Common Questions and Answers about Cipro and keflex interaction

cipro

Avatar f tn except now I am Keflex for a sinus infection. Yesterday, after I took the meds and then laid down.. and then I turned red, felt super hot (mostly just my head) and felt really dizzy. So I checked my bp and it was 155/111. Because of the meds I take, my bp is generally 90/50... that high if I am lucky. I am wondering what on earth happened. Random? Allergy- how could that be? Drug interaction? Though I am a cracker jack nurse, I am stumped.
Avatar n tn For two days i took some Keflex twice a day that I had left over. It wasnt helping , I found a bottle of cipro I had left over and I took one. Thats it. A few days ago my boyfriend starts having symptoms of chlamydia or gonnerea ureathra hurting, discharge etc. I have no symptoms. We have only slept together once in the last couple weeks. Anyways, I went and got tested and I have bacterial vaginosis. I have not been with anybody but him.
Avatar m tn I had an ex-girlfriend that was Dx with Chlamydia, went to my PCP the day after I was told, I was given antibiotics and a NAAT, mine came back clean, this was in late 2006, I am currently on cipro i took it for 2 days and then stopped because I want to retest, can i still get an accurate result , ot should I wait 2 weeks before retest. Lastly, if she was positive, why was mine negative ????
Avatar f tn I was able to make it through a Doctor visit and taken OFF Cipro (which was free at Publix) and put on a stronger Keflex type drug that was $226.26 with a $25.00 coupon. This one has very few side effects and I've always been okay with Keflex. Thanks for the help!
Avatar f tn So I was prescribed Cipro, but I had an allergic reaction to it. So now I am on Keflex 4x a day for 7 days. Today is 2nd day, I still feel the pain. I am thinking that my bacteria is now resistant to antibiotics after taking so many. Does anyone have experience with this? Could it be a kidney stone lodge in the right part of my urethra?
Avatar m tn I now have been taking antibiotics for about a month, about 10 days of keflex with a 5 day break, 10 days of cipro, and 3 days break before another 10 days of cipro. Am now taking a 10 day round of both clindamycin and bactrum to treat it. Thing is, blood work I had 5 days ago when I got started taking my clindamycin and bactrum now shows that I have no signs of infection in my blood, from CBC to my C-Protein.
475555 tn?1469304339 Hey, Mike, I have taken Keflex and penecillin both with no problems, BUT not on Tx meds. I agree with Dee, check with your pharmacisr - or better yet - call J&J AND Gilead! They should be able to e specific and to reccommend an alternative if one is better. Good luck and good health!
Avatar m tn would that be why for the past few months i have had yeast/fungal issues, they come and go in my groin and under stomach and arm area, and little yeast bumps on body?
Avatar m tn And so now have had two different IV antibiotic occasions, and 10 days of cipro, followed by 9 days of septra ds, followed by a few days of keflex, and I was switched to levoquin? (something like that). My scrotum is worse, it swells up and reddens and this worsens throughout the day. The epididmytis pain is much better than a few weeks ago, but I’m still hobbling around.
Avatar m tn One other question, does the discharge from chlamydia appear spontainoulsy or is it only on arousal, my discharge is pre and post arousal only, and I talked to Dr Edawrd Hook, he highly doubts chlamydia, also I spoke to my PCP tonight and he said Keflex would not have affected the test, as Keflex is not effective against it, and the fact it was done first thing in the AM helps the accuracy of the test,,,,, so yeah is a spotainous discharge ( I would assume so right, a continous discharge) or is
Avatar n tn One thing I keep wondering is if a recent salivary gland infection and a cycle of amoxicillan and a cycle of keflex might have something to do with this? I have a wicked infection and I ended the keflex cycle about 10 days prior to this happening. Just odd that I'm having two significant issues like this back to back. Any ideas would be helpful.
Avatar m tn Thanks for the comments anutiejessie! As an FYI the symptomes never resulted in any pain or white discharge. Just the sensation or needing of a need to urinate but little drops only came out. With that said could the bacteria be from diet (heavy alcohol intake the prior 5 days)? Could extensive masterbation (3-5 hours/day) cause a prostatis flar up? Or could the latex or spermicide from the condom irritated my urethra and caused the flare up?
640719 tn?1277140030 I talked to the pharmacist and they said with my resistance to macrodatin (not sure of spelling) cipro and levaquin and allergy to penicillin, ceftin, and now batrium, not sure what they can do for me :o I can take Keflex but I'm reading that is most likely not to effective in treating UTI's. I'm sure fear is not helping my UTI sensations. How big of trouble may I be in concerning this situation? What can they do? Any input would be grateful.
Avatar n tn It took one three day dose of Keflex and two doses of Cipro to get rid of it completely. I am left with leakage only after peeing and dull pain and sometimes a knife like pain in the lower urethra. My doctor's answer to my questions, are, "I don't know". I do not have a UTI now but he has given me another dose of Cipro for five days and now I'm taking nitrofurantoin for a month.
Avatar m tn but seriously if im prohibiting the growth well atleast there would be dead bacteria seen on the samples right? and its not anymore keflex im drinking its ciprofloxacin... so should i get another test?
Avatar n tn hi i have a question, ive heard that antibiotics kill off the good bacteria, since may of this year i have been on keflex Twice, Cipro Twice, Doxycycline Twice, Bactrim Twice, Azthromycin Twice and have 3 rocephin shots. now thats alot of antibiotics, and i have noticed that i have some intertrigo yeast, under my stomach and in my crotch and scrotum area. is the antibiotics why?
Avatar f tn I think it's a friction issue but you may also have a urinary tract infection unrelated to a sexuallly transmitted disease. you need to get your urine tested and take an antibiotic if you have one. Don't let them give you Cipro. Get something milder like Keflex or amoxicillin. Cipro causes long-term issues. Just tell them you're allergic to Cipro. Makes you vomit or break out. Do not take it.
Avatar m tn Minerals that should be avoided when taking Cipro are iron, calcium, zinc and stomach remedies and also coffee. The antibiotic instructions leaflet does give advice and warnings as to regard to what to avoid, whether it be some types of food, other medications, mineral supplements and also whether to avoid sunshine as this can cause adverse skin reactions. I have never heard of natural yogurt not being good for anyone (expect those who have an intolerance to lactose and whey).
Avatar m tn All tests came back negative, and the doctor put me on Cipro for prostatitis. I took Cipro for 4 weeks,but haven't seen much progress. I am also experiencing a significant amount of anxiety about my exposure. I am certain that I used a condom and there was no penetration without a condom in place- BUT it still seems that I may have contracted something. Obviously my major anxiety surrounds the possibility of contracting HIV.

Avatar f tn m in and due in about 6 weeks and every time I get prescribed keflex and both my girls are fine and so is my son.
Avatar n tn It has been 21 days since the encounter I have had no symptoms that I can relate to STD from reading the forum. The only condition I have currently is swollen left jaw. I sneezed and felt some thing “pop’ and now my jaw is swollen. I’m not claiming it to be a symptom I just do not want to over look any details. I have yearly STD/HIV screening with the last being in November and all results were negative.
