| 5 | UTI | Sleepyness, Mood Changes, Dehydration | Makes me more sleepy than usual, Crying for every sappy thing, Have to make sure to drink enough fluids with all antibiotics (not just Cipro). This medication has not caused me any other problems. Everyone, PLEASE read the entire medication description. It will alert you to possible side effects, drug interactions, etc. Some of the problems you all are having could be avoided by simply educating yourselves about the medication you are taking. This medication will increase the effects of caffeine!!! | F | 29 | 10 days | 2/18/2009 | 5 | UTI | None | I was surprised to see so many negative reactions listed on this page. I just thought I'd add that Cipro cleared up my symptoms within days and I experienced no side effects. | F | 31 | 10 days | 6/17/2008 | 5 | UTI | None whatsoever. | As I am allergic to ampicillin, cephalosporin, erythromycin and sulfa, I am extremely thankful that there is something I can take for my once-or-twice-a-year UTIs. And it works. | F | 52 | 10 days | 6/30/2008 | 5 | stomach upset, urinary tract inf. | I was prescribed Cipro before a 3 month trip abroad as a medicine that could cure me even if I was stuck in the middle of the jungle or on a mountaintop. Yep. I had to take it 3 times in 3 months, which is not a good plan. Each time I got bad stomach illnesses, waited a week to see improvement, nothing happened, I took it. Same thing with a UTI I tried to cure home remedy style. It cured the above problems in 24 hours or less practically with the first pill. Cipro will eventually become a weaker drug as more bacteria becomes resistant. Try to avoid taking as much as I did (I may ask for a more common antibiotic for my next trip for regular, run of the mill infections) But right now, if you are really ill, Cipro is the drug to get those bad bugs out of you immediately. | F | 21 | 10 days | 9/12/2008 | 5 | kidney infection in child | If you really need this medicine, it does work, and everyone doesn't have the terrible reaction that a lot of the other postings have had. My daughter did have diarrhea after day 4, but with probiotics daily it was managable. Otherwise, it worked well. | My daughter had to take Cipro as a last attempt to get rid of her kidney infection before hospitalizing her. She was so sick, she could have died from the infection, pseudomonas. Cipro saved her life, and saved her from the hospital experience which at best would have been upsetting and at worst could have been... well...we all know about hospitals... | F | 8 | 10 days | 4/8/2009 | 5 | UTI | the only thing i experienced was my UTI going away! | I've taken cipro and levaquin for throat infections and they've always worked. recently, i had a terrible UTI. cipro knocks out bacteria fast. if you take it for more than 10 days, you feel kind of weak, during one infection, the cipro really made me sick to my stomach and i lost my appetite. but, that's a small price to pay for a life-saving antibiotic. i am prone to yeast infections, so that's generally a given for me. but, cipro really has just been given a bad name, and it's an excellent, fast-working drug. | F | 23 | 10 days | 5/22/2009 | 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 | 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 | 5 | UTI | Do not let the negative comments freak you out like they did to me. I did my research and discovered that the "common" side effects listed for this drug are very rare: Nausea- occured in 5.2% of people tested, Diarrhea- 2.3%, vomiting- 2%, abdominal pain/discomfort- 1.7%, headache- 1.2%, restlessness- 1.1%, and rash- 1.1% After reading the comments on here I got freaked out and refused to take it. After my dotcor told me I was being ridiculous, I took it and was fine, no side effects. It does it's job and it is very rare that you will have any of the negative effects discussed here actually happen to you. | F | 25 | 10 days | 10/22/2007 | 5 | Diverticulitis | Aside from being a bit tired, there were none. Not sure why all the others are making this out to be a bad drug; it is an excellent antibiotic. All drugs have side-effects - and this is no different. Once you stop taking it, they go away; no big deal. Take your meds like you should and you will be fine. | Excellent drug with minimal side effects. | M | 44 | 10 days | 7/22/2009 | 5 | kidney infection | sudden knee pain in the middle of the night, loss of appetite, some upset stomach and nausea, pain in achilles tendon (very difficult to walk on), occasional light-headedness, headache, general fatigue/aches | the very first side effect i noticed was the severe knee pain in the middle of the night, which was a few hours after taking the third pill. i am on 500mg, twice daily. the next morning i had pain in my right achilles tendon and it hurts whenever i apply any weight on it. cipro greatly eased my kidney pain after the first dose, and cleared my infection quickly. | F | 24 | 10 days | 10/19/2009 | 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 | 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 | Epididimytis | Anxiety, throat and neck pain, swollen nodes, insomnia. | Neck and throat pain were quite painful. Anxiety came on afternsecond pill. Drinking a lot of water made the pain and anxiety go away. | M | 39 | 10 days 500 | 7/4/2015 | 5 | Lung Infection | I get serious hives taking any antibiotic but with Cipro I didn't get any and little side effects. | F | 54 | 10 days 500 2X day | 1/24/2016 | 5 | UTI | Zero (none, zilch) | It solved my UTI problem after several days. After taking only one or two pills, I looked at this site and nearly freaked out. But some of the very few giving a "5" rating pointed out that millions take this drug every year with no problem. Apparently, if a small minority has terrible side effects, that minority are much more likely to report their experiences. Conclusion: If this drug starts causing you problems, quit taking it immediately!!! | M | 59 | 10 days 500 2X day | 1/26/2015 | 5 | UTI | Softer stools, slight weakness | The ONLY drug I can take that will clear up my UTI. | F | 43 | 10 days 500MG | 3/14/2015 | 5 | Kidney Infection | Slightly itchy | I am allergic to most meds given for kidney infections, but this has been a life saver. Feel so much better | F | 33 | 10 days | 7/10/2017 | 5 | diarrhea | A lot of gas.Some trouble sleeping.in the first few days Did not feel 100% most of the time | I became infected during a trip to a South American country. On return I waited two weeks hoping that it would clear up on its own. (The usual "Monetzuma's Revenge" lasts about four days, so this was something more) The Ciprofloxacin did work over about 7 - 8 days. The cure was not immediate. I am tempted to give it a '4' due to the side effects, but I give a '5' because it did work. It's good that we have treatments like this | M | 79 | 10 days 500 2X day | 4/15/2017 | 5 | UTI | Tiredness, affected by caffeine | I was prescribed cipro after a month of painful UTIs, and it started working immediately. The only side effects I had were tiredness and a sensitivity to caffeine. I would take this medicine again- I felt better right away. | F | 25 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 10/15/2011 |
