cipro

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.
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 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 You can get one symptom or 2 or 3 or none with a STD. Cipro might cure gonorrhea or chlymida. You would have to wait about 2 weeks after the cipro is finished so you do not get a false negative. I would finish the medication and if things are better then not worry about it. If things are not better or symptoms come back then follow up with your Dr and test for STD's.
Avatar n tn I can honestly say, that even from this one dosage of the antibiotics that I have taken, I feel worlds better than the past week. Cipro, is used to kill the bad bacteria from your body that causes several infections like UTI, and cystitis to name a few. Once again my friend, my hats go off to you for your speedy and precise help.
Avatar f tn thanks i will mention 2 ob cipro ,somethings gotta heal this b4 i go crazy !
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 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 i was about to be cured from Gonorrhea but i skip some dosage of cephalexin, my problem now is i need to switch to CIPROFLOXACIN but i found out that it wasn't working for me some how im one of those patient's who were resistant to it according to the UPDATES on GONORRHEA RESISTANCE... should i go back to cephalexin? my dosage before was 500mg 3x a day...

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 m tn on Tuesday and he performed a urine culture and told that I have a UTI and prescribed Cipro. Since I am so nervouse and anxious, I had an STD test (blood, urine) and the results came in today as negative. I still feel a little bruning and discomfort. My question is could I have had a false reading from the STD testing since I was on Cipro for a UTI two days prior to taking the STD test? Please respond quick as Im very nervous.
Avatar f tn t really think anything of it because i have always had to use the bathroom alot. Well, about two weeks ago i started having the classic symptoms of UTI, which i have gotten alot of in the past so i thought for sure that's what it was. I was out of town at the time visiting my mom, and i was desperate so i took some Septra that she had. Well after 4 days it wasn't getting better so i went to an urgent care clinic.
1840891 tn?1431547793 I talked to my PCP today to ask about the dose of cipro and she said that it sounds like the infection was moving very rapidly and was probably already in my kidneys (the fever and chills made her think that), and whenever it has spread to the kidneys then one should take the higher dosage of cipro, 500mg rather than 250mg. So she called in a new Rx and I've already switched over to the higher dose.I hope it cures me faster.
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.
867582 tn?1311627397 I recently took a 3 day course of Cipro for a UTI. I have alot of tendon pain already, as I am also battling Lyme disease, but I will "BOLO"! (Be on the look out.
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 f tn YES, I do have a UTI.........went to hospital out clinic this morning and very nice MD (they still make them) and he said pus on cells and put me on Cipro and call Friday if not better. Thanks for enouragement guys, you know I hate giving in and going to the docs!
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 f tn Major pain. Went to urgent care diagnosed with a UTI. Dr gave Cipro, diflucan and AZO. After 3 days they called to say my culture results showed Cipro wasn't the correct meds. Micro bid was the new med. I've had lower abdomen pain since off and on. Is it not working? Do I have a major case of yeast? I took another diflucan thinking it could be yeast pain. Weird pain.....
Avatar m tn when the doctor put in the indwelling catheter, she already had urine retention for a long time and never had UTI despite she was not using catheters. Plus, she was taking cranberry juice and Cipro since October 2015 to keep dry her foot gangrene, and Cipro has a large field of action, even on UTI. (That day, she also took 5mg Isorbid sublingual tablets) Can she have a UTI in 5-6 days then develop into sepsis then septic shock all in 13 days? Why the Cipro did not act?
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 n tn t hurt, but afterwards there can be a slight stinging sensation. Reading up on symptoms I can either have a UTI or gonorrhea.
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 f tn I had very brief unprotected sex 32 days before my UTI symptoms began. Is it possible this is a resistant UTI, or should I be worried about an STD? Is the presence of E.Coli enough to go on? My partner said he was tested within the last year and is clean. Thank you for your help.
