Avatar m tn 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.

This skin rash is slightly itchy in small patches over shoulders, trunk, arms and are small patches.

Avatar n tn Hey, I'd like to hear your story with Cipro diarrhea (or what were the symptoms). Time course and especially the probiotic part. On which day of antibiotic diarrhea started?
Avatar n tn Lately i have been having digestive problems, i have had diarrhea, and just loose stool, also i have had leg cramps that wake me up in the middle of the night for the past 3 nights straight, i'm always tired and often have fatigue, a lot of times i have nausea too. I get stomach cramps too and i'm underweight by a lot but i can eat almost 2500 calories a day and a healthy diet and not gain weight. i have gone to 2 doctors but none of them seem to know whats wrong.
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 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 Two classes of antibiotics that should never be taken with yogurt are the tetracyclines and the quinalones (Cipro being such an example). (Ref: Drugs, 1976 11(1):44-45). The bio-availability of these medications is significantly destroyed. (Clin. Pharmacol. Ther. Nov50: 498-502). The Journal of Infectious diseases (Jan 2011) recommends Cipro as an alternative to intravenous medications (Vancomyacin) for treatment of osteomyelitis.

Ciprofloxacin, a quinolone antibacterial, is used to treat several types of bacteria resistant to other commonly used antibiotics. It is especially useful for some types of chest infections, and skin, intestinal , and urinary tract infections. Possible Adverse Effects Ciprofloxacin commonly causes nausea and vomiting; other side effects are less common, except when high doses are given.
