Cipro Side Effect
UpdatedI am a 30-year-old active and healthy male. I was diagnosed with prostatitis and prescribed Cipro for four weeks. My prostatitis symptoms have gone away but I'm still having side effects from the Cipro. I am having bad leg pain in my knees calves and thighs. I am also having pain in my knees and ankles. I stopped taking the Cipro four days ago and I feel like my legs are getting worse. I went for a walk around the block and it feels like I ran a marathon. My question iswill these side effects go away? And how long does it take for the side effects to go away?

Hello, Cjones! How are you feeling? I'm sorry about the problems you've had.
Yes, they should go away, it usually takes a week or so, after you finish your course of the antibiotic. If they don't go away, then you should have things checked out, as the symptoms might be caused by something unrelated.
Other side effects to this antibiotic may include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.
Are there any other questions or concerns?
