Interaction with IC Sucralfate 1 GM and what foods to avoid. The Ciprofloxacin was prescribed for a prostate and/or bladder infection ## The Sucralfate can affect the absorption of the Ciprofloxacin, making it less effective, so you do need to be careful to take the Ciprofloxacin, at least 6 hours after you take the Sucralfate. The Ciprofloxacin may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more: Dairy products can also affect the absorption of it, so they should be avoided within 2 hours of taking the antibiotic. Are there any other questions?

Hi, can i use prednisone after i used ic ciprofloxacin hcl 500 mg for 10 days? ## My findings state that there are potentially unsafe interactions between these two drugs. So as long as you're not taking the two drugs together, then in my opinion you should be fine. Quoted below are the precautions you should be aware of: "Using ciprofloxacin together with prednisone can increase the risk of tendinitis and tendon rupture. This may be more likely to occur in older adults over 60 years of age or those who have received a kidney, heart, and/or lung transplant. Tendon rupture can occur during or up to several months after finishing ciprofloxacin treatment and may require surgery or result in prolonged disability. Talk with your doctor before using these medications together. Stop ta...

my dr prescribed this med for a infection. The Dr. or the pharmacy neglected to tell me that you are not supposed to take antacids with this med. When I got Home I read the paperwork and the warning was also on the bottle. I have to take antacids 2x a day for my GURD. I stopped taking the antacids. What would happen if I had take my regular doses of antacids. ## If you take it with regular antacids, such as the calcium based ones like Tums, it can cause less of the medication to be absorbed, so it isn't as effective. With Ciprofloxacin, you should make sure to take these types of antacids 6 hours away from the antibiotic. This doesn't apply, however, if you are taking some other type, such as the proton pump inhibitors that are sold as generics, as well as under name brands like...

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...

WHITE & OBLONG ## Just to add some information to this post, while the information provided isn't enough to identify a pill and verify what it is, I can provide information on the stated antibiotic. Ciprofloxacin is used to treat various bacterial infections, which means it is not effective against the viruses that cause illnesses such as the cold or flu. And it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Are there any questions? Feel free to ask!

I have 2 prescriptions, cipro 500mg was rx’d for UTI, went somewhere else this time and the rx says cipro 250 HCL also for UTI. Is HCL in all cipro? ## Hello, Sue! How are you? Yes, the full name of it is actually Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride, they just don't always include that abbreviation on the prescription label. It just designated the specific chemical salt the medication is derived from. The FDA lists the typical side effects of antibiotics as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Is there anything else I can help with?

How long does it take to get Ciprofloxacin HCL out of your system if you took 2 pills a day for 10 days? 500mg ## Hello, Sallie! How are you?

Can you use it after it's expiration date? ## Hello, Cin! How are you? Medications tend to lose effectiveness over time and the problem that creates with an antibiotic is that it may not be quite strong enough to eradicate the bacteria that's caused an infection, which means that they are actually given the opportunity to develop resistance to the antibiotic and that has the potential to create serious health problems for you. It really is best to see your doctor for a new prescription. Learn more Ciprofloxacin details here. Antibiotics may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

So I went to the doctor because I had flu like symptoms and a very sore throat with minor headaches. 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. Its typical side effects may possibly include nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Prednisone is a steroid that's used to treat inflammation, which can occur with infections. Starting at a high dose and gradually tapering is normal, but not really necessa...

Can this pill be cut in half in order to make it easier to swallow? ## That really depends on whether or not this pill is a solid tablet or a capsule filled with liquid or powder. Generally, you can't really cut a capsule in half; but rather empty its contents into a glass of water and down it quickly. I wouldn't attempt this however if your medication is an extended release formula; (but based on your description I don't think it is). As such, if it is a tablet, I would just recommend cutting it in half as you planned on doing and taking it that way, as long as you take the two halves one after the other. I hope this helps! ## My husband can not swallow medication and it is crushed and soaked in water and then put through his stomach tube. Some medications will not separate...

I Need to Take 500mg of Ciprofloxacin HCL Twice a for Six Weeks. I also take aspirin, Toprol, Amalodipne, 2 grams of fish oil and Jarro-Dophilus (acidophilus) daily. A friend told me acidophilus may interfere with Ciprofloxacin? Is this true? Do any of the other drugs I take interfere with Ciprofloxacin? Thanks, ## I can't find anything on the Ciprofloxacin with the Acidophilus, since it is a supplement, it's most likely that they haven't actually been studied together. What your friend is probably thinking of is taking it with milk, not the supplementary bacteria, since milk can affect the absorption of some antibiotics. You can learn more Ciprofloxacin details here. And the actual problem medication in your list, which I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned to you bef...
