That is why there are people who have masters degrees and doctorates, who still refer to very heavy and thick books, who handle drugs.

As for Cipro, it was touted as a be all and end all wonder drug. It isn't worthless, if stored and used correctly, but the odds of anyone who isn't a medical making that call is just random luck. It's like atropine- does it work? Sure, if used right. But stocking whatever random antibiotics you can lay your hands on, when you don't know how or when to use them and lack the ability to determine the actual infectious agent, while not as stupid in my opinion as stocking atropine, it is on par with gas masks and geiger counters. If you have a REAL, CREDIBLE risk, and know how to use it properly, fine, otherwise, don't.
