can you use ciprofloxacin to treat cough issuses ## Hello, Jexxie! How are you? No, this is an antibiotic that's used to treat or prevent bacterial infections, so it will not do anything to treat or suppress coughing. Side effects to this medication may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Did your doctor prescribe this for you?

my friend just had a prostatectomy and the pathology report (additional findings were Malakoplakia & HGPIN, just wondering if Cipro can cure it and what mg and length of time would he need to take it. Thanks ## Hello, Chip! How are you? Yes an antibiotic is usually used for this, but the specific one and the dosage required depends on the extent of the infection. Has his doctor recommended an antibiotic? ## He is just beside himself because he looked up all types of things under the name and they were all listed as "very rare" etc. So I figured I would ask if this type of antibiotic was a cure for it? I heard that it was? Am I right? He had a prostatectomy and the post- up pathology report said additional findings were HGPIN & Malakoplakia. He said since the prostate was...

I am prescribed 500 mg twice daily for 14 days (on day 3 right now), and I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced drowsiness after taking a dose? I tried doing a very light exercise on an elliptical machine (yes, very slow, light movements) and within 15 minutes felt like my calves were cramping and I was starting to get winded. Afterwards i felt completely exhausted. It's a double edged sword because it seems to be helping with the infection but at the same time I'm not really leading a great quality of life while taking it. I'm thinking of having my doc switch me to Cephalexin if they think that my specific infection can be treated by it since I've taken that in the past without any of these effects. Anyone else experience this from Cipro?

Can you give a child Ciproxina O is they are allergic to pencillin? ## Hi Riley, Ciproxina contains the active ingredient Ciprofloxacin, which is in a class of antibiotics called fluoroquinolones. So if you're child is allergic to Penicillin (and other antibiotics in that group), he or she shouldn't experience the same complications with Ciproxina. Although I would recommend having your child checked for other drug allergies as well, just to be on the safe side. You can learn more about this drug on the page for Ciprofloxacin Details I hope this helps! ## Cipro and other drugs in that class of antibiotics are contraindicated in children, meaning that they should never be given to children for any reason except in the case of a life threatening illness where there is no other tre...

APO-Ciprofloxin -- is there an expiry date on this medication? ## Hello, Diane! How are you? Are they tablets? If so, then the expiration should be one year from when they were dispensed to you by your pharmacy, after that they will begin to lost efficacy. Side effects may include nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea.

Can a Ciprofloxacin HCL 500mg tablet be taken with Naproxen EC 500mg? ## Hello, Bridget! How are you? And no, these two should not be taken together, unless your doctor has specifically told you it's safe for you to do so. Combining the Naproxen with the antibiotic can increase the risk of seizures, though it isn't known why they have this interaction. Is there anything else I can help with? ## Well, he did take the two, but not at the same time. This was done for like 5 days. He was in tremendous pain with his ears and tylenol did not touch the pain. The doctor recommended the tylenol. Would something like Advil been better? He is ok. No seizures. Thank you.

is ciprofloxacin hcl 500 mg tab a penicillin? ## Hello, Cara! How are you? No you can usually spot the ones that are in the Penicillin class, because they use the cillin in the name, so a couple other example that are would be Ampicillin and Amoxicillin. Ciprofloxacin is a Fluoroquinolone class antibiotic and it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Learn more Ciprofloxacin details here. Is there anything else I can help with?

Can you use it after it's expiration date? ## Hello, Cin! How are you? Medications tend to lose effectiveness over time and the problem that creates with an antibiotic is that it may not be quite strong enough to eradicate the bacteria that's caused an infection, which means that they are actually given the opportunity to develop resistance to the antibiotic and that has the potential to create serious health problems for you. It really is best to see your doctor for a new prescription. Learn more Ciprofloxacin details here. Antibiotics may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Are there any other questions or concerns?

I Need to Take 500mg of Ciprofloxacin HCL Twice a for Six Weeks. I also take aspirin, Toprol, Amalodipne, 2 grams of fish oil and Jarro-Dophilus (acidophilus) daily. A friend told me acidophilus may interfere with Ciprofloxacin? Is this true? Do any of the other drugs I take interfere with Ciprofloxacin? Thanks, ## I can't find anything on the Ciprofloxacin with the Acidophilus, since it is a supplement, it's most likely that they haven't actually been studied together. What your friend is probably thinking of is taking it with milk, not the supplementary bacteria, since milk can affect the absorption of some antibiotics. You can learn more Ciprofloxacin details here. And the actual problem medication in your list, which I'm surprised hasn't been mentioned to you bef...

How many of the 500 mg should be taken a day? ## Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that's used to treat various types of infections, but the dosage is usually decided according to the type of infection being treated and its severity. You can learn more Ciprofloxacin details here. Thus, there's no one pat answer that can be given. More details need to be known. You also shouldn't try to self-diagnose and self-treat, as taking an antibiotic, when you don't actually have an infection could cause you to develop antibiotic resistant bacteria. Are there any other comments or questions?

i have a cough from a sinus infection is it fine if i take ciprofloxacin hcl 500mg taran ## Questions like this are frequently asked about antibiotics, so I'm going to post some information for any other viewers to clear things up. Antibiotics are only effective at treating or preventing bacterial infections. They will not do anything to treat or prevent viruses, such as those that cause the common cold or flu, nor will they help treat the symptoms of them. In this case, it could help with the sinus infection, but will not actually do anything to alleviate the cough. Learn more Ciprofloxacin details here. Additionally, someone needs to see their doctor to have the presence of an infection confirmed, before taking an antibiotic and they also need to have enough to finish a full cours...

WHITE & OBLONG ## Just to add some information to this post, while the information provided isn't enough to identify a pill and verify what it is, I can provide information on the stated antibiotic. Ciprofloxacin is used to treat various bacterial infections, which means it is not effective against the viruses that cause illnesses such as the cold or flu. And it may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. Are there any questions? Feel free to ask! There are more Ciprofloxacin details available here for anyone needing more information.
