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...

What does it mean if you have mental changes while on cipro? Why does this happen? Could this indicate I have a mental problem? I had the same problem with predazon. Except when I woke up my face was red and puffy. They think I have a allergy to predazone. Any way just concerned that this has happened with two medicines. So far no other side effects from the cipro. Just the mental changes. It's getting better as I let it leave my system. ## No, this doesn't necessarily mean you have a mental problem, it means the medication is having an odd effect on your body. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic and while they can list information on the most common side effects that you may experience, such as: nausea, dizziness, skin rash and diarrhea, there is no way of knowing the specific effec...

Is it dangerous to mix methadone & ciprofloxacin, & if so what would be the percentage rate of those who could be affected??? ## This combination of medications is actually not recommended, because the additive effects may cause QT prolongation and cardiac arrhythmia. There are no specifics on a percentage rate of how many people might be affected, however, if this has made it into the drug warnings, then a pretty high number of people had to have experienced it. Has your doctor advised you to take them both?

I am prescribed 500 mg twice daily for 14 days (on day 3 right now), and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced drowsiness after taking a dose? I tried doing a very light exercise on an elliptical machine (yes, very slow, light movements) and within 15 minutes felt like my calves were cramping and I was starting to get winded. Afterwards i felt completely exhausted. It's a double edged sword because it seems to be helping with the infection but at the same time I'm not really leading a great quality of life while taking it. I'm thinking of having my doc switch me to Cephalexin if they think that my specific infection can be treated by it since I've taken that in the past without any of these effects. Anyone else experience this from Cipro?

Is this cipro or something else ## The tablet with the RX 711 marking should be oblong and white. (750mgs) The tablet with the CR 500 on it should also have an arrow on the opposite, oblong and white. (500mgs) Ellen, that capsule is listed by Teva as containing 500mgs of Cephalexin, so it is a different antibiotic.
