Experiences with

Cipro

i took ciproflaxin ended up with achilles heel and sciatica, my nurse at the docs said not possible, i told her to google it, it says it can cause tendon problems in the elderly which i am .

Every time he has one, they put him on Cipro. Then the cycle repeats. At this point, I'm more concerned about the UTIs than the PC. He has a urostomy bag because the PC had spread to his bladder and caused damage there. He's also down to one kidney for the same reason.

Prescribed Cipro for 2 weeks and a PSA retest. The culture came back negative for UTI. Of course I dive in to research all I can on what could be going on with me. Little pissed that we went straight to Cipro after reading potential side effects, especially tendons. I'm an active runner.

My spouse received his kidney transplant 5.5 years ago and this week has his first UTI infection and is on "Cipro" antibiotic 5 days with a refill if needed. About 2 days prior he lost his appetite and foods tasted "off". He is diabetic on insulin before every meal and at night before bed too.

I'm worried about the cardiac risks associated with Cipro and Azithro. It says the risk continues for a few years after even one course. I have Tachycardia, Dysautomnia and have had cancer 4x so my body is very reactive. Has anyone been fine on these or had issues?

I wish the specialist consultants were more reassuring, he said he had no idea what antibiotic for me to take if I didn't want Cipro'. Sorry for all the questions, I thought best to get them all down and see what you think. Thank you so much, in advance. XX

On Cipro for UTI and that is better too Let’s kill those cancer cells

Had a course of cipro for weeks after first sample but didn't help and now doc wants me to try cipro again for another 3 weeks. Have had ongoing issues for a while now, soreness. Pain during urination , ED and more.

Now I’m taking Cipro and Tamsulosin but after 3 days it’s no better. It’s hard not to worry it’s PC related. Any similar experiences?

Doc orders stool tests, prescribes Cipro before results. Results negative. Long story short back up to 5mg, then 4.5mg. Things eventually settle down. Then nearly 5 years of very slow taper, got to 1.25mg with 1mg every 3 days.

Blood tests showed no infection but after it persisted my URO gave me a round of Cipro which after the whole dose seemed to work. But after a week or so the symptoms returned. Tall Allen said these may never go away. Does anyone else have similar problems? Or treatments?

In the middle 2002 I was given a fluoroquinolone antibiotic (three, ten-day rounds of 500mg cipro for diarrhea that was caused by mold exposure, NOT by bacteria) that wrecked my intestinal microbiome.

For prophalyxis, he gave me two 500 mg Cipro pills to take the morning of, and the evening after.

I'm just about to finish cipro 14 day course of antibiotics and heading to 14,000 feet to go skiing. The cold air is already leaving me short of breath so worried what it might be like that high up. any suggestions would be helpful. i'm hoping i'll acclimate after a day.

Read Bactrim and Cipro are quinolones and do not work well with Steroids. Neither Dr or pharmacist knew this. Not sure how high I should go. Any suggestions?

., Cipro).

My doc sends me to a gastro guy - he wants to do a colonoscopy - again - had a perfect one before, whcih only showed diverticulosis - but the prep gave me a diverticulitis attack - then had a terrible reaction to the CIPRO. Argh.

My specialist wants me to take 'Cipro' (ciprofloxacin) tablets. The side-effects sound frightening - especially for a 72 year old. Can you tell me your experiences of taking this medication. The dose my specialist recommnds is 750mg twice a day for two weeks.

Im terrified after reading reviews online.. i was prescribed cipro for sibo and now after researching the thought of taking it makes me feel ill… I dont know if its just me being dramatic but i dont know what to do! The side effects.. the ‘floxing’ is just scaring me! 😭
