Re: Big John (# 19)
The hole isn't from an allergic reaction! It's from repeated sinus infections & having constant drainage or regular prolonged drug use.

when the medicine was prescribed for 1en days and with no refills. The medicine continues its treatment functions beyond the end of prescription. How can I terminate its actions when its treatments seem enough. Thin blood, head spin, etc. bothers me as well as I feel uneasy if its effects my body for ever. Thank You very much.

Never use Cipro as a 'preventative' for anything. I'm not sure why many of you are asking about whether you can use Cipro for certain problems. Unless you have gone to your doctor, had it determined that you ACTUALLY have an active bacterial infection confirmed by culture, and your doctor gave you a prescription, then you should never take an antibiotic at all!
These are not Tylenol, you don't simply take some random antibiotic you have left over in your cabinet because you feel bad. And Cipro is one of the most dangerous. YOu can end up disabled for life because you took this antibiotic when you didnt' have an infection. And you could damage a child's growth plates if you give this to them!
Never take an antibiotic without a confirmed bacterial infection and a prescription. Please read some of the horror stories about Cipro all over the internet before you take this drug. EVEN IF your doctor gives you a prescription for this drug, you should ask him if there are ANY alternatives. Not BETTER alternatives, but ANY alternatives at all. These drugs are unsafe and should be used as a last resort for only life threatening infections for which there are no alternatives.
PLease read this site and educate yourself on the horrors that are the Fluoroquinolone antibiotics.

If his doctor prescribed it why come on the internet and ask? Do you trust strangers more than your doctor? If so....get with a doctor you trust....doctors go to school many years to learn how to treat illnesses. They prescri;e with that knowledge. Looking up information on medication is always a good idea. However if you have leftover antibiotics and just want to try them on your son. .not a good idea, this is part of the problem and misuse of antibiotics. First you didn't take the prescription as ordered and put yourself at risk and potentially vulnerable the next time you need antibiotics and second place your son at risk for the same by using an antibiotic that is not a full course. Rebound illnesses can mutate causing the antibiotics to no longer work effectively needing another antibiotics..and so on and so on...til none work.

YOU ARE THE REASON THEIR ARE ANTIBIOTIC RESISTANT DISEASES THAT ARE KILLING PEOPLE!!!!! Don't you read about this stuff? Use this as a teaching opportunity, tell everyone you know how important it is to complete the course, and why. It doesn't just effect you, it allows the bacteria to mutate so the drug won't work for the next person.

For a cough nothing beats prescription cough syrup with codeine, try to stay away from the Antibiotics no matter what kind, while on them your body may kill your cough or strep throat but you build up a tolerance to Antibiotics & Bam all of a sudden they don't work anymore, your body gets immune to Antibiotics & the problem mutates to withstand Antibiotics, that's why Doctors are recommended not to give Antibiotics for minor stuff like a cold or sore throat.. Hope that helps
