cipro and pneumonia

It could also occur due to other causes like tumors or pulmonary embolism. As the primary cause namely the pneumonia resolves, the sputum production and hemoptysis should resolve. Hope this helped and do keep us posted.

I have had a cold for over a week now. I took one cipro 500 pill and then decided I needed to see my doctor. I took that at 5PM. My doctor prescribed prednisone and azithromycin. I have checked and seen that there are interactions in taking these drugs together. How long until the cipro 500 is out of my system so I can begin the other antibiotics and prednizone? Thank you.

I just got done with 2 rounds of antibiotics for a stubborn uti (not unusual for me) and now I'm getting pneumonia. I know the burning in the back of my throat and bottom of my lungs. I get it every year and I just got off the antib's we would normally use for it.

thank you. I was on iv cipro and iv flagyl and have been on and off since I first started having pain...would that take care of the infection? My doctor says because of that she's ruling out infection, but still hasn't done anything else. Gotta love military docs.

I had told dr I had been coughing up blood for several days and they asked if it was streaked and I said yes. I saw a description on a web page using the description of looking like a partially scrambled egg and that is what it really looked like, not really streaked but kind of mixed. Now I have been on 500 mg Cipro for 4 of 7 days prescribed but still am coughing up same type of blood mixture. Am I just not allowing the medicine to work long enough or should I be contacting my doctor?

I called the pharmacy and he said to take the cipro on an empty stomach. Wierd huh. And I am also taking pyridium, the stuff that turns ur pee orange. Jeam said dont take them both at the same time.

Hi I also have klebsiella pneumonia 4 plus. 2 weeks of cipro, came back a week later. Again 2 weeks of cipro came back again. How long should I stay on the antibiotic? I don't notice any relief until the 10th or11th day of the antibiotic. What do you think? Distention in stomach, burping, constipation gets horrible.

The drug is a class called fluoroquinalones, and the side effects may include anything from aches and pains for months to tendon rupture. If a fluoroquinalone is prescribed Cipro has far fewer side effects.

Since being off Levaquin for the past few months, I have had chronic bronchitis and pneumonia since. My muscles and body is in agony. I now have to use oxygen all the time, day and night. The recovery times from surgeries are greatly extended now. I'm having another back surgery in a few weeks.

History: mother who is diabetic, copd, hypothyroid, has stomach issues excess acid and gout, and had breast cancer a year ago with a few benign tumors removed from breast since. She has some congestion in chest, low grade fever for 20 days now of 98.8 to 99.9 and extreme fatigue. Fever comes at 2pm every single day, she takes tylonel and it goes away only to come back the next day!

Thanks for the input, Grace. Epididymitis is often caused by strains of chlamydia and gonorrhea, or by coliform bacteria in homosexual men. I posted here because I was curious if anyone knew about fluoroquinolone resistance in C. Trachomatis (levofloxacin vs. ciprofloxacin, bacteriostatic or bactericidal effects), or anything along those lines.

Hi, I can tell you that I had baterial vaginosis last year and only took cipro not the gel and everything was fine.. I've also took cipro for a uti..

s in the same class of antibiotics as Cipro)? I was on it for 5 days of my 10 when I started getting some wrist pain and they took me off it. I didn't even know it causes tendon damage. Just wondering if anyone else had those side effects??? I think my mom was on it (IV) but didn't have any side effects. All I can say is if they want to put you on it, ask for something else unless there is no choice! Thanks!

I am being treated for a urinary infections with both antibiotics (Cipro) and antivirals (valtrex) because the cause is unknown. My question is, is it safe to mix both medicines?

I HAD A PNEUMONIA A COUPLE OF MONTHS AGO, AFTER A TRIP TO MEXICO ( SWINE FLU?) AND HAVE HAD A ROUGH TIME GETTING ANY ENERGY BACK AT ALL. ONE OF THE ANTIBIOTICS THEY GAVE ME WAS CIPRO, WHICH I HAVE READ CAN INTERFERE WITH SYNTHROID ABSORPTION, MAYBE ALSO ARMOUR? THE REALLY SLOW HEART RATE WAS FIRST NOTICED DURING A FOLLOW UP FOR THE PNEUMONIA, ALTHO IT HAS NEVER BEEN FAST, AND DIDN'T SEEM TO INCREASE WHEN I EXERCISED.

I went to dr today and was diagnosed with Bronchitis and I am currently on a steroid and cipro antibiotic they gave me a breathing treatment and took xrays and said its not pneumonia my concern is I have had unexplained migraimes for 13 years now even spent time in headache treatment and thay could not identify them. I have now for about the last year been suffering with anxiety issues and hives continiously as well as pains in the joints of my fingers.

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.

Be careful with using Cipro and other antibiotics and use it only as directed by your Physician. I was misdiagnoised with a urinary tract infection that time showed it wasn't and was prescribed Cipro. This drug and others in its class have a nasty side effect - mine was labral tears of the right shoulder and right hip. My Mother suffers from sinus infections and she has found that her Chiropractor successfully treats her by draining her sinus.

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.

Im traveling in mexico and got pretty sick (my best guess is it was 'Travelers Diarrhea' or maybe food poisioning) I went to the pharmacy and got 500mg Cipro pills. I took one and got a horrible headache and vomitted alot. My symptoms seem to be gone however would it be a bad idea to stop taking the Cipro? I know people say you should always finish a course of antibiotics but in this case I dont know if I need them.

Thanks u guys!

I have taken cipro a lot too and it hasn't bothered me before. But I recently took it and after 1 dose my heart started acting weird. Any antibiotic of that class can cause heart palpitations. Unfortunately, most of the antibiotics I can take have that potential side effect, I'm allergic to penicillin.

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.
