| RATING | REASON | SIDE EFFECTS FOR CIPRO | COMMENTS | SEX | AGE | DURATION/ DOSAGE | DATE ADDED |
| 1 | UTI | Exhaustion, depression, anxiety, insomnia, hypoglycemia, food allergies, autoimmune disorders, audio distortion, difficulty speaking, migraines, etc... | Unless you have a life or death emergency, do not ever touch this medicine. Doctors do not know the reality of the risks nor do they care. This is not like other medications. The side effects are in a completely different league, I've been bedridden for 7 years because of Cipro. It destroyed every area of my life. Even if you tolerated it before, that means nothing. This med destroys people by the thousands. | 37 | 10 days 500 mg | 10/13/2015 | 1 | uti | Caused severe problems-exhaustion/fatigue, depression, anxiety attacks, insomnia, hypoglycemia, muscle weakness, triggered food allergies, auditory disturbances, cognitive problems, brain fog. I took it 6 weeks ago and I can't get out of bed-severe disabling exhaustion!! | It damages mitochondria. If you have CFS, do not touch this medicine. I wouldn't touch it anyway. It should only be on the market for life threatening emergencies. Your doctor should prescribe you something else. Side effects can show up weeks or months later and you'll never know it was this medicine. | F | 37 | 14 days 500mg 2X day | 6/1/2015 | 1 | UTI/Kidney Infection | Got rid of the infection in 4 days. However, was severely fatigued and weak with tingling, numbness and burning in extremeties. Woke me out of a dead sleep with my legs feeling like they were on fire. Was very anxious while on this antibiotic so I didn't sleep well to begin with. Caused hypoglycemia. This drug replaced my horrible pain from the UTI with horrible side effects. Stopped taking this after only four days. Will never take this medicine again! | F | 39 | 10 days 500 MG 2X day | 8/5/2014 | 1 | Inflammation by frenulum lesion of penis | I was taking the cipro for about 6 days, but I was prescribed to take it for 7 days. I took it for 6 days, but on the 7 th day( even before taking it) my hands were shaking and I waa feeling like hypoglycemia. so I didn't take it at all on the 7 th day. after 5 days of quiting it it felt the same feelings, like hungry all the time and so and on rime I woke up at the middle of the night with totally empty feeling in my stomach and I was hungry. the next day it improved I dont feel tired but a little feeling of hunger is always there. I dicided to contact a hospital and the would make me blood test (a lot of them) Is there anyone who have experienced this? and does anyone know how long the side effects will stay? | M | 25 | 6 days 500 mg twice a day | 4/26/2014 | 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 | 2 | ischemic colitis | Dizziness, hypoglycemia, fatigue, trouble concentrating, chills/hot flashes, nausea, shakiness/tremors, rapid heartbeat, nightmares, trouble sleeping, general anxiety. | I was given this in the hospital as an infection preventative for acute colitis. I asked dr repeatedly to change prescription and he would not. It did keep me from having intestinal complications, I guess, and it cleared up my sinus infection, but I will not take this again - the side effects too extreme for me. | F | 39 | 10 days | 3/18/2006 |
CIPRO (CIPROFLOXACIN HYDROCHLORIDE): This medication is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Ciprofloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for virus infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections. FDA Approval Date: 1987-10-22 (Sources: U.S. Centers for Medicare Services, FDA)
