             This item has a side effect. It causes photosensitivity,
        affecting skin pigmentation which results in susceptibility to
        severe sunburns.


             COL Cammarata has a call in to Miles Labs to determine what
        industry capability has to offer.   He is also asking them about
        packaging the cipro in blister packs. Service members will need
        to take two capsules per day over a 30 day period. For a force of
        500K, COL Cammarata estimates each 30 day requirement to be about
        30 million capsules.
