. As an international community of individuals, families, and friends, FATSN continues to grow, and strives to spread awareness of Fluoroquinolone toxicity symptoms, and the syndrome it leaves in its wake.
