| 4 | | 8/8/2006 | 4 | uti | A headache that has not gone away. i wondered if it was the uti but it seems to be a common side effect. Muscle weakness; but again that can be attributed to the infection. Overall, i'm feeling a heck of a lot better than i was 1 week ago. | Apparently have had a uti for about a month. Annueal exam first showed and i was give Macrobid. took that and figured all was fine. No symtpoms other than extreme fatigue. went back to doc, had a really bad uti. cipro has helped. | F | 5 days | 4/21/2008 | 3 | prostatitis | I took the 1000mg extended release tablet once a day in Feb. 2008 for 10 days. After reading this site I was almost afraid to take cipro. The only side effect I had started on day seven when I got the stomach upset and gastro problems common to most of these broad spectrum antibiotics that knock out the digestive bacteria in your guts as well as the targeted bacterium. Symptoms went away two days after I finished the ten day course of treatment. | Unfortunately, it did not stop my prostate pain, but my doctor suggested that it was just a shot in the dark and often antibiotics are not the solution for prostate pain and he has scheduled further testing. | M | 10 days | 2/29/2008 | 3 | prostatitis | | 4/8/2009 | 3 | | 1/28/2005 | 2 | M | 3 days | 5/17/2004 | 2 | uti infection | 1 days | 5/8/2015 | 1 | Another Cipro victim recently decided to end their own life rather than continue living with the nightmarish and never-ending side effects of this nasty antibiotic. You know a drug is bad when death is preferable to its side effects! Get this &$%# off the market NOW! How many more kids are going to have to grow up without a mother or father because of corporate greed and corruption? | The folks at Bayer must be brought to justice. Of course that will never happen through legal channels, as they (the drug industry) have bought off the FDA. We are not being protected, and if we want justice it seems we must get it ourselves. | 1X day | 6/24/2015 | 1 | To the 23yo female who posted on 7/6/15: You are obviously quite ignorant about Cipro and its (abysmal) safety profile. A bullet has a half-life of what, a fraction of a second as it passes through your body? But we all know how deadly and destructive bullets can be. Keep on taking your Cipro like a good consumer and we'll see who's a "complainer" once she's permanently unable to walk. It's one thing to knowingly endanger your own health, it's quite another to encourage others to do the same with theirs. You have a lot of learning yet to do! | 1X day | 7/10/2015 | 1 | "Stay off the internet sites that talk about side effects" --Yes, stay COMPLETELY ignorant and in the dark about a class of antibiotics that could potentially destroy your life! Genius. | PS. Many of Cipro's side effects often don't surface for weeks or months after you've already stopped taking it, so don't be so quick to count your chickens before they hatch. | M | 1X day | 8/5/2015 | 1 | uti | I took 1 pill and went to sleep. I woke up 1hour later with a Headache that wouldn't go away even when I took advil. I never took another pill but now three days I have a servers lower back pain.WHAT'S NEXT!! Anybody that's Ready to start a class law suit call me let's make them pay for giving us poison. 3055088381 Samara. | Let's get this drug banned!! | F | 1 days 500 | 9/26/2015 | 1 | Urinary Tract Infection | Both shoulder tendons ruptured. Each repaired surgically, then each ruptured again. Just last month, my hamstring completely detached -- an injury typically seen in bull riders and water skiers. I was leaning into my car to retrieve my wallet on the far seat. | I have taken Cipro nine times over the past ten years. No one ever warned me about this. I'd blamed all these injuries on Lyme disease, which I contracted over 20 years ago. I always wondered why no other Lyme victims complained about tendon ruptures (I am a Lyme disease patient advocate and support-group facilitator). After four solid years on antibiotics (almost two years on IV antibiotic), I was basically cured from the Lyme, but over the years, I've suffered five ruptures now. DO NOT EVER TAKE THIS DRUG. IT SHOULD BE BANNED. | F | various 1X day | 10/25/2015 | 1 | UTI | WORST NIGHTMARE OF MY LIFE WHEN I TOOK THIS DRUG (CIPRO) 10 YEARS AGO & THE FDA IS FINALLY (11/5/15) SAYING THIS DRUG SHOULD HAVE STRONGER WARNING LABELS FOR SIDE EFFECTS!! TAKE IT OFF THE MARKET! Still have some muscle problems 10 years after taking drugs! Had problems with almost every organ in my body due to CIPRO. Was perfectly healthy before taking this POISON!!! | From Wall St. Jrl. 11/5/15: FDA Panel Seeks Tougher Antibiotic Labels Mounting evidence of previously unknown, and sometimes permanent, side effects prompted review. By Thomas M. Burton – Wall St. Jrl. SILVER SPRING, Md.—A Food and Drug Administration advisory panel overwhelmingly called for heightened label warnings on widely prescribed antibiotics called fluoroquinolones because of unusual but sometimes devastating side effects. The action followed a day of emotional testimony from dozens of patients who said these drugs have had a wide range of harmful effects on their health and cognitive ability. The agency decided earlier this year to have its advisory committee examine the class of antibiotics because of mounting evidence of previously unknown, and sometimes permanent, side effects.".... As early as April 17, 2013, the FDA’s Office of Surveillance and Epidemiology, which evaluates drug safety, concluded: “We continue to find an association between fluoroquinolone antibiotic use and disabling peripheral neuropathy.” | 2 days 250 2X day | 11/7/2015 | 1 | Now that the FDA has FINALLY acknowledged that fluoroquinolone-associated disability exists (30 years later!), I think it's time we victims band together and get compensated for our damages, our pain & suffering, our lost income and the lost years of our lives. Why should U.S. tax payers be on the line for our SSDI benefits when it was Big Pharma that caused all of this? The public should be outraged. | I don't know about you, but I cannot live on SSDI alone. Not when I have to pay someone to do the most menial tasks for me now like grocery shopping, yard work, taking out the trash, etc. Why should I be relegated to a life of poverty and financial ruin because a multi-billion dollar corporation (as well as the FDA) withheld safety information from me? Bayer owes me and countless others MILLIONS, and it's about damn time they pay up. | M | 1X day | 11/12/2015 | 1 | Cipro: Kills the infection by killing the patient | 1X day | 11/16/2015 | 1 | The reviewer from 12/30/2015 is almost certainly a big pharma rep. Either that or just very, very naive. Just because he's willing to play Russian roulette with his life doesn't mean you have to play it with yours. Cipro--and every other fluoroquinolone antibiotic still on the market--is capable of causing savage harm. Hello, every drug in this class now carries MULTIPLE black box warnings. Yea--real safe! And fewer side effects than older antibiotics? The FDA warning label for Cipro is 43 pages long!! | You have been warned. | 1X day | 1/1/2016 | 1 | UTI | After taking 1 pill 10 mins later breathing difficulties. Chills, tremors and severe nausea...very unwell for about 2hours | F | 1 days 500MG 2X day | 1/21/2016 | 1 | prostate infection | I take back what I said earlier about the low incidence of side effects, I did some research and it seems these antibiotics are toxic | M | 1 days 500 | 1/28/2016 | 1 | UTI | 5 rating? cipro is a synthetic chemo pill! ***CIPRO RUINED MY MOTHERS LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!along with thousands of others. she is now a cripple! look it up its called being floxed. its the goverments legal way of killing people! | F | 1X day | 2/5/2015 | 1 | Post TURP operation Prostatitis | The treatment restarted my anxiety and panic attacks but this time with palpitations. As the treatment duration increased I experienced insomnia at night and felt increasingly ill in the morning after taking the dosage. The doctor noted a 10% or more increase in blood pressure. By the end of the course I was physically and mentally exhausted. | I had a painful calf muscle tear shortly after finishing the medication. It may have been playing a few minutes of football the day earlier or muscle weakness caused by the drug. My prostatitis and urinary infection were cured. After a few weeks without the drug I am steadily recovering. | M | 28 days 500 2X day | 6/10/2015 |
