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 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 f tn December 16, 2016, diagnosed with UTI was placed on the antibiotic Bactrim, symptoms did not go away went to the walk in clinic they repeated the urine and it showed UTI. Placed me on Cipro symptoms were not any better,culture from walk in showed contamination so they wanted to repeat the specimen. Went to the clinic and gave a repeat specimen, it showed Entercoccus was placed on Augmentin. From research I have found that the only thing that works on Entercoccus bacteria is vancomycin.

364288 tn?1300144506 Hi girls I had a question about UTI's. I recently just got over a UTI last week. I took a 3 day course of cipro and thought I did great over the weekend. Now I'm feeling like I have to go to the bathroom all the time but I'm not feeling any burning or anything just the urgency to go and having hardly anything come out. What is going on? I thought the cipro would do the trick and get rid of the infection!! Help!!
Avatar m tn I was given macrobid but it did not work. I was then given a long dosage of Cipro and I feel much better but the cramps are somewhat there. I believe I have pid. I tested negative for chlamydia and Gonnerrhea and all other stds.
Avatar f tn Since i had antibiotics in my system, the urine test came back negative for a uti. So the doctor gave me cipro to take for 7 days and told me she was going to send my urine off for culture. Well i have been on the cipro now for 3 days and it still hurts everytime i urinate. I'm really confused because i don't understand what else this could be. I have thought about STD's, but i am married and am monogamous on my part.
Avatar f tn Does anyone know if cipro will treat a UTI. cause i dont wanna go through all the **** with the doc. i have cipro here but am unsure to take it or not.. help !?
Avatar f tn thanks i will mention 2 ob cipro ,somethings gotta heal this b4 i go crazy !
Avatar f tn I am a diabetic patient I took Cipro for UTI, I stopped it 15days back .
Avatar n tn After my period, I kept having the urge to pee even when I went and my uti strip said I had blood in my urine..so my doctor put me on cipro for five days. It seems I'm probably allergic to it and I don't want to take anything else. Would a zpak work for me? I've taken three Benadryls today just to rid of the horrible symptoms. I'm only 18 and pretty fed up with medicines.
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 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 f tn The reason that the other poster could have been cured by cipro is that she may have had a Mycoplasma and it may have been sensitive to ciprofloxacin. But the standard treatment for bv is either metronidazole or Clindamycin. So you can try the cipro and see if it clears up but if it doesn't then if can take clindamycin I would then take probiotics after. Cipro can treat a lot of UTI's but not all. It depends on the bacteria that is causing the infection and how resistant it is.
Avatar f tn Since i had antibiotics in my system already, the urine test for a UTI came back normal. So the doctor told me to quit taking the Septra, and she prescribed me Cipro. Well 4 days after that it still wasn't getting any better, so once i had gotten back into town i went to another urgent care clinic. Well as usual the urine test came back normal, so i told them to test me for any STD's. In the mean time the doctor told me to stop taking the Cipro and he prescribed me Doxycycline.
Avatar n tn I was told to continue my dosage of Cipro adn to take Benadryl. After I was done with the Cipro, I still had hives. My hives would be very itchy, swollen adn would come on one part of my body, then after a couple of minutes dissapear and appear on another part. I was given Preginsone for 5 days and continued with the Benadryl. This did nothing. Then I was given Reactin which helped reduce the amount of hives and the itch. I was on Reactine for a bit over a week.
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 m tn is sensitive to. I think perhaps the Cipro is the wrong medication for you. If the UTI has gone into your kidneys, then they will need to change your medication. Also, if you are having pain upon urination, they can give you Pyridium which is an analgesic for the urinary system. Be sure you drink plenty of water to flush out the bacteria.
Avatar m tn The nurse used only one on January 3rd and I tried to use 3 others but could not introduce them well, then we discontinued. On January 8th/9th, she began showing the symptoms for UTI that are not clear for nonagerians. On Jan 10th, her BP was 70/40. On Jan 15th, when she went to hospital with a lot of pain (back, chest...
Avatar n tn I have been struggling to get over what I thought was a UTI for the past month. (I was given a course of cipro without my Naturopathic Doc doing a urinalysis because I was going out of town the day after my symptoms began). I took the cipro (it was a short dose- 3 days, taken 2 times per day), and started to feel better. Then about a week later symptoms came back, tried to treat it naturally and then decided to try the cipro again.
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.
