Common Questions and Answers about Cipro and flagyl

cipro

Avatar f tn Hi, I have problems with UTI and kidney infections on a regular basis. I have been on Cipro on and off since 1994. Cipro has allways worked very well for me. I have not experienced side effects from this drug. I have had other antibiotics prescribed to me that did have some negative side effects. In my case Sulfa drugs causes hives. From 1994 up to 2003, I used to come down with UTI and kidney infections that required hospitalizations with a frequency of about every 3 to 4 months.
Avatar n tn My husband has been diagnosed with diverticulitis and is being treated with Flagyl and Cipro. He now has a fever and terrible stomach pain and a hives like rash on his face and a slight fever. He has had three doses and I am wondering what to do.
187666 tn?1331173345 They usually combine Flagyl with either Cipro or Levaquin. I would also recommend seeing a good gi and see what he or she has to say. Hope this helps.
Avatar n tn im a male and the urologist prescribed me cipro... he did not perform any tests for trich b/c i had previously had chlamydia months ago but was treated of that and retested and cleared of the chlamydia... though my urethra pain persisted... i was just wondering if i need to go back to the doctor to get this flagyl or if the cipro that i just was prescribed will wipe it out...i don't have insurance and it costs me a lot each time i visit the doctor.
Avatar n tn Hi guys Just wanted to give an update... Called the Dr. and was put back on Cipro and Flagyl for 14 days. The pain continued to increase in the LLQ like a sharp knife. Dr. said that is exactly where the inflammation is. Now have to do a colonoscopy. But the side affects (severe D) from the Flagyl are so bad that I cannot go to work. Its actually worse than the sharp pain from the inflammation.
Avatar m tn 3 days later i was hospitalized with infectious colitis. stayed 3 days and they did cat scan(radiation) and had me on flagyl and cipro very strong broad spectrum drugs. ever since then i have occasional gut discomfort and diarrhea. lately i seem to have symptoms more often. i went to a gastroenterologist and he suggest limitiing alcohol consumption.. i stopped drinking my beer and drank tons of milk hoping to soothe my stomach..
Avatar m tn I was then told to take Azithromycin 2 pills all at once and Flagyl 4 pills all at once. The dr. suspected an m.hominis infection and to be sure that I did not have trich still left inside of me prescribe that dosage of flagyl. I also got a second swab when I went in again for the cramps, and they did not find trich. The cramping went away for a little while, and last month they came back. I did not know what it could have been until I started to have a lower back pain.
Avatar n tn Does anybody know if I should wait before taking them considering I took a dose of Cipro and Flagyl about 8 hours ago? Probably not...

Avatar f tn All the Test came back Negative, she put me on Cipro before she knew the Results. Today Was my Last day on The Cipro and I woke up to the same green/yellow discharge I have been having. I told her and she prescribed Flagyl 3x a day for 7 days @ 500mg a dose. My Questions are: Could it really be Trich even though she said she didn't see it on the Microscope? I did have anal/vaginal sex so could it be from cross contamination?
1580703 tn?1651904887 the terrible problem is I have destroyed my brain with horrific APHASIA and ear damage from rocephin, ampicillin, tinidazole, roxithromycin, doxycyline and flagyl well I went to this ER the kind of bad one that gave me IV cipro and flagyl for 5 days for a little GI bleeding. and they ran blood tests and a CT scan but had no dx for the 33% venous O2 sat and ruled out metabolic and just gave me some nasal oxygen and sent me away. I had taken some potassium supplements and b12.
Avatar n tn I had a recent bout with pouchitis and took Cipro and Flagyl (and yogurt) . The Cipro made me feel normal again and reduced frequency to 5-7 x's a day- I felt good! When I came off the Cipro the high frequency diarrhea problem returned. I go every 6 hrs at about 4 trips per. I am so beat down by a lack of sleep and stress from this that I am ready to die!!! Given I have young kids this is not an option though, if I didn't it would be.
Avatar m tn 2 days later the left side started hurting, and I could feel a lump above the testicle. I saw another Dr. and he did a urine test which turned up no UTI and said I had epidymitis and gave me Levofloxacin to go along with Doxycicline that an American Dr. said might help over the phone. 14 days later I still have the lump and I have finished the antibiotics. Last night I saw yet another Dr.
847328 tn?1289783114 I usually take Cipro and Bactrim. I have only been given Flagyl for BV. I might double check with your doctor. Also, was the Flagyl oral or via the vaginal gel? I believe that the oral is contraindicated in pregnancy.
Avatar f tn It is a spore that is only killed with bleach outside the body, family members and co-workers may need to tested at the first sign of diarrhea, esp with that foul C diff smell Take the med and get a repeat in 3 weeks after you finish the flagyl, this can be difficult to kill. Research it, The CDC has lots of info on this posted on the net. Your family Dr probably does not have alot of experience with this in her practice.
Avatar f tn (the second scan showed it growing worse after 3 days) after 7 days on IV Flagyl and Cipro with a lowering of WBC and fever. I'm now home with 10 days of oral antibiotics and the pain is certainly still present. The location of the mass at the base of my small intestine makes it possible to view only laparoscopically, so I need to be prepared for surgery when I go in. Any suggestions and input for best course of action is certainly welcome.
Avatar m tn After 2-3 days I had burning/tingling sensation in urethra and frequent urination, I went to the doctor after 1 week and had a full suite of std tests, but only came back positive for a UTI and was given Cipro. After the course of Cipro I still had symptoms so I went to a different doctor who prescribed doxycycline. After a week of the doxy I still had symptoms and went back and they gave me more doxy along with flagyl.
Avatar n tn It is now about a year later, and I am having pain in my left testicle again. I do not have health insurance and got a friend to prescribe Cipro for me to clear up my infection. After reading the new black box warning on Cipro I am very nervous and reluctant to take it, mainly because of the reports of sudden tendon rupture. I started taking Cipro a week ago. 6/5/09. I noticed my energy to be low and my joint and tendons to be stiff and sore.
Avatar m tn If you have a severe flare up and need Cipro and Flagyl, your WBC will usually change. Keep in mind that diverticulosis is not the same as inflammed diverticulitis. Good luck!
Avatar m tn no big abcesses, he has now been in the hospital for five days and has received flagyl, levoflaxin(?), and two days of cipro anitbiotics intravenously. The doctor has released him but has not issued him any oral antibiotic follow up, is this right?
Avatar n tn I just finished 20 days on flagyl and cipro for colitis and diviticulities....Just a word of advice....be sure to eat when taking medication...The Rx made me so nausous but as soon as i took my last pill I felt so much better the next day...still can't add fiber back to my diet yet but am doing better...I've been sick for almost 4 weeks now.
Avatar f tn My bloodwork is all normal, CRP, SED rate, and CBC, all normal. Day 5 of cipro and flagyl AGAIN and still having the nagging tenderness in my lower left abdomen. GI I am seeing says we can't do a colonoscopy while there is inflammation, but what the heck are we supposed to do if we don't know what the inflammation is from and we can't do the test to figure it out?! I don't have great insurance, so a second opinion is going to be VERY costly.
Avatar f tn Then June of 2017, I had become constipated and I went to my Family Doctor and she stated my diverticulosis was acting up, so she gave me prescriptions of, Cipro and Flagyl. I took them for 4 days and my bowels seemed fine..but a few days later..I developed severe vomiting and diarrhea with cold sweats..it lasted 3 hours.I felt a little better next day, but queasy.. Two days later, I was vomiting..could not hold anything down. My daughter took me to ER.
