More on CIPRO: Reviews Summary | Drug Safety Information
| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CIPRO | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | infection | Permanent loss of about 10% of my hearing. I was hearing impaired before Cipro and afterwards I was at the door of deafness. | This drug ought to be labled "ototoxic" -- bad for the hearing impaired, and last time I checked it still was getting a pass from the FDA. | F | 63 | 7 days | 3/10/2006 | 1 | anti biotic chest infection | Chronic muscle and joint pain three days after initial dose. Now 4 weeks without relief. Medical tests reveal nothing. | The coincidence between the onset of my problem and the symptoms described here are hard to ignore. I hope for relief in the near future. | M | 55 | 7 days | 7/5/2007 | 1 | epidytimitis | I've been experiencing thin/flat stools and awful stomach pains. It's been 9 months since I took cipro...do not take cipro ever! | M | 20 | 7 days | 11/16/2006 | 1 | kidney infection | diarrhea within first day of starting medicine. Was so bad that you couldn't tell the difference between urine and feces. The worst is that my upper abdomen has been distended since taking the drug in dec '05 and I still experience terrible belching on a daily basis. Suspect gastroparesis, but will have to be tested. Never had either issue prior to taking Cipro. I'm convinced that Cipro caused this. The symptoms are directly related. | F | 41 | 7 days | 5/26/2006 | 1 | stomach bacterial infection | Serious breathing difficulty, arms and legs going numb, joint pain, rash, AWFUL depression and nervousness. I would rather die than take another Cipro pill ever again. | Why do doctors push this medicine?! Mine acted as if Cipro is the only drug on earth and I shouldn't question it. It's crazy. | F | 35 | 7 days | 4/15/2006 | 1 | UTI | AFTER COMPLETING 7 DAY COURSE OF CIPRO, BEGAN HAVING SEVERE PAIN IN LEFT HIP AND UPPER THIGH AREA. I ALSO NOW HAVE NO FLEXABILITY OF HIP JOINT DUE TO SHARP PAIN IN GROIN AREA UPON MOVEMENT. | WILL NEVER TAKE CIPRO AGAIN. MY HUSBAND WAS RECENTLY TAKING CIPRO FOR PROSTATITIS AND HAS BEEN HAVING SEVERE, AGONIZING PAIN IN HIS RIGHT GROIN AND THIGH AND HAS GROSS SWELLING IN HIS THIGH MUSCLE FROM THE GROIN TO THE KNEE. THANKS TO THIS WEB SITE, WE NOW REALIZE THE CONNECTION TO THE CIPRO FOR BOTH OF US AND NO ONE IN OUR FAMILY WILL EVER TAKE THIS MEDICATION AGAIN. ONCE AGAIN OUR GOVERNMENT HAS ALLOWED US TO BE POISONED BY THE DRUG COMPANIES. | F | 44 | 7 days | 2/12/2006 | 1 | prostatitis | AFTER 2ND DAY OF TAKING CIPRO BEGAN HAVING SEVERE PAIN IN LEFT THIGH FROM GROIN TO KNEE. MUSCLE BEGAN SWELLING AND I COULD NOT HARDLY WALK. I DID NOT ASSOCIATE THIS WITH THE CIPRO UNTIL MY WIFE LOOKED UP SIDE EFFECTS OF CIPRO ON THE INTERNET. | CIPRO HAS CAUSED ME SEVERE PAIN AND I HAVE NEVER HAD A REACTION TO ANY DRUGS BEFORE. I WISH I HAD NEVER TAKEN EVEN 1 OF THESE PILLS. HOW CAN THEY GIVE US THIS MEDICATION AND NOT EVEN TELL US THAT IT COULD RUIN OUR LIVES. "DON'T TAKE CIPRO" | M | 58 | 7 days | 2/12/2006 | 1 | UTI | Extreme abdominal pain, severe pain in joints and muscles. Worst side effect was left arm numbness and tingling that went away. | I had never taken Cipro before. I started taking for a UTI and the side effects started near the end of the course. Went to the doctor for the abdominal pain and left arm numbness. The doctor sent me to the ER to be tested for heart attack, blood clot, stroke, etc. Nothing came up. My wife said the Walgreens leaflet that came with the Cipro mentioned these rare serious side effects, but the doctors all laughed it off and said they prescribe this poison 2-3 times each day and have never heard of that happening. I would not recommend this to anyone. The worst part is the doctors not realizing what this medicine is capable of doing to people in apparently not so "rare" cases. After three weeks of joint/muscle pain, the pain is virtually gone, thank God. I believe it was helped my me taking magnesium, which supposedly renders the drug up to 90% ineffective when taken at the same time. When I found that out (after the fact) I started taking my regular multivitamin and | M | 36 | 7 days | 8/7/2007 | 1 | UTI | very sick, flu like symptoms. my entire body is sore. Cant sleep | i will never take this medication again. and i will be sure to let everyone i know not to take it either | F | 22 | 7 days | 11/2/2008 | 1 | Kidney infection | Severe joint/muscle pain. | I finally went to the doctor yesterday, two weeks after experiencing severe pain. He advised me that it was likely due to the Cipro as it was commonly known to cause tendinitis. Hopefully it will get better soon because I really miss my workouts. | F | 42 | 7 days | 9/12/2007 | 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 | 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 | 1 | UTI | I have only been taking this for 3 days and I feel worse than before I took the medicine. I normally have a little joint knee pain because of my weight but nothing that doesn't clear up in a day or two. Since taking cipro I feel sleepy, tired, dizzy, bloated with a lot of gas, headaches, and my joint knee pain has increased 5x. I now have to make an appointment with a orthopedic surgeon to have a MRI done on my knee. I thought it was just me, but after reading the reviews I do not recommend this medication. I have stopped taking it and will never take this again. | F | 29 | 7 days 500 2X day | 12/18/2012 | 1 | UTI | Went from healthy & active 31 year old to feeling 80 over the course of 2 days. Joints pop and ache. Pads on feet getting thinner and knees giving me problems. Plus insomnia, random sharp paints and mental fogginess to boot. | Like another girl who posted on here, I would get UTI's 1 or 2 times a year (discovered D-Mannose is a wonderful way to keep these at bay naturally) and Cipro was also my dependable go to. Had taken it quite a few times over the years with no effect. Now I could kick myself. Last few days since I finished my course I can hardly walk a block or two when I used to go running through the woods every morning. And from what I've read this is only the start! I had no idea that taking this stuff is akin to chemotherapy in what it does to your DNA! Unbelievable. Taking every supplement I can get my hands on and praying I'm not incapacitated for a year or more. One thing that has helped loosen my stiffness instantly - EPSOM SALT baths. Get some. | F | 31 | 7 days 250MG 2X day | 2/20/2013 | 1 | Suspected prostate infection | Partial achilles rupture, dry skin, circulation problems, nerve damage in both arms and legs, insomonia, depersonalization | This was six months ago and I am still totally screwed up from this drug. I would have been better off losing an eye or possibly even a hand. For sure some fingers or an ear...... | M | 35 | 7 days 2X day | 12/19/2012 | 1 | post op kidney stone removal | Worst night leg cramps of my life. I'm afraid to go to sleep for fear of the pain. Calves, ankles, feet. Never again will I take this drug and the doctor will hear from me pronto, | The FDA needs to get of their asses and look into this one. I have never had allergies nor any reactions to any drug. I only take a anti cholesterol pill once a day, no other drugs. Never had a reaction before, this is really bad. Wake up calling out to God for help and almost crying from the pain. | M | 59 | 7 days 500 2X day | 10/26/2012 | 1 | UTI | Severe muscle pain in both arms that spread to chest, breasts and legs within a few days of taking it. I'm only 26. | I was fine for the first 5 days of taking it, and then on day 6 I woke up with ridiculous pain in my right shoulder, and it went down my arm to my hand. It hurt so bad I cried. I feel like my muscles are weak and stabbing in pain whenever I use them. It has now spread to my other arm, my breasts, and now my right leg. My heart is still pounding really hard. It's been 4 days since quitting cipro and I don't think this will go away, it's getting worse and I feel like I'm going to die. Don't take this drug, it ruins your life. | F | 26 | 7 days 2 per day 1X day | 9/24/2012 | 1 | Uti | Extreme burning itching pain toes of one foot. After 3days, burning itching pain toes of both feet. Have stopped taking it - have taken Cipro in past with no problems | F | 75 | 7 days 500mg 2X day | 1/7/2013 | 1 | Acute Prostatitis | Pounding heart, sweating, muscle spasm/twitches, feeling anxious. | If you start to notice bothersome side effects, call your doctor and insist on an alternative. | M | 27 | 7 days | 9/26/2005 | 1 | Bladder Infection | muscle weakness, peripheral neuropathy, weakness in arms, legs, dizziness, back papin | do not take it | F | 38 | 7 days | 9/23/2006 |
