Common Questions and Answers about Cipro recommended dosage

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 Following that, I returned for analysis week later and urine revealed still some infection as well as blood in urine. Two week dosage of Cipro was given to me. Returned after the 2 weeks and the latest urine analysis showed no infection but still some blood in the urine. Doctor felt it could be a kidney cyst, kidney stones or prostatitis. My question is surrounding my initial diagnosis.
Avatar f tn I am concerned that this will be my life and am wondering if I should consider surgery. I am reading that cipro and flagyl will stop working. This is the third time I have taken it as I had to take it twice the first time.
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?
Avatar f tn My doc prescribed me 1 g of zithromycin and 500mg of cipro for gonorrhea and chlamydia. I have some strange antibiotic allergies. He explained that cipro is not as effective and we would retest. But how un effective is it and is it safe to be taken together? I just got them today and am nervous because the pharmacist said I should be careful if I have any heart problems...which I don't.
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 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 m tn Only visual symptom is a slightly swollen/darker meatus that is not painful to touch. I noticed that Cipro seemed to be the most effective drug and that seemed odd because cipro is not the recommended treatment against NGU infections. Should I take a herpes blood test and if so how long should I wait? Or could this be some other kind of infection or virus?
Avatar n tn My doctor just put me on Cipro for a UTI. I am also on the pill (Ovcon 35). Can the Cipro cause the pill to be less effective? Answer: When a woman is taking oral contraceptives and has to also take antibiotics (such as Cipro) that could decrease the effectiveness of the oral contraceptives, it is recommended that she use a back up method of contraception (i.e. a condom) during the entire time she is on the antibiotics and for 7 days after she stops taking the antibiotics.
Avatar n tn The regimens you mention are recommended for urethral gonorrhea, not pharyngeal infection. They might work but they are not recommended because of concern for failures. There are a substantial proportion of gonorrhea strains which are resistant to cipro and doxy. that is the reason I did not suggest them. Yes untreated gonorrhea may go away on its own...... or it may not. How does that help you? This will end this thread. You have my advice.
Avatar f tn After taking a days dosage of Cipro***
Avatar n tn failure was noticed before ejaculation and soap and water cleansing was started immediately. total exposure was less than one to two minutes. I am in a area with access to cipro over the counter and will begin a 5 day dosage for good measure. I have done so much inet reaseach that my head is swimming and anxeity is high.
Avatar m tn I researched online what the recommended dosage was and it said 1 mega dose of 800mg. I have taken 2 800mg doses in 2 days and a 400mg dose on the 3rd day. I have not had any real pain when urinating or ejaculating, just a slight irritation sometimes and there is no discharge. My questions are as follows: 1. Can an STD show symptoms that fast? 2. Could it be mental from me knowing what I did? 3.
Avatar m tn Saw my doctor because terrible irritation in penis tip, sore testicles and having to urinate all night. No burning when I pee or discharge but significant pain at tip. Doctor did first catch urine test; neg for leuk & nitrates, said it could be prostatis so he gave me 7 days of Cipro. Had a minor surgery a few days later so did not take it. The next week it got even worse, so went to urologist. Same symptoms but worse. Dr. asked if it could be std, I told him I doubt it...
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 m tn 3) Cipro would generally cure gonorrhea; and although not recommended treatment against chlamydia, it would probably turn the tests negative, at least for a while. 4) [Missing] 5) Your partner should be tested and treated. 6,7) Yes, you should go ahead with testing. See an STD knowledgeable health care provider and follow his or her advice about the details. If you were my patient, I would suggest waiting until at least a week after your last dose of cipro.
Avatar n tn Thick discharge, abdominal discomfort, frequent urination. Was given swab test 5 days after encounter, and a single large dose of (I think) Cipro. Symptoms disappeared almost immediately. Swab test came back negative for chlamydia and gonorrhea. Blood test also returned negative. On day 8, I experienced a return of symptoms. Very warm sensation behind and (seemingly) in the testicles. Also a thin discharge and frequent urination.
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.
Avatar m tn I have taken 1000mg of Zithromax and 500mg Cipro for Gonorrhea and Clamydia this was 5 day ago. My symptoms are much better and get better by the day. I still have a slight tingle feeling at the tip of my penis and a slight urge to urinate (especially when I sit) again though, better today than yesterday. I also suspect that I make the sinsations worse just thinking about it so much.
