I began a two week regimen of Cipro a month ago. Just as I was ending the regimen (I felt no side effects during the two weeks), I began to feel some itching and a sensation of a sunburned face. It's been two weeks and there is not a lot of improvement. Has anybody else had the same experience with Cipro? Please no exaggerators or fatalists, just honest responses and how they fared over time. ## You may be having an allergic reaction to it, it sometimes takes awhile for one to manifest. I turned out to be allergic to one a few years ago and the symptoms didn't manifest, until I was 9 and a half days in to a 10 day course. It would be best to have it checked out to be sure. It took about a month for all of my symptoms to fully go away. The FDA lists the typical side effects of th...

I am using the nustrate inj., however in February this year I developed a fungal infection. I started taking meds that resulted in me spotting everyday. I don't see my periods when I am using it but recently I was intimate while I was bleeding or spotting without protection and I worry if I would be pregnant cause I didn't test before the inj. again. ## Hello, Dudu! How are you? What medications did you take? Some antibiotics can lessen the efficacy of some hormonal contraceptives, as reported by the NIH. However, there shouldn't be an issue if you only took antifungals. Some antifungals tend to cause spotting, if used vaginally, because they irritate the cervix.

I'm allergic to bactrim with sulfer can I take bio-flex ## There is a risk that you could be allergic to other sulfa substances, especially since being allergic to one increases your risk of being allergic to others, as reported by the NIH. I found out that I am allergic to Bactrim, but I've taken these supplements without problems in the past and I take some sulfa based blood pressure medications without issues, but not all. Thus, I think it would be best to consult your doctor first, for your own safety. Are you allergic to any other medications?
