i have a cough from a sinus infection is it fine if i take ciprofloxacin hcl 500mg taran ## Questions like this are frequently asked about antibiotics, so I'm going to post some information for any other viewers to clear things up. Antibiotics are only effective at treating or preventing bacterial infections. They will not do anything to treat or prevent viruses, such as those that cause the common cold or flu, nor will they help treat the symptoms of them. In this case, it could help with the sinus infection, but will not actually do anything to alleviate the cough. Learn more Ciprofloxacin details here. Additionally, someone needs to see their doctor to have the presence of an infection confirmed, before taking an antibiotic and they also need to have enough to finish a full cours...

Can I take cipro with amlodipine? Are they safe taking together ## Hello, Dorothy! How are you? Yes, while it's alway best to double check with your doctor, I didn't find any interactions or problems listed between these medications. The FDA classifies Cipro as an antibiotic and its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Amlodipine is classified as a calcium channel blocker that is most commonly used to treat high blood pressure and certain cardiac conditions. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, dry cough, increased urination and hypotension. Is there anything else I can help with?

SORE THROAT SO BAD THAT I SPIT BLOOD WHEN I CLEAR MY THROAT. ## I have a very bad sore throat and need to know which antibiotic, amoxicilina or ampicilina, is best to treat this sore throat. ## Both Amoxicillin and Ampicillin can be used to treat infections, however, it is very important to be certain that it is being caused by an infection of some type. If the sore throat has been caused by something like a virus, allergies, just being hoarse or a myriad of other things, then antibiotics will not help. In addition, if you use them inappropriately you run the risk of developing antibiotic resistant bacteria.
