| 4 | sinus infection | None | F | 60 | | 1/28/2001 | 1 | Post surgical anti-biotic | Mental hallucinations. Uneasy feeling. Physical balance offset. After telling the Doc of these reactions, he discounted them as if to claim it was "just me". Oh contraire, I talked to a pharmacist who brought me the PDR insert which paralleled all my side effects. | I would not recommend anyone to take this drug. I've encountered others who have had various negative experiences. This is the first drug, in my history, I upfront say I'm allergic to! | F | 50 | | 10/17/2001 | 1 | urinary infection | joint pain and achiness. The cure is worse than the disease! Be careful about taking this medication. | F | 64 | 2 days | 10/28/2001 | 1 | Kidney infection | Took Cipro for two weeks in 1992(one week i.v./one week by pill). Now I experience Myoclonic seizures (jerky spasms) unless I take phenobarbitol once a day. | F | 32 | 2 weeks | 10/30/2001 | 4 | Typhoid infection | nothing Serious. A little tired. I took 500mg twice a day for 10 days | I don't think it is so bad | F | 29 | 10 days | 11/2/2001 | 2 | Prostatitis | Increasing problems with muscle & nerve twitching; painful joints; nevousness etc. | Scary experience, took some time to figure out what caused the simptoms | M | 41 | 4 months | 11/15/2001 | 1 | urininary tract infection | severe bilateral tendinitis; Residual muscle pain and weakness--is the latter a side effect? | F | 6 weeks | 1/1/2002 | 2 | prostatitis | aching muscular pain in lower back, groin, and thighs (tendinitis) | doctor confirmed that CIPRO can cause this kind of side effect | M | 45 | 10 days | 1/10/2002 | 1 | Gastro Infections | Nausea, extremely tired, confussion of thoughts, worsened diarrhea, joint aches and mucsle pains, upper back-- rib cage pain. | This medicine was given to me by the doc to treat gastro problems that had occured for 7 days. I was in bed or on the couch for a month barely able to get up to go to the bathroom, dehydrated and in a lot of joint and muscel pain. I developed a CMV Gastroenteritis infection and an inability to produce the enzymns needed to break down milk/dairy products. NEVER take this medicine-- it is worse then whatever your illness! | F | 30 | 7 days | 1/11/2002 | 5 | urinary track infection | None. The UTI was so severe that anything was an improvement, however. | After being treated for a week with another antibiotic, the UTI worsened to include high fever, chills, muscle aches. After one day on Cipro (during a full week's course) I felt improvement. Don't know if this is typical, but it worked for me and I would use it again -- albeit not for long durations. | F | 39 | 7 days | 1/22/2002 | 1 | DIVITICULITIS/URINARY TRACT INFECTI | iT was pr;escribed for my mother-in-law by a doctor who would not even test her urine or her blood or for an impaction. She is now in a step down from critical care---every thing about her failed--we still dont know if she will live. Her allegies to this drug were well documented in her chart. | the symptoms started the second day--the doctor completely ignored the symptoms. It happened that Mother had an impaction and a fleets enema would have cured her. | F | 86 | 5 days | 1/29/2002 | 1 | Chest Infection | Swollen Tongue and Lips and joint pain - stopped after taking one tablet | Beware - read all the information on the leaflet enclosed. | F | 37 | 1 days | 7/13/2002 | 3 | Bladder Infection | Weakness, nausea. | I've had bladder infections before and can start to feel better after 1-2 days. I've been on this medicine for five days and feel only a little relief. I'm taking two 500mg tablets a day. I only have two tablets left and the infection is still here. I wish the doctor would have given me something better. On top of that this medicine is expensive $70 for 10 pills. I wouldn't mind paying the high price for something that worked. | F | 39 | 5 days | 9/24/2002 | 1 | Urethritis | Severe joint pains and muscle aches; burning sensations in forearms and joints; weakness in arms; pressure and pain in ears; brain fog; feelings of anxiety; insomnia; lack of energy and fatigue. | After over one year the joint pains, burning sensations and pressure in ears all contiune. It has been a year of hell. This drug is poision. If prescribed this drug insist on a safer alternative. | M | 7 days | 9/24/2002 | 2 | cellulitus | This antibiotic did not stop the activity of the infection. The cellulitus continued to spread resulting in a emergency hospital visit where an different antibiotic was administered thru an IV. | This medication's side effect was a severe headache. | M | 57 | 3 days | 1/7/2003 | 5 | food poisining | slight dizziness,some restlessness | M | 21 | 10 days | 11/5/2003 | 1 | bladder infection | Did not work!!!My body did not respond to this antibiotic | F | 31 | 10 days | 1/9/2004 | 1 | Sinus Infection | nausea, vomiting, severe joint pain | It was the worst experience of my life. I had to go to the ER to get medicine for the pain in my joints. | F | 32 | 4 days | 3/30/2004 | 1 | Food Poison | My father (94) was prescribed CIPLOX in India. Within two days, he developed symptoms like heart attack. The doctors there could not identify this as a reaction. Instead, they put him on several heart medications. When this caused his prostate problems to worsen, they prescribed a tube and Levoday (another quinolone family). Within a week, he died due to Kidney failure. | Doctors in India have no clue about the potency of the drugs, their reactions, proper doses, etc. | M | 94 | 3 days | 4/12/2004 | 1 | urinary tract infection | Severe joint and muscle pains especially in lower back and thigh which began two weeks after treatment and have lasted more than two weeks after. Hurts to walk, to sit , stand, move. Also in knees and neck. Urinary tract infection appears to have cleared though. | I would seek a safer alternative if I had known this could happen. Read that it destroys cartilege in weigh bearing joints. | M | 60 | 5 days | 4/13/2004 |
