Cipro has been shown to cause some side effects. Talk to your health care provider if these mild reactions do not go away within a few days.
Common side effects reported from Cipro use include:
This is not a complete list of adverse reactions caused by Cipro.Call your doctor immediately if you experience the following:
Taking Cipro has been shown to impact your tendons (cords attaching bone to your muscles). It can increase your risk of developing tendonitis or a tendon rupture, especially if you’re over 60, taking steroid medications, or have a history of tendon problems.
Cipro can interact with other medications and substances, causing potentially serious side effects or allergic reactions. Tell your doctor if you are taking muscle relaxers such as tizanidine (Zanaflex), phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors such as sildenafil, anticoagulants (blood thinners), antidepressants, antipsychotics, diuretics, insulin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen.
This is not a complete list of Cipro drug interactions, so discuss any medications you’re on, even if you don’t see them listed here. Cipro can cause low blood sugar in some patients. Be wary of low blood pressure symptoms such as blurred vision, fatigue, confusion, pale skin, and cold sweats. Watch for these adverse effects if you have diabetes, and take diabetes medication orally. These could be signs of hypoglycemia and could lead to unconsciousness.
The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found that, while rare, fluoroquinolone antibiotics like Cipro can increase the occurrence of severe ruptures or tears in your aorta (a large artery that begins in the heart). These ruptures can lead to dangerous aortic bleeding, a heart attack, or even death, so people at risk for cardiac problems should be cautious about taking Cipro.
Be sure to tell your doctor if you have been diagnosed with or have a history of other medical conditions, including a prolonged QT interval (a rare heart problem that may cause an irregular heartbeat, fainting, or sudden death), aneurysms, kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, myasthenia gravis (severe muscle weakness), seizures, or diabetes. Cipro can also significantly increase theophylline levels in your blood, leading to serious illness or death. This is not a comprehensive list of medical conditions that Cipro may affect, so speak with your doctor about your medical history before taking Cipro.
Cipro can cause your skin to become sensitive to sunlight or ultraviolet light, so try to avoid unnecessary sun exposure and do your best to wear protective clothing, sunglasses, or sunscreen that is SPF 15 or higher. Call your doctor if you notice redness, swelling, or blistering from sun exposure while on Cipro.
As with all prescription medication, inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been diagnosed with and any medications or supplements you currently take before starting treatment. Antacids can reduce the amount of Cipro that your body absorbs, so be sure to take them at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking antacid medications.
In addition, let your doctor know if you are breastfeeding, pregnant, or planning on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with this medication.
We will continue to evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this medication as part of a treatment plan for diabetes, heart problems, or other medical conditions.Published by:Aquaria

Ciprofloxacin (in the name CIPRO) is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone family. It is used to treat a wide range of infections caused by certain bacteria, such as urinary tract infections (UTIs), respiratory tract infections, and infections of the skin and soft tissue. Ciprofloxacin is effective against a wide range of bacteria, including both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It is also used to treat certain sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including chlamydia and gonorrhea. The drug is sold under the brand name Cipro, and it is commonly used to treat urinary tract infections (UTIs), bacterial skin infections (eg, rosacea), respiratory tract infections (eg, acute exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease), and skin infections caused by certain strains of bacteria.

I recently had a conversation with a patient who was taking a ciprofloxacin (generic of fluoroquinolone) for urinary tract infections. He had a few UTIs but had a UTI on one of his urethra. The patient had never told him about the UTI, and the UTI was the only one he could recall. He had no idea that a UTI was a UTI, and had no idea it was a UTI. He asked me if I was pregnant, and asked if I could give him a UTI test, and if I could come up with something that would be useful to him. I said yes, but this is the first time I have ever asked a patient to come up with a UTI test. He asked me if I would be able to come up with a UTI test. I said yes. He asked if I had any health issues, and he asked if I wanted to come up with a test. I said yes, and he asked if I wanted to come up with a test that would be useful for my patient.
I told him I had no health issues, but he said he was going to come up with a test. I said that was not an issue, but he asked me if he could come up with a test. I said yes and I asked if I could come up with a test. I said yes, and he asked if I wanted to come up with a test. I said yes and he asked if I wanted to come up with a test.
He said yes, and he asked if I wanted to come up with a test.
I was on the phone for the whole morning. I was thinking if I could come up with a test that would be useful to him, but I was not sure if the UTI was a UTI or a UTI.
I asked him if he wanted to come up with a test, and he said yes, and I asked if I wanted to come up with a test.
