cipro

Avatar f tn I was given Cipro for possible salmonella, and am concerned about all of the side effects I have been reading about. Is this a safe drug? I woke up with anxiety and some stiffness this morning, and am scared it's going to get worse. Please help.
Avatar n tn 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.
Avatar f tn It is but in higher dosesthere research that incorrect cipro dosage can induce persistence, so do not medicate yourself, but go to an urologist
Avatar n tn If you are, refer your doctor to the 2006 CDC STD Treatment Guidelines where it says that cipro should not be used any longer. They did an update in April 2007 - here it is: http://www.cdc.gov/std/treatment/2006/updated-regimens.
Avatar m tn 4-5 leukocytes per field / 50 fields, however, a week later had a second urine anlysis and results came back all negative, but still have slight burning symptoms. The doctor has put me on CIPRO been on medication now for 6 days now 500mgx2 daily, my burning symptoms have slightly improved, but now that I noticed my urine today I am worried could it be discharge? STD.
Avatar m tn I am trying to get something in writing to show that this decision does not follow within the accepted guidelines for treatment of his form of Hepititis. I believe the Dr. in Az. may have made this decision not realizing he did not have a 12 week blood sample. My son is 43 years old and in otherwise good health. He has not had any symptoms of Hep C nor has he had any side effects from the treatments.

This discussion is related to <a href='http://www.medhelp.org/posts/show/247377'>Keflex</a>.
Avatar n tn 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?
280485 tn?1249013844 I have read numerous posts stating what the RAI dosage was for various people and their different cancers. I had a VERY small nodule that was cancersous, no mestatis and received 98mCi. Others who have seemed to have had way more serious sounding cancers have gotten lower doses in some cases. To put this in perspective, Hopeful436 is a friend, and her cancer was similar to mine. Her nodules were even a bit larger than mine, and yet she got 50mCi of Radiation...?
Avatar m tn They prescribed Cipro on the basis that there were some traces of Bacteria. I am almost done with the Cipro dosage (7 days) and also have been drinking a lot of water and cranberry juice. No relief at all. Is there something else that could be causing this? What should I look to do (or have checked) next? Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
Avatar f tn The only thin gwas my lip will get irritated sting, then chap up and dry out on the lower lip but no sores/blisters gone in like 2 days . Now i have had feelings of a UTI, but taking Cipro in Three day doses and it was gone. I dont know what to think. Because i know the Acid in the urine, if it runs on a sore will cause it to burn, but if a typical out break last up to a week or two and the cipro clears the uti or feeling in three days is there any linkage??? or just a typical uti?
Avatar n tn where are these guidelines????
Avatar m tn 1 gm of zithromax and 500gm of Cipro all in single dosage, is that all or do I need to see the doctor again
Avatar f tn After taking a days dosage of Cipro***
Avatar m tn for the riba. HGB is at new low of 8.4; wbc up at 2.6. Riba is to be decreased (we have to check if pill can be cut) from 400 2x a day to 200 -1x and 400 -1x; I know hep md is following guidelines of Merck (I'm also on Vic) and Mayo in reduction. No rescue drugs given or suggested. No wonder doing the simplest things was exhausting! Go in for wk 16 vl tomorrow; LFT are coming in at normal range.
Avatar f tn I am still symptomatic (ie tired, weak leg muscles, lump in throat, etc), but my doc said as long as I was within the normals, she would not increase my dosage. I thought I read in another post to you that the goal is to keep the TSH around 1, is that true? (Mine went from .774 to .887). I would like to send her an article or a standard of care if there is one. I have access to all journals. Can you recommend something that might give her more information.
Avatar m tn Please read the Posting Guidelines, 6/11/10. We are a group of people who suffer from anxiety, not psychiatrists. Only your doctor can advise you on dosage.
Avatar m tn Thats why initially I thought it was possibly a UTI, but with the discharge I was leaning more towards an STD. Maybe I didn't take the Cipro long enough. I took the dosage (2 a day) for 10 days (2 packs). I am currently in Ghana and the have yet to find a clinic that does same day STD test. I waited 5 hours to even meet the doctor for my consultation. I just don't want to risk whatever I have getting worse.
Avatar n tn what would be the proper dosage of penicillin g sodium (i.m.) for the treatment of a 35 yr old male with secondary syphillis...less than one year.
Avatar m tn After two days the discharge lost its yellow, thick state to a more clear and watery fluid. I am now on my 6th Cipro 500mg, but I woke up this morning, only to see a cloudy fluid again. I am also feeling a slight burning after urination. Is it that the bacterium has become immune to the drug? Will I need to get more Cipro or another drug to combat this infection? Since Cipro is a broad spectrum drug, if the bacterium becomes immune to it, can it still be cured? What are your suggestions?
Avatar n tn i went to my doctor who took a urine sample and a swab and then put me on two 250mg doses of cipro per day. the symptoms subsided in 12 hours and were almost entirely gone in 24 hrs. 3 days later he called me and said that there was some scant evidence of gonorrhea from the culture. he told me to take a double dose of the cipro that night (500mg) and prescribed a 500mg dose of azithromycin to take with it. the symptoms seem to have disappeared.
1658980 tn?1330711550 My WBC and ANC dropped on my week 4 labs - WBC is 1.46 and ANC is .67 (670) and trial level for dosage reduction is .75 (750) so I am directed to reduce peg from 180 to 135mcg. A drop to .5 and neupogen is indicated. Then I read a lot of posts from people that would try anything including rescue drugs rather than reduce their dosage. Others say the neupogen has its own set of sx and they would rather reduce. Others would rather wait until ANC drops to .
Avatar m tn 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.
