Best Answer

Ciprofloxacin is prescribed for varying periods, at varying dosages. Typical periods are 3 to 5 days, or 7 to 14 days for some antibacterial treatments. Immediate-release Cipro should always be taken at the recommended intervals and for the prescribed period. If there are side effects such as severe diarrhea, you should consult your medical professional.

You must take it for as long as the doctor says to take it. If you don't take it for as long as you should, the bacteria will grow back and the ones that do come back will most likely be resistant to Cipro. Now, you will be sicker than before and there is a chance that there may not be anything else to use.

Can percocet and ciprofloxacin hcl be taken together?

I was on 5-15mg a day of oxycodone (percocet minus the tylenol) and the doctor gave me cipro for an infection. I had side effects from the cipro (vivid nightmares) but no interactions between the two. Ask your doctor if you aren't sure. If you are using percocet as a recreational drug then I say cut back to the smallest dose you need to not be sick while you take cipro just to be safe.
