| 3 | UTI | Hypoglycemia | It's a quinolone and if you are diabetic, it will affect your glucose levels despite what a pharmacist will tell you. Mine dropped to about 30 and when I looked it up on the internet it was clear that all quinolones can affect blood glucose. The stupid pharmacist and printout CVS gave me was useless. | F | 54 | 3 days | 8/7/2007 | 3 | Urinary tract infection | Severe anxiety, nervousness in stomach, panic attacks ....depressed, irritable! | I think its clearing u infection, kidneys and abdomen still sensitive. Was surprised at what bad write ups this drug has. | F | 26 | 3 days | 3/16/2007 | 3 | uti | watery eyes, extreme lethargy, moody | Seems like the side effects are worse the older you are. If I had 5 days to lay around in bed, I wouldn't have called the doctor! | F | 31 | 3 days | 9/10/2007 | 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 | 3 | UTI | Chills, Headache, Dizziness, Extreme joint and muscle aches/pain in shoulders, hands, hips to the point of not being able to extend arms to perform daily activities, to the point of not even wanting to move any part of my body. Ibuprofen and Tylenol with Codeine helped a little with the pain. | My pharmacist didn't see any correlation with my symptoms and Cipro, but after multiple recurrences of symptoms with taking cipro i notified my doctor who informed me that my symptoms were allergic/adverse reactions and i should stop taking it. I have had 4 UTI's the past year, and the 3rd & 4th times i had adverse reactions to Cipro. | F | 24 | 3 days | 2/25/2005 | 3 | recurrent sinusitis | DEBILITATING FATIGUE! Stomach pain, rib cage pain, muscle fatigue, extreme drowsiness, weight gain. I have been so fatigued, light headed and dizzy, it has frightened me! | side effects began about 4 days after beginning the prescription, will only take this again if I have no other options, since I sing professionally, I had to wipe out the sinus infection, but for nonsinger, the infection is better than the cure with cipro!!! | F | 41 | 10 days | 9/12/2004 | 3 | supposed septic bursitis of elbow | dizziness, heartburn that was awful, dark stools, feeling | I don't like it. | F | 40 | 9 days | 9/13/2004 | 3 | UTI | mild nausea; major itching (quite possibly unrelated) | Seems to be doing the job, but possibly more strength than I needed. I would bet that a less intense medication would have worked fine without as much risk. | F | 31 | 5 days | 4/6/2007 | 3 | possible UTI / Kidney infection | Mild side effects - and not sure if it's because of the Cipro or my possible kidney infection | Mild side effects - strange burning sensation on the backs of my legs - extreme fatigue - not sure if it's because of the Cipro or my possible kidney infection - but I lived! I'm almost done with the week's worth (2 X's a day) Good lord - those horror stories here are SCARY! | F | 32 | 5 days | 10/11/2008 | 3 | Food poisioning | Slight dizziness the first day, followed by abdominal cramping. The fifth day experienced swelling of the left calf muscle and severe aches and pains in the joints. | Was told by doctor this drugs side effects were not that serious, five days into it and the stomach pain went away, now have other problems starting to appear. | F | 38 | 5 days | 3/5/2007 | 3 | UTI | It is getting rid of the UTI, for sure, which Macrobid did not do, but I had absolutely NO SLEEP last night (first day on med), the one time toward 4 a.m. when I began to finally nod off, I had a horrible nightmare about a cobra snake cornering me in a room, it was hissing and its mouth was WIDE open | F | 51 | | 9/21/2006 | 3 | UTI | Took 3 day course , couldn't take last pill dur to nausea , dizziness, shaking,thought it did not relate to drug, finished 2 weeks ago , still dry mouth, metallic taste and very sore tongue!!! | cleared up uti, but when will these side effects go away?? | F | 39 | 3 days | 10/27/2006 | 3 | Diverticulitis-1st episode | Eye dryness and pain, seeing insect-like things crawling/flying where there are not any, neck pain and stiffness, numbness in feet, instability feeling in knee, irritability, dizziness, poor memory, nightmares, increased pigmentation on recent scars. Hope that is all... | I read up on this med before I started taking it. I asked the doc if there was an alternative. Apparently there are 2 others, flagyll and sulfa drugs that are pretty nasty too. Doc was unconcerned with my apprehension in taking this drug. So, being pretty ill and desperate, I went with the CIPRO and have had some side effects. I have 3 days more to go and hope that the side effects don't get worse and that they will subside when dose completed and I do a good internal cleansing. So far, this med has cleared up the infection, but I am not over it yet, so that is why I gave it a "3" rating. Good luck everyone who is taking this! | F | 46 | 7 days | 12/3/2005 | 3 | UTI | It is getting rid of the UTI, for sure, which Macrobid did not do, but I had absolutely NO SLEEP last night (first day on med), the one time toward 4 a.m. when I began to finally nod off, I had a horrible nightmare about a cobra snake cornering me in a room, it was hissing and its mouth was WIDE open | F | 51 | | 9/21/2006 | 3 | bacterial intestines | I only took one I'm concerned because I have tendinitis ITB band and knees? Should I call my DR. | F | 54 | 7 days 500 | 11/3/2012 | 3 | UTI | Floaters, blurred vision, headache, fatigue, muscle weakness | I have taken CIPRO in three day courses for the past 10 years (approx. 2-3 times per year) to treat UTIs. My UTI symptoms always improve within hours of taking the drug. Though I never made the correlation, I have had blurred and sometimes double vision for many years now, severe headaches, and muscle weakness and fatigue (I thought I might have MS for a while), and many eye floaters. My retinas are OK and my vision is 20/20, but the floaters have never resolved, and I still have a feelings of unexplained weakness (where I feel like I can't hold or grasp things or that my legs won't support me), headaches, and eye problems. I can't believe I took this drug approximately 20-25 times over the past 10 years. Most doctors have no clue how harmful it is. Take care of yourselves!! | F | 32 | 3 days 250mg 2X day | 9/10/2012 | 3 | UTI | really bad muscle weakness | the drug worked great in treating my UTI but i will not use again...i was so weak it was scary | F | 34 | 7 days 500 2X day | 3/16/2012 | 3 | Gastrio infection | Stomach pain, cramps, nausea, decreased appetite | F | 46 | 7 days 500 3X day | 2/8/2012 | 3 | UTI, possible infection in bowels | Lots of gas & some abdominal cramps, diarrhea, pain and feeling of pressure in the organs on the left side of the body, tingling arms, bad headache, trouble sleeping, lightheaded | I took Cipro as a teenager for a UTI and it worked fine then, no side effects. However, this time it gave me a range of side effects that made me think I still had the infection, even though multiple tests came out negative. I'm supposed to be on it for 7 days but I am stopping it today, the 5th day. I believe it did clear up the infection, but this drug is heavy duty and I think it should only be used in hospital for very serious infections. The side effects are just too numerous and severe. I hope these residual effects will go away on their own...please contact me if you have had the all the same symptoms I have described here (I am trying to rule out the infection's symptoms). | F | 31 | 7 days 500 1X day | 4/16/2011 | 3 | UTI | Muscle/tendon pain and tenderness under rib cage, (anterior and posterior) and right side (serratus muscle?) pain. Foot and heel pain, pain in hip. | I was prescribed CIPRO for a UTI while on vacation, it did clear up the UTI however right after completing my course of treatment I thought I had pulled a muscle in my serratus muscle lifting weights. But then I started noticing muscle and joint pains in other areas of my body. After 6 weeks I am still having problems, especially under my rib cage. My husband hugged me the other day and it hurts! Very tender. I will never take this medication ever again. I was fine until I took this stuff. Wish I had taken Septra instead, I've never had a problem with that drug. | F | 54 | 10 days 250 2X day | 10/11/2011 |
