Cipro and itching
Common Questions and Answers about Cipro and itching
cipro
Unfortunately, doctors in the US sometimes give Cipro for anything.
I was prescribed Cipro for and URI. I started to itch so my doctor told me to discontinue it because I am allergic to Sulfa drugs. I have been itching on my thighs, arms, face, hands, ears and elbows. My eyes also swell when I scratch I see bruises. What could possibly be wrong with me.. My blood work was normal.
This time I noticed again after 30 minutes the sensation were strong and the itch burning. I have stopped taking cipro for 2 days now and the skin has stopped itching but is still blotchy and flaking (not quite peeling). I've never had anything like this before and I can surely attribute it to the drug. I don't think I've ever had a reaction to it before but I do recall taking it once before, for a urinary tract infection.
Last week, I was diagnosed with a UTI. I was prescribed 500mg of Cipro and I took it two times a day for five days. On my last day, I noticed that my vaginal discharge had changed colors. It was a very, very, very light brown (tan) color, but I didn't think much of it until it progressively got darker. (I've also had very slight vaginal itching, but it only happens a couple times a day.
Around 7 weeks post exposure, the symptoms seemd to come back - mainly a painful sensation in the tip of my penis and the anal itching - and I visited my local PP clinic. I was again tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia as well as given the oral test for HIV and a herpes blood test. At the time I was also given a 7 day regime of doxycycline. All the tests again came back negative. The pain in the tip of my penis comes and goes as does the anal itching. Do I need more testing?
I had an STD screen three days into my Cipro cycle and it came back negative. I completed the 10 day cycle of Cipro, had a 7 day cycle of Doxocycline due to symptoms persisting, and then had another test done 4 days after the completion of Doxocycline. All tests were negative.
I am currently back on Cipro after seeing a urologist. He was not concerned with STD as I passed two screens already, but I'm not sure of thier accuracy because of the meds I was one.
My questions:
1.
I woke up yesterday with my right, top outer ear (front and back) being red, a little warm swollen and itching uncontrollably. I took some Benadryl last night and it helped me sleep, but it continues to itch like crazy! What could it be and what can I do to help control the non-stop itching? Thanks!
I started out with a burning sensation while I urinated that existed right underneath my penis for about 3 weeks. I went to the doctor when the burning first started and was prescribed Cipro for yeast infection.After 3 days on Cipro I went to the STD clinic and checked me for Chlamydia, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, and aids. Which all came back negative. After taken 10 days of Cipro with no results, I went back to the doctor and he called a urologist for advice. Urologist then prescribed me Rapaflow.
Hi-
I have had the same feeling for the past three weeks. Especially my face and scalp. I thought it might have been scabies but the doctor stated it was a reaction to a bug bite and that scabies don't infest the scalp and face, gave me anti-itch cream and wrote me off. After two weeks, I still itch but now it's accompanied by pins and needles sensation which increases the itching. I also get tiny pimple like bumps immediately followin the itch.
Since then within two days I felt itching inside my penis but no discharge. I saw doctor and doctor gave me cipro 500 with granules for 5 days. I felt good during the course. But still the symptoms existed. I saw an expert urologist and he gave me zinnat 500 with pantazol 40 for 10 days. Both doctors took me 3 urine test, 1 blood test, 1 cervical x-ray and 1 USG (though it is yet to checked by doctor but the technician says me nothing abnormal). Now this course is also finished.
After 3 days I started feeling disconfortable in my tummy and testcles, then fever like and then went to a clinic and was given cipro and docxy. The condition improved and before completing the medication itching started on my head of my penis and then sores, I went back to the clinic and they put me on paincllin injection, 3 once a week and doxcy, sores dissapared but came back after finishing injection, I went back, was given 1 injection of Gentamicine and Cipro for five days.
now I have a tear on my vaginal hood and peeling and cuts and itching on my labia majora but no crazy discharge no burning during urination just mild things...I was able to take the tonsil stones out but there is still a pocket there and some pus on the other side..but cannot be reached? Is this chlamydia...Ive been crying and stressing all day about this please help! also i got tested for strep and it came out negative and my school nurse said nothing was wrong...
I have noticed burning/itching in the fold of skin between the scrotum and thigh as well as itching on the thighs and lower abdomen. Do you think this could this be related or caused from the medication? Also I experienced severe abdomenal and back pain on my right side on Saturday as well as the urethra pain on and off for a month. Is this common and how long does it take for symptoms to typically go away? Do you think I may need more cypro?
So I've had this problem for a while now that after I ejaculate, the tip of penis itches (like in the urethra). Also, there is usually some clear discharge afterwards when I go limp. Sometimes there is a foul odor during ejaculation as well. Also, I have had a problem for as long as I can remember that my urine continues to drip out after I'm done urinating. I went to the doctor earlier this week with these symptoms and was prescribed with ciprofloxacin.
Took them but didnt help much. My testicle pain was on and off mildly. Itching had near enough stopped and no white things coming out of my penis. Called the GUM clinic 2 weeks later for my results and said everything was clear (surprised as the doc when i was there did say there seemed to be something).
So i went back to my GP who said next step was an ultrasound. I went for that and everything came back normal. I am now waiting for my urologist appointment.
We’ve since been on 1 round of nitrofurantoin and 2 rounds of cipro (first a 7 day and then a 10 day). She’s had no other symptoms but itching. We go back for urine test in am and I’m sure she still has the bacteria as she is itching. All the tests showed either a small amount or moderate amount of blood but all tests were negative for nitrates and leukocytes. The enterococus keeps increasing with each round of antibiotic.
I was tested for chlamydia and gonorrhea on 1/30, because I was experiencing discomfort in the tip of my penis. I took one Cipro pill on 1/30 and 7 days of doxycycline (2 per day 100 mg). As of today, the test results are still not back (Planned Parenthood must use the slowest possible test facilities). I have not had any sexual contact since 1/28 except with myself. I am still experiencing discomfort in the tip of my penis, and today that has turned into an itching sensation.
I went to the doctor after a few days and was prescribed cipro. After about 3 days on Cipro I had a bad sore throat and diarrhea, sore throat went away in 2-3 days and my doctor attributed diarrhea to Cipro. I continued Cipro for 2 weeks and the diarrhea improved after I stopped cipro. After about 15 days of stopping cipro (7 weeks from likely exposure), I started getting skin rash. This skin rash is slightly itchy in small patches over shoulders, trunk, arms and are small patches.
I am married. A week ago Friday, I was really intoxicated and I thought I agreed to have a stripper "take care of me" with her hand. Instead it was with her mouth with no protection for about 3min. I also kissed her before she did this. On Monday I had a sore throat and was generally not feeling well. On Tuesday, I paid for a urine test for C/G. On Tuesday night I began self-medicating with cipro 500mg every 12 hours for about 36 hours.
Severe allergic reactions (rash; hives; itching; difficulty breathing; tightness in the chest; swelling of the mouth, face, lips, or tongue); bloody or tarry stools; burning, numbness, tingling, pain, or weakness of the arms, hands, legs, or feet; chest pain; dark urine or unusual change in amount of urine; fainting; fever, chills, or unusual cough; hallucinations; inability to move or bear weight on a joint or tendon area; irregular heartbeat; loss of consciousness; moderate to severe sunburn
I may just be working this up in my mind and Cipro and Azythro worked and got whatever it was and left the symptoms behind (not sure what it was, the original test did not culture the bacteria).
As a precaution, he put me on Bactrim for 7 days. He is not sure it will have any effect.
I am ready to ask for Avelox and go at this full force, but if it is not MG, it is a waste with alot of potential side effects.
Any input is appreciated. Thanks for listening.
