If you are referring to ciprofloxacin, yes the active ingredient is the same for both dogs and humans. However, the formulation (the inactive or carrier ingredients) can be very different, as can the doseage per pill.

Dosage per pill is always lower, formulation is the same. Dogs can contract every disease as a human, with the exception perhaps of the common cold.

Can you take ciprofloxacin and sertraline?

I am on both Cipro and Doxy at the same time. I am allergic to Penicillin and I am having trouble fighting off a nasty Pasteurella infection in my hand after an animal bite. So yes, you can use them together. The only side effect I've had is increased urination and a touch of the blues.


Are cephalaxin and cipro the same drug?

No. While Cipro (ciprofloxacin) and Keflex (cephalexin) are both antibiotics, they belong to different drug "families" and have different spectrums of activity. They are used to treat a different list of infections (with some overlap). Therefore it is important to use each drug exactly as prescribed.

Is cipro ok to take with coumadin?

You should ask your Pharmacist. My dr. prescribed it and all the pharmacists at Walgreens refused to fill it because I'm on high doses of coumadin. Cipro (Ciprofloxin) is a member of the quinolone group of antibiotics. Peak blood levels are reached 1-2 hours after dosing. If you take an ANTACID containing magnesium or aluminum hydroxide (most have one or both), it will bind up to 90% of the drug, rendering it mostly ineffective. Same is true with zinc, iron, and calcium. It reaches optimum blood levels if taken 2 hours after a meal. If you take THEOPHYLLINE) for asthma, Cipro slows down the breakdown of Theophylline, and it will cause severe nervousness as you would expect with an overdose (could be fatal!). Cipro does the same with CAFFEINE, and will build up higher blood levels of caffeine, causing nervousness and CNS stimulation.
