Ciprofloxacin Hcl 500mg Tab

Doctor prescribed me cipro and prednisone. 2 500mg tabs/day for 10 days and prednisone 10mg tabs. 7 the first day, 6 the second, etc, etc. and 1 on the 7th day. Am I crazy or is this prescription very risky?? ## Hello, Richard! How are you? I'm sorry that you've been ill. What seems risky about it? Ciprofloxacin is classified by the FDA as an antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections.

Can a Ciprofloxacin HCL 500mg tablet be taken with Naproxen EC 500mg? ## Hello, Bridget! How are you?

Combining the Naproxen with the antibiotic can increase the risk of seizures, though it isn't known why they have this interaction. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Well, he did take the two, but not at the same time. This was done for like 5 days.

The FDA lists the typical antibiotic side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea. Was that the medication you...

I found a pill that has p 500 on one side and blank on the other. It's oblong. I cannot find out what it is. I found it in my kids room!! ## Hi Manda, From what I could gather, a white oblong/capsule-shaped pill marked with P 500, reportedly contains 500mgs of Ciprofloxacin HCL. This is an antibiotic used for treating various types of bacterial infections. For verification, the pill itself also carries a National Drug Code of: 16571-412 I hope this helps!
