Ciprofloxacin 500

if I cut ciprofloxacin 500 in half will it be the same as taking a 250 mg pill because 500 is too strong for me and I am ok with the lower dose. ## You should take the dosage prescribed by your doctor. Why do you feel it is too strong for you? Some severe infections require a higher dosage. The U.S. FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, and diarrhea.

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...

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...

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 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.

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?
