| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CIPRO | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 5 | Bladder infection | Light headed, cotton mouth, thrush, weak legs, crazy dreams. | Although these side affects happened, my infection cleared up. | F | 36 | 7 days 500 MG | 6/25/2015 | 5 | Kidney Infection | The only side effect I noticed was a slight flushing in my face. | Have taken Cipro several times due to me being allergic to almost everything. Great med for me. I do take it easy though when on the medicine. No running or climbing just to be on the safe side. | F | 39 | 10 days 2X day | 3/12/2014 | 5 | For a bacterial pnuemonia shot reac | I am afraid of the runs and she put on it for a reaction to bacterial pneumonia shot and four days of prenizone do I have to take it for seven days four times s day | F | 68 | 7 days 500 mg | 2/2/2014 | 5 | UTI | Side effects were only what was to be expected with any antibiotic - slight diarrhea. I'm a hypochondriac who takes Zoloft and Klonopin for anxiety, I read the insert with the Cipro, I was terrified to take it, and...nothing happened except that it worked. I've taken Cipro in doses of 250 to 500 for 3 to 7 days, depending on the situation. This is the ONLY antibiotic I take for a UTI. Its great for a sinus infection too. I've probably taken it 6 or 7 times since 2009, even during 3 pregnancies, and my kids are perfectly healthy! Taking it again right now after a stubborn MD had me take Amoxicillin for 10 days - after I told her it wouldn't work. Lo and behold my UTI is back and much worse just 9 days later, so I finally get my Cipro RX. I'm so sorry to see such awful reactions and side effects from other people, but for me, a person VERY prone to "making up" side effects if I read them, and who Google's EVERYTHING, this drug is great! | F | 29 | 5 days 500mg | 9/16/2013 | 5 | UTI | None. I took it last june with none either. Works better than macrodantin; which I used previously. | I was shocked and scared when I read the other stories. Im usually very sensitive to medications but this one is great! | F | 50 | 5 days | 1/10/2010 | 5 | Bladder Infection | None | It helped so much- my infection was very severe. If I DID get any side effects, they were better than having pain and peeing blood. | F | 16 | 3 days | 1/7/2010 | 5 | Urinary tract infection | Drowsiness | Today is my 10th day of a ten day twice a day 500mg treatment for urinary tract infection. Cipro makes me drowsy but other than that there is no adverse affects. I took it a year ago for UTI with excellent results. | F | 24 | 10 days | 10/31/2009 | 5 | bacterial infection | No side effects that I would attibute to the Cipro. Thought I was getting foot and ankle pain. Turned out to be bad shoes. | To everyone complaining about the doctor not telling you about the effects, read the stuff that the pharmacy gives you; look on the internet; follow the instructions of what you should avoid while taking it. I see mention of people taking ibuprofen and such. The drug info clearly states to not take NSAIDs with it, or take with dairy, or have too much caffeine, etc. I get that side effects occur, but how many mentioned on this site are self-inflicted or caused by something other than the medicine? | F | 42 | 20 days | 10/31/2009 | 5 | staph infection after surgery | I have not had any side effects that I can attribute to the Cipro. Kind of painful to limit my caffeine and dairy so that I can do the proper dosing. Taking 500 2x a day. | I got a staph infection from outpatient surgery. The infection was cultured and showed susceptible to Cipro and Keflex. Took 7 days of Keflex and then 10 of Cipro. Infection was almost gone, but not quite and I am on another 10 days of Cipro. I think the stuff is great. Also took for a misdiagnosed UTI a few years ago and no side effects then either. I am MUCH more afraid of the staph than I am of this drug. I do understand that not everyone reacts to medications the same though. | F | 42 | 20 days | 10/21/2009 | 5 | UTI | I was just prescribed Cipro for the 4th time. Everytime it was for a UTI. I never had one side effect from this drug which is odd for me because I've had anxiety for years and anytime I take medicine the anxiety always makes me "think" i have every side effect listed. I honestly never had any from this drug. With my uti's I had severe burning and pressure and within an hour or two of taking the first pill that was all gone. I LOVE this medicine. I do remember reading though that if you drink caffeine while taking cipro it will increase the effects of the caffeine. Maybe that where part of the nervousness is coming from that some people are having. | F | 35 | 5 days | 11/11/2008 | 5 | UTI | The first few doses I would feel a little sleepy immediately after taking it. This subsided within a half hour and did not continue after the second day. | I read nothing but horror stories about this medication and was scared to death to take it. I had no problems with it whatsoever and it wiped out my UTI within two days. Septra before that couldn't cure the UTI. | F | 34 | 7 days | 4/13/2008 | 5 | UTI | None | I was scared to take this medication because I consulted this website before hand. Not only did I have absolutely zero side effects but I felt completely normal and my UTI is gone. I was on 1,000 mg per day. I do realize that everyone has different experiences but sometimes anxiety can make us feel things that are all in our minds. I've suffered from a panic disorder for over two years and I am prone to anxiety. This drug did not make me feel anxious at all. If you let yourself believe you will have side effects, sometimes it will manifest but it's not real. I'm sure there are some people who may be allergic but there are billions of people in the world and only a few of them felt compelled to come on here and complain about this drug. Think about how many have taken it and didn't bother to come on here. I felt it was my duty to report that this drug is ok. | F | 31 | 3 days | 4/29/2008 | 5 | UTI | No side effects that I noticed | It seems like cipro has been put in a bad light here, and just wanted to put my positive experience to let others know that it doesn't have negative effects on everyone. I have had UTIs since I was 4, so believe me I have tried just about every antibiotic out there. Penicillin gave me hives, Septra was the worst experience of my life (severe anxiety, urinating every 5 minutes, burning itching skin, felt like I was going to die), and Macrobid works but with some stomach pain. But I have never had any problems with the cipro. And it always clears up the infection for me. Occasionally I will take macrobid too so that I don't build a dependance to cipro, but I prefer the cipro any day. I have never taken it without food so not sure if it makes a difference on the stomach. But I always feel it's a good idea to take antobiotics with a meal. I get yeast infections after antibiotics though so this time I'm trying some acidolpholous pills during my treatment. | F | 23 | 7 days | 11/30/2008 | 5 | Bladder infection | No side effects at all, very well tolerated and worked quickly for me. | Found this to be a wonderful drug for me. Cleared up bladder infection quickly with no side effects. | F | 33 | 10 days | 1/19/2009 | 5 | parasite/intestinal infection | none | I took this medicine for the 5 day course, and my symptoms have completely improved. No side effects whatsoever. I went from having 3 weeks of uncontrollable diarrhea and abdominal pain, to being completely back to normal after the cipro. | F | 34 | 5 days | 1/18/2009 | 5 | Bladder Infection | MINOR nausea that went away (I found taking it on an empty stomach wasn't the best idea), MINOR dizziness the first day or two which cleared up, after coming on this site the 5th day I had MINOR "tingling" and some MINOR muscle pain but that may be have been psychosomatic since I'm prone to anxiety. | I've been off this pill for 48 hours and no further side effects. This pill did wonders for my bladder infection and there was an added bonus of clearing up some digestive issues I was having that I didn't relate to being a possible bacteria problem. My pharmacist gave me a huge hand out on the possible side effects so I was very nervous to take this drug but I just want to say to all the people who are starting this drug and are on this site and just as nervous as I was, do not worry and listen to your doctor. Don't think that taking this drug for a few days is going to "ruin your life". Its important to clear up the infection. you may get even sicker if you let the infection get worse..Just think if you asked a surviving cancer patient what his or her opinion of chemo is you'd probably get a response like "it was hell but I'm alive" and those side effects would be waaaaay worse then the potential side effects you are going to experience from this drug. Sometimes w | F | 29 | 7 days | 1/11/2009 | 5 | UTI | I tried macrobid and it caused me to throw up and have terrible chest pains. My doctor switched me to Cipro and I was so scared to take it after reading these comments. Other than mild tingling that went away quickly, I had no side effects and it cured my UTI within the first day of a five day dosage. | It does work. | F | 33 | 5 days | 1/2/2009 | 5 | MRSA | I am still taking this drug. I am guessing the drug is working well because my white blood counts are down. Unfortunately, it is coming at a great cost to the rest of my body. I feel like I have been hit by a mack truck! Body aches, stiff neck, sore muscles. I can barely get myself up out of a chair or bed. I am going to the Dr. Tuesday and see if there is another option. I am supposed to be on this till 1/24/2009. I don't see that happening. I am 48 and feel 98!! | F | 48 | 20 days | 1/4/2009 | 5 | Crohn's Disease | None! I took this medication for 5 years and it really helped put my Crohn's Disease in remission in combination with other meds. I really don't know what everyone is talking about. I guess it's maybe an allergic reaction. I had aches, fatigue, and all that before I took Cipro and am now back on 500 mg twice a day and am feeling so much better. | This drug can really help a lot of people. Don't let all these comments keep you from at least trying it. | F | 27 | 5 years | 1/29/2009 | 5 | Sinus Infection | Mild stomach upset | This medicine cleared up a sinus infection that would not clear up with z-pac. I felt better in two days with minimal side effects other than a mildly upset stomach. | F | 42 | 10 days | 1/25/2009 |
