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.
It is safe to take this antibiotic with Metformin. It is glyburide which interacts with Cipro, so you are safe to take your metformin. Remember to take all of your cipro, even after you feel better. You want to kill all the bacteria and not leave any hiding in your body!
Cipro should not affect your surgery. However, I always recommend talking to your doctor about everything you're taking ahead of time. Tell the surgeon about the antibiotic and let them make the final decision about it.
I would definitely ask your doctor about this.
Yes, as long as the antibiotic is not expired, and has not been contaminated by something else, gentamycin is safe for children.
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.
My cats have been on cipro in the past---so--it must be safe. Dosages have to be proper for the animals weight, age..and the condition that is being treated. Pet pharmacies sell it too...so--obviously it is ordered for pets.
Ciprofloxacin is a prescription medication intended for humans and should never be given to a cat or any other animal. A safe antibiotic alternative would be apple cider vinegar.
No. If you need an antibiotic, see a doctor and get a prescription.
depends on which antibiotic you are using. For example, Azithromycin is a relatively safe and effective antibiotic. Where as Vancomycin, is a highly effective antibiotic (covers MRSA) but has a lot of morbidities associated w/ it (hearing loss, kidney malfunction, etc).
I always get cipro prescribed for my bladder infections. My dr. is off on fridays and i know I have a bladder infection.My dog has a full prescription for Cipro 500 mg that he couldn't take can I use it? It looks just like what I took<
No. Cephalexin (trade name Keflex) is a 1st generation cephalosporin, an antibiotic related to penicillin. It is not a sulfa drug or derivative.
Can I take Zantac and diazepam while on cipro
