15 years ago I had a bad case of prostate infection. It was so tight I could not pee at all. Ended up in ER. They put in catheter to empty my super extended bladder. I was sent home with catheter line tied to my lower leg going into plastic bag. They prescribed CIPRO for for 10 days. I did not bother reading paperwork that came with it. I trusted my urologist. My infection got better but I did have weird side effects. Page forward to 2023. I felt I had UTI. Urologist took the urine sample and said that I did have infection. He also put me on CIPRO. Went to my pharmacy to get it and the only thing pharmacist tole me was to stay away from direct sunlight. I read 8 pages of paperwork that was included listing all the possible side effects. t read like a horror story of the worst kind...8 pages !!! One of the ingredients is Polyethylene Glycol commonly found in antifreeze (coolant for your car) which is deadly if ingested by people or animals. If this is the best science can do, I'll go to a witch doctor. Why was this drug authorized?

Trust me, I avoid taking it as much as possible. Lately, I've been toughing it out and not taking anything. Statistically, some cases of UTI can actually go away by themselves. I just try to flush my system out with tons of fluids and ramp up my vitamin C intake. I've had symptoms of UTI twice already recently and instead of running to the doctor, I just did that and recovered surprisingly.@@martinjason8466

Thanks, doc. Good info. I started this medication 2 weeks ago for a duration of 3 weeks due to an infection, which seems to me to be mild. My doctor found an elevation in my PSA number. I have felt a little nausea in my morning dose. I don't eat in the morning but wasn't advised otherwise by the urologist. Also, I do have a physical job and have felt some pain on the inside of my forearm to my elbow. I did have therapy for epicondylitis a year ago. Maybe the cipro brought that back.

Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic medication that can have side effects, just like any other medication. Some common side effects of ciprofloxacin include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, and abdominal pain. More serious side effects can occur, such as allergic reactions, seizures, tendon damage, and nerve damage. It is important to speak with a healthcare provider if you are experiencing any side effects or have concerns about taking ciprofloxacin.

I don't know if this is the right forum to ask this question, but I have possible prostatitis and I was prescribed Cipro a couple of days ago and myself symptoms seemed to markedly improve. But today I seemed to have relapsed. If I take precautions to prevent further flare-ups and continue taking the drug as prescribed will my symptoms improve again?
@HealthRX
@HealthRX Жыл бұрын
Sorry to hear about your condition. As you can imagine, I cannot say much, not knowing the details. I would however encourage you to take the Cipro as prescribed. This will prevent a scenario where you develop chronic prostatitis. The idea is that, once the infection is taken care off, the flare ups will also resolve. It is possible that the “job” is not yet done, hence the flare ups. With that said, it will be a good idea to let the doctor know of the flare ups. Unfortunately some acute cases of prostatitis may require some IV antibiotics. Also, if there is any pain the doctor can advise on pain relievers that are appropriate for you. Wish you all the best.

The pills were prescribed for my 90year old grandmother to treat UTI . Upon realising they were antibiotics, i read the side effects and was horrified! I stopped giving her the pills after she took only two pills. Two days later i took her for urine test the results came negative of UTI. I told the doctor about my concern of the medicine but he insisted i continue giving her the pills . No way am i giving her those pills!

I took Cipro in 2012. 5 tablets and I was in liver failure. Developed 75% of the ADRs listed on the Bayer literature. Now, 2024, I still have permanent ADRs. The greatest problem I see with Fluoroquinolones is their tendency to cause permanent change in the mitochondria of collagen 1a1. This class of antibiotics has ruined my life.

I'd think twice before taking floroquinolones. Why are you taking Cipro again? I think my doctor put me on it year's ago for suspected GI pathogens and I didn't know what I know now. Having known what I know now I would have asked for another antibiotic since it was for something suspected (but wasn't even the problem). I'm not trying to cast shade on doctors but OMG there's some out there not even fit to... well.. I'd rather not talk about doctors watering my oxen.
