cipro and vision

Well, symptoms definitely persister, and got a lot worse, so I changed doctors and he tested me for Gonorrhea and Chlamydia. Chlamydia came back negative, but positive for Gonorrhea. He gave me a script for 2 Cipro 500 mg a day for 5 days and a doxy regimine too (just to be safe towards anything else that could be hiding). Well, it's been 10 days since I finished the Cipro and I'm still having problems.

Peeing clots, ER said cystitis with gross hematuria, pain right ribs and a lump, hard to swallow, big lump right side of my neck, hard to breath, blurry and double vision, fatigue, weight loss, hands and feet cramping up, tingling, high blood pressure, nervousness/anxiety, heart racing and palpatations, no fever and this has been going on over three weeks. I did accidentally leave tampon in for four days before everything started. Please help. No insurance at the moment.

The association between Cipro and eye damage has not been established definitively as yet. However, you should report your case to Dr. Frederick Fraunfelder at the Eye Drug Registry. The registry's email is ***@****. The registry is accumulating data on the association between vitreous damage and Cipro.

However it has been reported that treatment with FLOMAX capsules for up to 12 months had no significant effect on prostate-specific antigen (PSA) and does not effect prostate. It effect the vision and may cause blurred vision but that is found in only 0.2- 2% of the patients. It is very difficult to precisely confirm a diagnosis without examination and investigations and the answer is based on the medical information provided. For exact diagnosis, you are requested to consult your doctor.

I am being treated for a urinary infections with both antibiotics (Cipro) and antivirals (valtrex) because the cause is unknown. My question is, is it safe to mix both medicines?

I have taken Cipro for Urniary Tract Infections on and off for about 7 years. Last year the frequency of infections was about every 2 months. This winter I have had less than a month between symptoms. My doctor gave me a prescription for Macrobid in case I need it. I have taken it for the first time the past three days and the infection is still quite apparent especially during the night when I can feel the internal discomfort.

Be careful with using Cipro and other antibiotics and use it only as directed by your Physician. I was misdiagnoised with a urinary tract infection that time showed it wasn't and was prescribed Cipro. This drug and others in its class have a nasty side effect - mine was labral tears of the right shoulder and right hip. My Mother suffers from sinus infections and she has found that her Chiropractor successfully treats her by draining her sinus.

Im traveling in mexico and got pretty sick (my best guess is it was 'Travelers Diarrhea' or maybe food poisioning) I went to the pharmacy and got 500mg Cipro pills. I took one and got a horrible headache and vomitted alot. My symptoms seem to be gone however would it be a bad idea to stop taking the Cipro? I know people say you should always finish a course of antibiotics but in this case I dont know if I need them.

Thanks u guys!

I have taken cipro a lot too and it hasn't bothered me before. But I recently took it and after 1 dose my heart started acting weird. Any antibiotic of that class can cause heart palpitations. Unfortunately, most of the antibiotics I can take have that potential side effect, I'm allergic to penicillin.

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.

I took 1 dose of 500mg Cipro Friday night at 5:30p.m. Immediately felt flushed and red in the face. I continue to have flare ups 3 days later. How long does this take to go away.

is it safe to take 125 mg of cipro each day for 6 months I was prescribed this for a UTI that keeps coming back. Also the pharmacy that filled the prescription gave me 250mg tablets and told me they aren't made in 125mg. and for me to break in half . But the info that comes with the meds says not to break.crush, or chew.

no, it will effect the medication and either make it not work or intensfy. it will say on the bottle of the medication not to take the meds. with alcohol.

I had to take 20 days of Cipro for prostate infection. The e coli count was > 100,000. It took 4 or 5 day to take the temperature down and then it was a matter of getting through the 20 days. Right after I got off of Cipro (~2days) I was feeling constipated, A week after (yesterday) I realized my spleen was swollen (first time ever). Wife is a nurse and new where it was located.

Please be very careful with Cipro. Look up all the side effects of this on the computer ASAP. I was on cipro 250mg for one month then doctor raised it to 500mg. I no sooner took the larger dose than I started to jerk in sleep and had problems with numbness/tingling in both arms from elbow to finger tips. Shook like i had parkinsons. I will NEVER take cipro again!

I am suffering from chronic eye static that does not resolve in both eyes. When I close my eyes I see "snow" akin to a tv channel without a signal. And approximately once a week, I will get oppressive headaches around my temples and eyes, accompanied by chills. I am experiencing odd swelling in my hands and random mild joint pain. I feel subtly more tired than usual. These symptoms begain a little over 1.5 months ago after a trip to South America. From Dec. 18, 2007 - Jan.

A couple years after my first infection, I started noticing blurred vision, and fatigue. About three months ago, I experienced pain and swelling now on the right side, with little discomfort from the left. I went back to my urologist, and again, treatment of antibiotics, support etc., this time with almost no improvement. During my follow up visit, he prescribed yet another course of Cipro, and suggested that the cyst from the left side be removed, there was nothing more to do.

I tested rpr after 16 weeks of possible exposure and it was negative but i take cipro from 6 months for prostata. Can cipro give false negative after 16 weeks for this test?

Many strains of gonorrhea are now resistant to cipro, and he can continue to increase the dose, and its still not going to work.

t been able to confirm. As a result, I went to a pharmacy and got a 10-pack of 500mg Cipro and a 3 pack of 500mg Zipro. I took 1000mg of Cipro and 1000mg of Zipro yesterday and another 500mg of each today. Have a I taken enough of these drugs to kill both bacterial infections, and if so, how long should it take to clear up an infection if I do indeed have one?

Latest research indicates cipro type medications do not cause PVD or RD any more than general population. A PVD rarely ever detaches 100% and remains attached around the rim of the retina near the part of the eye called the ora serratta. This is called the "vitreous base" Even with all the tests we do OCT, dilated exams, ophthalmoloscopy its not possible to tell with a PVD is 50% or 60% or 70% or any % detached.

In early april I was diagnosed with Chronic Prostatitis (which I can remember suffering from for a while and thinking it was bloating/cramps). I started taking Cipro 500 twice a day and I noticed significant improvement of my condition, even though I'm not 100% cured.
