| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CIPRO | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | 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 | unconfirmed prostatitis | none | This was a follow-on from an unsuccessful 5-day trimethoprim course. I felt ~80% better after 1 day on cipro, and over the rest of the course began to feel better than I had for a long time. Various joint aches/pains actually disappeared! After finishing the course I had some bloating/abdominal tenderness, but probably usual for post antibiotics. | M | 49 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 10/13/2010 | 5 | sepsis from kidney infection | Same thing as I usually get from any heavy duty antibiotic: loose stool, but I almost always eat plain live culture yogurt and that takes care of it. I just had none in the house this time. | I am a frequent flier kidney infection, and sometimes if the doctor doesn't catch it in time, it goes to my bloodstream. I have been on the brink of septic shock twice in the last three years, and Cipro is almost always prescribed as a follow-up to IV antibiotics, either that or Levaquin. I know some people have bad reactions to it but it works extremely well for me. | F | 52 | 10 days 500 MG 2X day | 7/10/2010 | 5 | UTI/Kidney Infection | I was having horrible pains in my kidneys and could hardly breathe or walk due to it. The Cipro helped with the infection pretty quickly and I could actually relax and breath normal and walk. The Cipro gives me a motion sickness/nauseous feeling a few hours after I take it in the morning. I feel slightly woozy and hazey, but other than that I have no joint pain. I chalk my side effects up to the common side effects it said I would have. I took care of my problem very well and I have been feeling much better. I look forward to when I'm done taking the antibiotic so that the woozy/hazey feeling goes away, but it's nothing that completely disrupts my day. | F | 22 | 10 days 500 MG 2X day | 3/24/2011 | 5 | UTI | I have been taking Cipro for 8 days of a 10 day prescription. I have experienced mild anxiety and mild depression. I have no trouble going to sleep at bedtime, but wake up every night and have difficulty going back to sleep. When sleeping having very vivid, bizarre nightmares. I am also having mild headaches, but I intend to finish the remaining two days of treatment. | F | 50 | 10 days 250MG 2X day | 3/21/2011 | 5 | UTI | No side effects at all. | I can take this, but not levaquin. | F | 35 | 10 days 2X day | 11/1/2010 | 5 | severe sinus infection | Dry mouth/throat. Tightening of stomach, abnormal dreams. And slight feeling of mental change/ euphoric. | M | 23 | 10 days 500mg 2X day | 9/22/2011 | 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 | 5 | pouchitis | hard to tell. general tiredness. but when i have a pouchitis attack i'm immediately exhausted whether i take cipro or not. and as far as nauseau, headaches, etc. that's what i have with my pouchitis before i ever start taking cipro. generally, i will see major improvement after taking two cipro doses and then things will continue to improve with no noticeable side effects. | i have never used anything but cipro for pouchitis, so i don't know if something else might work better. but the pouchitis is immediately so awful and debilitating that i don't know what i would do without cipro | M | 41 | 10 days | 12/11/2006 |
