Avatar m tn you were given cipro for a cough? cipro has side effects you should contact your doctor since you're experiencing symptoms and they can give you somehting else, you shouldn't continue taking something that you're having a bad reaction to... I'm not a doctor and you should consult yours for further direction. Also, this is an STD forum are you concerned about an STD??
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.
1442701 tn?1286383987 I thought that maybe I had pulled a muscle in my back even though I didn't even throw the ball that many to times since my lower left side of my back had been hurting. Felt like labor pains Monday night it hurt so bad. On Cipro now. I just wondered if anyone else has unexpected kidney infections too.
1726450 tn?1316282511 Here at the transplant center they give us Cipro during hepatitis C treatment to prevent infections. I tool it for months. Seemed to work. No infections.
Avatar f tn have Been having chronic yeast Infections for the past year. 2 months ago I got an UTI and after I took cipro two weeks later I got these flesh colored bumps on the side of my vulva that aren’t painful and do not itch. Just annoying to feel it there and very insecure about it...they look like skin tags but not sure. Have had one sex partner consistently in the past 5 months but he has no symptoms anywhere. Is it irritation from the infections and uti? Or hpv bumps?
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.
738333 tn?1232967475 has anyone experienced skin infections on face, scalp, chest? looks like i have chicken pox, i had kidney stone in nov, they put me on cipro, but i think it's not completly cured.
Avatar m tn Not a happy ending. Cipro has been used with MRSA infections, which, untreated have a 20% mortality. Taking yogurt with Cipro allows the MRSA to spread out of control. In this case imageine a fire just starting. You can put out a match with a cup of water. Once the fire has engulfed the home thousands of gallons of water may be required. With calcium sensitive medications at least three hours should lapse before ingesting calcium products.
Avatar f tn Perhaps this is not the right venue, as I'm certain I don't have an STD because there was no encounter. However, I am showing signs of urethritis. I won't get into specifics, but likely due to introducing old masturbation toys. Cipro is not recommended, I believe due to it's ineffectiveness against other STD's. If the NGU is not from and STD, would the drug be effective?
Avatar f tn Also, I am being treated with Cipro, which I just took a round of that for a UT about 2.5 months ago. Should I be repeating the same antibotic so soon, and will it be as effective if I do.
867582 tn?1311627397 One of the antibiotics (the 3rd one) was Cipro (which I had actually requested because I had read that it was so good for urinary tract infections). I will say that Cipro was, indeed, effective at zapping my infection.
Avatar n tn I thought I had something else and my doctor found that I had a UTI he perscribed Cipro 500mg twice a day for a week. I seem to be going through some bad reactions. I even thought I had HIV. Skin burrning , itching skin, abnormal amount of acne all over the body. I have recently developed photosensitivity. I was out side next day my face developed a rash. Again I thought i had something else never thought of the cipro.
Avatar n tn Any body can ans what kind of side effects that has cipro to use for long time......
Avatar f tn Told me she started me on Cipro as precautionary measure for poss UTI. At this point (9-10 days into it) told me to stop the Cipro antibiotic (was prescribed two weeks) visual exam showed nothing. Most likely was symptoms of HSV2 and would subside in normal window. Gave me more pyridine. I asked about prostate, he told me absoluteley no connection or possibility. Wouldn't urine test show fungal infection? And yes, new partner as of a month or so.
Avatar f tn It is especially useful for some types of chest infections, and skin, intestinal , and urinary tract infections. Possible Adverse Effects Ciprofloxacin commonly causes nausea and vomiting; other side effects are less common, except when high doses are given. Painful and inflamed tendons should be reported to your physician at one, treatment should be discontinued, and the affected limbs rested.
Avatar m tn Levaquin is used to treat bacterial infections of the skin, sinuses, kidneys, bladder, or prostate. Levaquin is also used to treat bacterial infections that cause bronchitis or pneumonia. Hope this is helpful. Sorry I'm tardy with my response.
2030686 tn?1351688548 My son is given a Z-pack, for pneumonia, which is call Azithromyacin, I think. It is a five day course, with the first day 2 pills, and the next 3 days,one pill. Have you tried this? The problem seems to be, while our bodies our busy, fighting this virus, it is easier for us to get bacterial and fungal infections, unfortunately. There are many different types of antibiotics, and super strong ones used, for medically resistant infections.
Avatar n tn Do cipro cause vaginal discharge and oder and disconfort in my stomach and back and sluggishness? This discussion is related to Discomfort after taking Cipro.
Avatar f tn I have had chronic bladder infections for years and have seen several different Urologists some in single practice, some in large practices with multiple doctors and even at large medical centers like the Cleveland Clinic and U of M Medical Center. I have brought in multiple urine samples which were tested then sent away for testing. They always come back showing bacteria. I've taken enough antibiotics to become allergic to Sulfa, Bactrum,Cipro and Tetracycline.
Avatar n tn 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.
1580703 tn?1651904887 I've had a few UTIs and fungal jock itch or purple rash in the groin over the last few years, which seem to have been pretty serious. my skin looks clear but on the inside I think there's a lot of vessel damage. my penis skin was peeling and there were these cuts or sores on the top of the penis that wouldn't heal. maybe the fungus got into my urinary tract and infected my prostate and everything? it's terrible is there anything to repair the numbness and vessels?
Avatar m tn If you want to substitute Cipro for one of these other drugs Cipro is in the same drug class as Levofloxacin. Levofloxacin will have the similar side effect though. Strep group B is the problem allthough it depends on if the prostate sample was collected sterilily such as a biopsy. If so then the virudans strep could also be the problem and viridans strep are more resistant to antibiotics.
Avatar f tn Yes usually the Cipro would be fairly soon during or right after taking the Cipro. I assume you have been tested for diabetes? Then there is just perhaps tendonitis or carpal tunnel. If you do a lot of repetitive work. Yes you are right probably the muscle twitching is still electrolyte imbalance with all the diarrhea. The new guidelines are to take 2-3 stool cultures for C. diff to make sure you have it because the toxin test can come up false negative.
Avatar f tn I have taken Cipro with no problem. My cardio actually recommends it for people like us with pvc's.
Avatar m tn purell is not meant to be used on our sensitive genital skin. it was the purell that caused your twinges. fyi - washing up after sex is meaningless except for to make you smell better. std's don't lay on the skin to work their way into your body, they are transmitted during the sex act itself. most adults test + for hsv1. It's incredibly common, most of us have it orally and most of us don't get obvious cold sores to know that we are infected.
