I just started taking this medication a couple of days ago for an intestinal infection, and it's working soooo well. I was severely nauseous and could hardly eat, not to mention loads of other horrible symptoms, and this medication is clearing it up like magic. I'm only on day 3 and my appetite has almost fully come back, which is amazing. I do have a couple of side effects like stomach pain and insomnia, but it's not too terrible. Whenever my stomach starts to hurt, I just lay down and let it pass. Remember to eat well, drink juice (especially grapefruit juice, great for the liver), take probiotics and relaaaax. Especially if you're treating any kind of infection, your pills will be 10 times more effective if you go easy on yourself. Wishing everyone good health :)
@@sophine7189 Nope, my gastritis was stress-related. I tackled that later with omeprazole and green tea (works wonders for the body). Cypro helped me to get rid of the infection in my intestines.
I can’t believe I took these pills for a whole month as prescribed from my doctor. Took these for prostatitis and developed twitching in my calves and fingers that never happened before I took these. The scariest thing while on these pills was never being able to sleep for more than 4 hours because my body would force itself awake. Thankfully this is gone but I was so anxious. Definitely would recommend being prescribed some other antibiotic that is safer. These should be like a last resort
I just watched a clip from Mr ballen about a young guys whose Achilles tendons were so tight they felt like they were gonna snap, next day the tendons in his fingers and hands were the same . This lasted for more than three years .. all due to this medication 😞
If you’re reading these comments and are worried because your doctor prescribed them, then please take caution from what you see and hear.I was diagnosed with prostatitis. Doctor prescribed ciprofloxacin. This is my third day taking it. Second day I had a slight headache. But this day my tendons are aching my head is pounding and I feel a little weak. From reading these comments I suggest you only take this when this is your last option. Other than that stay away from this.
@@tevo7138 yes.he gave me two type of antibiotics. First one is cefuroxime for seven days.the second one is cipro for 10 days. I am now on sixth day of cefuroxime.
Taking a Fluoroquinolone is like playing russian roulette. Never take this kind of drugs unless is a life or death situation. Look it up, the side effects are real, horrific and permanent
@@javieraibanezr I would stop taking that right now. Seriously. Look up Richard Siagian, he passed away from not being able to sleep for over a year from taking ciproflox.
A guy using this died from not being able to sleep for 4 months, doctors have to sedate him and he would sleep only 2 hours in nightmare. He thought he had fatal insomnia and theres a youtube vid about this titled “Man documents fatal insomnia mental breakdown”
Please as a 19 year old who’s life changed in just a week for a simple infection in 2020. Don’t take this it is unpredictable and if you have any side effects doctors will not take you seriously.
Im 19 too... Dude I did not even have any infection yet that dumb doctor gave me ciprofloxacin as a precautionary antibiotic for 2 pills a day for 7 days.... On the 4th day I couldn't anymore.. I stopped... Losing one kg a day. ... Muscle weakness... Tendon pain... I even told the doctor as you said he did not take it seriously.... Kept saying those are not related to cipro.... Now I'm ended up with a rib smaller than the other, a leg longer than the other, difficulty in breathing, eating, yellowing of skin.... And please don't ask about my mental health.... Yoga and meditation is helping a lot for the moment.... It's been two weeks.. I wonder what's next... I'm telling ya, Us cipro victims should join and make a video about this shit.... This has to 🛑

I'm Mauritian and my ancestors were from India (50% of the Mauritian population ancestors came from India ) Thank you for praying dear... Did you also have bad experiences with cipro?
@@kareenagopaul8061I am medical student. just my curiousity lead me to search about this medicine. I never took it. Btw can you tell me your experience with this medicine. btw thank you for your reply. And I hope you get well soon. God bless you
@@ayushi3243 Hi sorry for late respond ... So I went to the doctor because I had a pain on my lower right belly, constipation and frequent urination.. .. There he did a fast urine test which was negative.... Asked whether I had fever, blood in urine, diarrhea, burning urine and I said no because I didn't have any of that..... He said that I'll have to do an echography... I did it and they noticed a mild fullness in my right kidney.... Now that doctor said that he will prescribe me antibiotics as a "precautionary measure" because according to him my right kidney took more time to dislodge water and he THOUGHT that I might be having a urinary tract infection which he thinks might be affecting my right kidney...he prescribed me ciprofloxacin for 7 days per 12 hours and said that I will eventually have to go to an urologist and do a blood test if the pain persists.... I didn't know much about antibiotics at that time so I took it.... The first day I took it, I had insomnia, my right ribcage and my knees pained and even told the doctor about it but he said that it's not related and to continue... He said that even when you take dolipran you get pain in knees so it's nothing.... Yeah so to me at that time my respond was like he's a doctor, so he should know his work... I trusted and continued on taking the pills... The more I was taking the pills the more I felt weak, I had muscle weakness, my joints pained, my bones were shrinking and I was literally loosing 1kg a day..... On the fourth day, I couldn't anymore, I told my dad to call the doctor about it... Still his response was the same..."its nothing and continue on... Even when you take dolipran you get muscle pain and blabla" .... Then I told him that my left side of the rib was also paining... Then he said to stop and to go to the urologist... 2 days after I stopped the antibiotic, I noticed that my right leg became longer that my left and my right rib shrank(idk it's whether my right kidney took more time to dislodge cipro that's why my right side of my body deformed... Do you think it's this?)... I got randez vous with the urologist 4 days after I stopped the pills.... I went to the urologist and there seeing my echography results, he said that the bulge in my right kidney was very mild and it was nothing to worry about. He also said that the antibiotic was unessasary.... I went back to that generalist doctor who prescribed me cipro because I needed answers. Again he was like no it's totally fine to prescribe cipro as a precautionary antibiotic... I told him that I read on the net that cipro damages the kidney more and he was like "penicillin affects the livers so when you have throat pain we don't prescrib you penicillin"... He refused admit that he shitted.... Meanwhile I was getting insomia, thoughts running like crazy at night, my head pained, I had difficulty remembering and my eyes and skin turned yellow and my bones on my right feet swelled. I went to a bone doctor and again there he told me that the antibiotic was an over treatment.... He said that if the doctor was really that worried about the bulge, the least he could do was doing another echography one week later to see whether the bulge increased or onot and definitely not prescribe antibiotic..... 2months passed..now I get difficulty breathing, I still get insomia, my bones pain, right side of my head and right eye continually pain, I forget stuffs a lot, vertigo while doing yoga, loosing hair, muscle pain, tendon pain, back pain like hell, eyes, skin yellow and poop pale brown... I'm just 19 years old and it's frustrating for me to see all of that changes overnight... I was doing just good and look at me now.... And the worse is that many many many doctors here... Even the specialist don't know about the adverse effects of fluroquinolene drugs... So when I tell them about my side effects and my experience on this antibiotic, they either shut me off saying I'm overthinking or they say that I'm reading too much on the internet... if I want to go get imaging done to see if somethings ruined inside, I don't have the support of neither doctors nor my parents and I don't have my own money to do it. So I have to wait for end stages for steps to be taken... To end, I want to request you that someday when you become a doctor, please think 10 thousand times before prescribing your patients fluroquinolenes because this shit is seriously changing lives in a bad way right here...
I was put on this for UTI and took it for a week. I have been off the pills for almost 3 weeks now and have been suffering awful side effects everyday since. I didn’t realize how damaging this medication was and my doctor nor pharmacist warned me of anything. I’m terrified I will never get better.
My last dose was 11 mos ago. Still have some side effects but lots of prayer and diet modification has helped. I read the pamphlet supplied with Rx and did research but no warnings from physician. I will do my best to avoid but am now allergic to Penicillin due to massive doses as premed for dental appointments (this protocol now discontinued).
I was prescribed to take it for 3 days...barely got through 2 days...so glad I didn't take anymore of it. My legs wouldn't move and I fell and fractured my ankle and foot. I'm going to have it put on record to NEVER give to me again because it's dangerous. I'm still praying I get back to walking pain-free again soon.
Um I'm freakin scared rn I took a dose 2 days ago I couldn't sleep that whole night, I stopped it now and my sleep seems okay I hope the damage isn't done
@Fuck RUclips well not only my doctor I talk to my friend and also my cousin took Ofloxacin for stomach issues, it didn't seen to effect them, even infants are given this in form of drops...
@@totallycoolgamer2682 no I'm not okay, I developed insomnia and joint pains.. I got it 3 days after I stopped the tablet... I'm currently browsing this stuff like shit also joined a subreddit..
Let's talk about never using this drug again. let's talk about a class action lawsuit against anybody advises to use this drug and any company that makes it.
Shouldyou used this medication for uti? I can barely sleep and eat because of it. My doctor prescribed Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole to take at the same time. Which he wanted me to take the Metro 3 times a day and Cipro two times a day. It's my 4th day taking them and I can see improvement on my uti but the medication just making me feel worse. If I would take both of those pills like I would supposed to, I would be ingesting 2,500mg of antibiotics (which sounds really bad).
This medication made the doctors think I had ra at 27 with horrible anxiety and nightmares that I still have.. I had to relearn how to swim and run thanks to this medication. ER said I had no active infection that the walk in clinic said I have so turns out I didn't need to take it in the first place. Unless it's life threatening or no other medication works this should not be first line medication like it was used for me. Medication literally stole my 20s... I had to relearn to take medication also because it gave me an extreme phobia to all drugs even otc ones that I used to take everyday.
Im sorry to hear this ...are they still prescribing this today?...it made a man unable to sleep for a year straight ...gave him insomnia ..burning tingling and numbness to the spine ...it killed the nerves...
@@yungsimplistic I have tingling no burning I'm pretty good today. I still have trouble sleeping and taking anything stronger then Tylenol because of extreme anxiety but it's getting better.
Update: After going through some of the comments, I coming off these pills. Right now I am lightheaded and don't have any appetite to eat. Imma get another recommendation from another doctor cause these things making me feel worse
It's a very effective drug,I was having urinary infection and my symtoms improved significantly after taking it for 48hrs.But dealing with the side effects is scary as hell.I couldn't sleep through out the first day,I later started having zaps in my head,I started feeling like collapsing any moment which made me extremely anxious.I had to discontinue because i couldn't bear the side effects of it,it was like i wasn't living. To be honest like many have opined in the comments section,this drug should be your last option or it should be administered in lesser doses.
@caboverdecochise I took it for just 72hrs. If there is an alternative please go for it,this drug should be your last option.The side effects affects almost everyone that takes it,as you can read from the comments.I hope you doing better,sorry I just saw your message now.
@jimmymaputla9859 Sorry about that Man,it's a weird drug and whats most scary is its side effects last almost forever.I wish i did some research before taking it.With all these complaints,I wonder why Doctors still prescribe it.
Thank you for this video. Im taking that now and i have side effects like weakness in my body , dizzy but in a few minuyes it will disappear but be Cautious...
I'm glad you did not suffer any major damages man god bless you and keep safe. this drug is really scary why is this out in the public this should be strictly exclusive for hospital use only
Thanks for the information. With time I have developed side effects with this medicine like nausea etc. Avoid it, until do or die condition. This is the case with most of the antibiotics. I was wondering why i was totally fine with most of the antibiotics earlier but developed side effects (mostly nausea and giddiness) since past 2-3 yrs??
Hi Simplified, That is a hard question to answer. It could depend on many factors. So I don't really know, however this is a common. A lot of people experience this.
@@Zacmarie Call your doctor and ask for a non-flouroquinolone antibiotic. I hope you don't have a reaction. Also just because you took it with no bad reaction once doesn't mean you won't have a bad reaction to it later. Only use as an absolutely last resort. Cipro ruined my life.
Omg, I started this yesterday for a vaginal infection with ureaplasma parvum. I feel so tired right now. What should I do? I'm scared by the side effects 😰
I finish my cipro 2x a day for 7 days ang thanks God I don't have any side effects as mentioned by others..they scare you so you don't take it..don't listen to others..
I'd taken 6 tablets already for 3 days as my doctor prescribed it for 10 days 2x a day. After taking those 6 pills I stopped after reading horrors stories that surrounds it but I didn't feel any side effects so far. Now, 2 days after I stopped, Im not sure if im just in a state of hypochondria because the more I read about a terrifying stories due to its side effects the more I feel that my joint are started to feel pain 😭😭. Im still hope that what I feel is just in my mind 😭😭

Hi, Just wanted to know. Just started taking Cipro, and one hour after first dose I had sudden diarrhea. Is this normal? Should I stop taking it? I am almost afraid to take another pill.
no it's not stop using this drug immediately and go out seek real medical advise from a real doctor, do not rely on youtube or online doctors they can't check your body virtually.

hello doc I have chlamedia and gonorrhea at the same time , i am taking ciprofloxacin 500 mg at 5th day now but symptoms are still shown can I be cured?
4 million people get proscribed this drug a year, with you having a less than 0.5 chance of having serious side affects that means 4000 out if the 4 million will have side effects, if you have concerns about taking this then talk to your doctor, the only people who feel the need of finding videos to comment are the unlucky ones who did get the side affects i took cipro for 1.5 months for Prostatitis and had no side affects, not even nausea
Very good video! Cipro put me in wheelchair and i cant use my legs or hands anymore. My mom is writing this for me. But atleast the antibiotics cured my small sickness 2 years ago. Truly a once in a lifetime experience!!! 😎👍🏻
@@gachahaylee7182 my comments were jokes. I will never take that med its dangerous. Doctors will never tell you about the risks. I once had medicine for depression and the side effecg was "electric shocks in brain and spine" and i would get 'stunned' with electric shocks couple times a day for weeks. You will never know what side effects you get unless you try the medicine personally. Everyone is different. When i readed other peoples experiences some said their side effects were losing interest to sx forever and having no interest of love anymore and it ruined their lifes and marriages. The medicine in this video should be your last resort if there's no other way to help your problem.
Hello doc I want to be pregnant I have bought the clomid already but the famist advice me to take ciprofloxacin if I have infection so am taking it now is as for the clomid I want to take it when am on my menstrual cycle but what I want to know sir,is the ciprofloxacin cannot stop me from taking please answer
I started 2 days of my medication for my UTI and Im taking this antibiotic because my Doctor advised me to take it for 7days medication. But I feel dizzy and little pain on my both side of my kidney, and hard to sleep because of pee, but not all the time. Is it normal Doc?
@chippy Stop it why are you killing yourself.? There are NORMAL antibiotics don’t take this ****. You will get blind. A man Couldn’t sleep for a year cuz of this s**t and died.
If you’re taking this for a UTI, please don’t unless it’s your last option. Meaning, other antibiotics didn’t work. Get a second opinion from a different doctor. One doctor said I had a UTI and another said I didn’t. Was mistakenly given this drug for a week twice a day... took one pill and had a really bad reaction. Had bad diarrhea right away, numbing in my left arm, and couldn’t sleep without feeling paranoid/ panic attack. Also felt super dizzy, couldn’t eat, or stand for long. Didn’t sleep for DAYS. Had to go to the hospital where they gave me a pill to relax my muscles and nerves. Worked and I’m fine now. But this drug was a nightmare
@@zekenazari6781 If you’re talking about the one at the hospital, I do not. I was not given the name of the pill for my protection. All I knew what that it helps you calm down. Very addictive pill. It’s one of those pills people probably try to abuse. After that pill, I felt somewhat “high” if that makes sense. They won’t give it to you without a reason. They have to evaluate you and see if you really need it by a doctor at a hospital. Sometimes a psychiatrist will prescribe it.
Thank you for your response. I took one pill like you and had a lot of nightmares and body aches. The next week I had a hard time walking, but im finally now seem to see some recovery. ( I think ) Saw a doctor and the other day all they've given was an Ant inflammatory. And once the ER, but they didn't give me anything at all or help. I'm hoping I can get better... I'm on day 16 of being sick so far. I'm so mad at myself and the doctor because I never even needed this drug, they thought I had a UTI when I really didnt. I had to drop out of my summer class because I havent been able to move much.
@@zekenazari6781 No problem! It seems that your story is similar to mine. And Yes, the warning in the back says it can cause nerve issues or even muscle issues.I’ve heard many stories of it causing problems with the legs. I’m glad you’re somewhat recovering! If I’m honest, I think they only gave me the pill because I have really bad anxiety. Plus, I was 19 so they saw me as a “young girl who had her first UTI and is freaking out”. Ended up with the pill and a referral to therapy. I also didn’t sleep for days and it was obvious I was slow because of it. Doctor actually gave me a long talk about life, stress, and all sorts of stuff. Very similar to what my therapist would do. The way they talked to me was as if I was 7 years old. Eh, go figure. I don’t want to say it will fix your issue. I know someone who went to therapy and got medicated for this... it didn’t help them. Every case is different. And same thing happened to me!! Never had a UTI. This happened to me during summer as well. I was taking a psychology course. If it wasn’t for my ex boyfriend supporting me and my professor being super understanding, I would have dropped it. You should take it easy, though, it seems like your reaction was worse than mine. I was fortunate to find a female doctor in training who listened to me after I switched. She was more than willing to avoid this awful drug. But because I didn’t have a UTI, she went above and beyond to help me figure out what was wrong. Still in progress of figuring it out, but I have an idea on what it is. Nevertheless, it’s frustrating knowing that many medicals refuse to see how bad this drug is. My only warning was, “this will make you slightly dizzy”. Definitely not the full picture. Hope you recover soon. 16 days of this torture sounds awful. I don’t wish this on anyone.
@@zekenazari6781 oh! I forgot to add that most ER won’t take you seriously unless you were showing allergic reactions to the medication. The nurse and doctor pretty much dismissed the idea of the drug being bad. She just told me to eat probiotic yogurt while being on the pill to help with the diarrhea. And again, therapy was suggested to me. I remember her saying she couldn’t count the pill as “bad” either on my records to avoid unless I was allergic to it.
Doctor how many dosage can a typhoid patient take and for how many days? could you please put light on that, and thank you so much for great free info that you are providing! kudos for that!
Sir please refrain from asking medical advise in the Internet please go out and seek to your nearest clinic or to any medical professional that can advise or exam you so you can take the proper medicine for your ailments. This drug is not some kind of paracetamol where you can freely use it with ease.
Don't take it unless you absolutely have no other alternatives!!! The side effects aren't that uncommon and usually way worse than what you usually trying to treat. I have advere side effects after only 1 pill! Neuropatic pain, pain in tendons, numbness in my hand and leg. Really not worth it.
Watching this whole the medicine is on my hand. Reading the comments made me hesitate to take it. Damn!I already had anxiety and I don't want to add more when drinking this.
I was told 5 to 6 days 2 a day 500mg how long will it be out of my system after last dose? 2nd how long before my energy goes up and chills and shivers and being sleepy and lack of energy stops.
A doctor gave me two antibiotics to take at the same time : ciprofloxacin & Rifampin. I only have a persistent cough, I do not have pneumonia or UTI, I do not have bones or joints infection either. FDA has warned that this antibiotic can rupture the tendon. No, I stopped taking them.
Hello Doc, is there any alternative for treating diarrhea? Also i find strange that one of the side effects is diarrhea, so how do you explain that this med is used to treat that same issue? Is it okay if I take 250 for breakfast and 250 for lunch? What about taking only 250 mg per day until diarrhea resolves? Thanks
My doctor gave me Cipro to treat a possible UTI. A lab test didn’t even confirm that I had one. It was just incase. Was that dumb of him to do? I had stomach pain/aches I went to the ER cause I got a little worried snd they told me to stop taking it
Same here, had intense stomach pain that lasted for days, went to the emergency room, they tested my urine and said I possibly had a UTI and gave me ciprofloxacin for seven days. Got the symptoms a month after that again the same treatment. I've taken ciprofloxacin about 6 separate times this year alone. Symptoms disappear for about a month and half then come back. I don't know what to do. Ciprofloxacin is the only thing that works. No pain killers work😢😭
This antibiotic has black box warnings!! As a microbiology laboratory clinician I've seen horrible reactions that lasted for more than a year. Destroys gut bacteria, tendons and shouldn't be a first line treatment.
what are alternatives to this drug, for a heavy cartilage infection that I feel is moving into my neck or what feels like my head and back muscles or maybe skin.
NHS states serious side affects happen in less that 1 in 100 people, if its the only things that’s going to cure you then do what the doctor says, after reading the other comments i dont think saying stuff thats gonna scare people or cause anxiety is a good thing, i took cipro for 1.5 months to treat Prostatitis, and i had no side affects, not even nausea, listen to medical professionals but at the end of the day dont take something your not 100% comfortable, i didnt know of the risks when i took it but tbh im glad i didnt otherwise i would have been stressing about it too much
Just started cipro today and am supposed to take two 500 mg pills a day. But after reading the reviews I'm nervous as hell to take 1000 mg in a day so I only took one. Does 500 mg have any effect or is 1000 mg absolutely needed
@@avratzz well that’s great to hear. I was taking it for 5 days and had no noticeable side effects, I just didn’t want to risk it because it’s rare but you can have prolonged side effects that can appear up to 6 months after you’ve taken it

Hello sir I am 22 years old and the doctor prescribed ciprofloxacin to me because of abdominal pain. But I read that cirofloxacin is not given to people under 18 years of age because it affects the growth plates of children and adolescents. But I read some articles on the Internet that the growth plates close at the age of 25. Did the medication affect my growth plates? Is it scientifically wrong to say that the growth plates close at the age of 25? My last question: If we assume that ciprofloxacin affected my growth plates, what are the signs that indicate that???

this drug is used for last resort only, this drug has a very serious side effects it can make you blind, paralysed, fatal insomnia and more. what kind of doctor that prescribes this drug like it's ordinary.
@@mimiko8577 last resort? 😂😂👌 where do yall come from? There are anti biotics farrr more powerful than cipro. Those are last resort. Not cipro which is widely distributed. You aint a doctor. Stop feeding these poor people nonsense
No doctor should be prescribing ANY sort of antibiotic for abdominal pain, NOT EVER. This is how we get antibiotic resistant bacteria then we die bc the antibiotic won’t work. Flat out. Don’t take it. It’ll kill all bacteria in gut flora and then you’ll have MASSIVE WORSE problems and more pain I bet you.
My doctor prescribed these drugs for Paronychia (left hand middle finger inflammation). Is it normal to prescribe so strong antibiotics in this case ? I am really really really worried about taking these ? Help me PLS!

Curious on how your insomnia is as well. A man took ciprofloxican, and got a condition to fatal insomnia.

If you’re reading these comments and are worried because your doctor prescribed them, then please take caution from what you see and hear.I was diagnosed with prostatitis. Doctor prescribed ciprofloxacin. This is my third day taking it. Second day I had a slight headache. But this day my tendons are aching my head is pounding and I feel a little weak. From reading these comments I suggest you only take this when this is your last option. Other than that stay away from this.
Have you ended full course of ciprofloxacin.i am scared cause my doctor prescribed me this medicine for sinusitis.should i eat the medicine😔
@@mofizmofiz9966 did he prescribe it with something?
@@tevo7138 yes.he gave me two type of antibiotics. First one is cefuroxime for seven days.the second one is cipro for 10 days. I am now on sixth day of cefuroxime.
@@tevo7138 do you ended full course of ciprofloxacin. Should i eat the medicine?😔
@@mofizmofiz9966 see how your body reacts to it. Everybody different.I noticed on the third day that my leg muscles was feeling tender
Taking a Fluoroquinolone is like playing russian roulette. Never take this kind of drugs unless is a life or death situation. Look it up, the side effects are real, horrific and permanent
I can attest to that. DO NOT TAKE THEM
Its poison
Is this true? I'm taking it right now for a vaginal infection
@@javieraibanezr I would stop taking that right now. Seriously. Look up Richard Siagian, he passed away from not being able to sleep for over a year from taking ciproflox.
A guy using this died from not being able to sleep for 4 months, doctors have to sedate him and he would sleep only 2 hours in nightmare. He thought he had fatal insomnia and theres a youtube vid about this titled “Man documents fatal insomnia mental breakdown”
Please as a 19 year old who’s life changed in just a week for a simple infection in 2020. Don’t take this it is unpredictable and if you have any side effects doctors will not take you seriously.
Im 19 too... Dude I did not even have any infection yet that dumb doctor gave me ciprofloxacin as a precautionary antibiotic for 2 pills a day for 7 days.... On the 4th day I couldn't anymore.. I stopped... Losing one kg a day. ... Muscle weakness... Tendon pain... I even told the doctor as you said he did not take it seriously.... Kept saying those are not related to cipro.... Now I'm ended up with a rib smaller than the other, a leg longer than the other, difficulty in breathing, eating, yellowing of skin.... And please don't ask about my mental health.... Yoga and meditation is helping a lot for the moment.... It's been two weeks.. I wonder what's next... I'm telling ya, Us cipro victims should join and make a video about this shit.... This has to 🛑

@@ayushi3243 Hi sorry for late respond ... So I went to the doctor because I had a pain on my lower right belly, constipation and frequent urination.. .. There he did a fast urine test which was negative.... Asked whether I had fever, blood in urine, diarrhea, burning urine and I said no because I didn't have any of that..... He said that I'll have to do an echography... I did it and they noticed a mild fullness in my right kidney.... Now that doctor said that he will prescribe me antibiotics as a "precautionary measure" because according to him my right kidney took more time to dislodge water and he THOUGHT that I might be having a urinary tract infection which he thinks might be affecting my right kidney...he prescribed me ciprofloxacin for 7 days per 12 hours and said that I will eventually have to go to an urologist and do a blood test if the pain persists.... I didn't know much about antibiotics at that time so I took it.... The first day I took it, I had insomnia, my right ribcage and my knees pained and even told the doctor about it but he said that it's not related and to continue... He said that even when you take dolipran you get pain in knees so it's nothing.... Yeah so to me at that time my respond was like he's a doctor, so he should know his work... I trusted and continued on taking the pills... The more I was taking the pills the more I felt weak, I had muscle weakness, my joints pained, my bones were shrinking and I was literally loosing 1kg a day..... On the fourth day, I couldn't anymore, I told my dad to call the doctor about it... Still his response was the same..."its nothing and continue on... Even when you take dolipran you get muscle pain and blabla" .... Then I told him that my left side of the rib was also paining... Then he said to stop and to go to the urologist... 2 days after I stopped the antibiotic, I noticed that my right leg became longer that my left and my right rib shrank(idk it's whether my right kidney took more time to dislodge cipro that's why my right side of my body deformed... Do you think it's this?)... I got randez vous with the urologist 4 days after I stopped the pills.... I went to the urologist and there seeing my echography results, he said that the bulge in my right kidney was very mild and it was nothing to worry about. He also said that the antibiotic was unessasary.... I went back to that generalist doctor who prescribed me cipro because I needed answers. Again he was like no it's totally fine to prescribe cipro as a precautionary antibiotic... I told him that I read on the net that cipro damages the kidney more and he was like "penicillin affects the livers so when you have throat pain we don't prescrib you penicillin"... He refused admit that he shitted.... Meanwhile I was getting insomia, thoughts running like crazy at night, my head pained, I had difficulty remembering and my eyes and skin turned yellow and my bones on my right feet swelled. I went to a bone doctor and again there he told me that the antibiotic was an over treatment.... He said that if the doctor was really that worried about the bulge, the least he could do was doing another echography one week later to see whether the bulge increased or onot and definitely not prescribe antibiotic..... 2months passed..now I get difficulty breathing, I still get insomia, my bones pain, right side of my head and right eye continually pain, I forget stuffs a lot, vertigo while doing yoga, loosing hair, muscle pain, tendon pain, back pain like hell, eyes, skin yellow and poop pale brown... I'm just 19 years old and it's frustrating for me to see all of that changes overnight... I was doing just good and look at me now.... And the worse is that many many many doctors here... Even the specialist don't know about the adverse effects of fluroquinolene drugs... So when I tell them about my side effects and my experience on this antibiotic, they either shut me off saying I'm overthinking or they say that I'm reading too much on the internet... if I want to go get imaging done to see if somethings ruined inside, I don't have the support of neither doctors nor my parents and I don't have my own money to do it. So I have to wait for end stages for steps to be taken... To end, I want to request you that someday when you become a doctor, please think 10 thousand times before prescribing your patients fluroquinolenes because this shit is seriously changing lives in a bad way right here...

what was your side effects.
What happened?
My last dose was 11 mos ago. Still have some side effects but lots of prayer and diet modification has helped. I read the pamphlet supplied with Rx and did research but no warnings from physician. I will do my best to avoid but am now allergic to Penicillin due to massive doses as premed for dental appointments (this protocol now discontinued).

I was prescribed to take it for 3 days...barely got through 2 days...so glad I didn't take anymore of it. My legs wouldn't move and I fell and fractured my ankle and foot.

Shouldyou used this medication for uti? I can barely sleep and eat because of it. My doctor prescribed Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole to take at the same time. Which he wanted me to take the Metro 3 times a day and Cipro two times a day. It's my 4th day taking them and I can see improvement on my uti but the medication just making me feel worse. If I would take both of those pills like I would supposed to, I would be ingesting 2,500mg of antibiotics (which sounds really bad).
did you get any side effects?
This medication made the doctors think I had ra at 27 with horrible anxiety and nightmares that I still have.. I had to relearn how to swim and run thanks to this medication. ER said I had no active infection that the walk in clinic said I have so turns out I didn't need to take it in the first place. Unless it's life threatening or no other medication works this should not be first line medication like it was used for me. Medication literally stole my 20s... I had to relearn to take medication also because it gave me an extreme phobia to all drugs even otc ones that I used to take everyday.

If you’re taking this for a UTI, please don’t unless it’s your last option. Meaning, other antibiotics didn’t work.
Get a second opinion from a different doctor. One doctor said I had a UTI and another said I didn’t. Was mistakenly given this drug for a week twice a day... took one pill and had a really bad reaction. Had bad diarrhea right away, numbing in my left arm, and couldn’t sleep without feeling paranoid/ panic attack. Also felt super dizzy, couldn’t eat, or stand for long. Didn’t sleep for DAYS. Had to go to the hospital where they gave me a pill to relax my muscles and nerves. Worked and I’m fine now. But this drug was a nightmare
Do you remember what drug you took?
@@zekenazari6781 If you’re talking about the one at the hospital, I do not. I was not given the name of the pill for my protection. All I knew what that it helps you calm down. Very addictive pill. It’s one of those pills people probably try to abuse. After that pill, I felt somewhat “high” if that makes sense. They won’t give it to you without a reason. They have to evaluate you and see if you really need it by a doctor at a hospital. Sometimes a psychiatrist will prescribe it.
Thank you for your response. I took one pill like you and had a lot of nightmares and body aches. The next week I had a hard time walking, but im finally now seem to see some recovery. ( I think ) Saw a doctor and the other day all they've given was an Ant inflammatory. And once the ER, but they didn't give me anything at all or help. I'm hoping I can get better... I'm on day 16 of being sick so far.
I'm so mad at myself and the doctor because I never even needed this drug, they thought I had a UTI when I really didnt. I had to drop out of my summer class because I havent been able to move much.
@@zekenazari6781 No problem! It seems that your story is similar to mine. And Yes, the warning in the back says it can cause nerve issues or even muscle issues.I’ve heard many stories of it causing problems with the legs. I’m glad you’re somewhat recovering! If I’m honest, I think they only gave me the pill because I have really bad anxiety. Plus, I was 19 so they saw me as a “young girl who had her first UTI and is freaking out”. Ended up with the pill and a referral to therapy. I also didn’t sleep for days and it was obvious I was slow because of it. Doctor actually gave me a long talk about life, stress, and all sorts of stuff. Very similar to what my therapist would do. The way they talked to me was as if I was 7 years old. Eh, go figure. I don’t want to say it will fix your issue. I know someone who went to therapy and got medicated for this... it didn’t help them. Every case is different.
And same thing happened to me!! Never had a UTI. This happened to me during summer as well. I was taking a psychology course. If it wasn’t for my ex boyfriend supporting me and my professor being super understanding, I would have dropped it. You should take it easy, though, it seems like your reaction was worse than mine.
I was fortunate to find a female doctor in training who listened to me after I switched. She was more than willing to avoid this awful drug. But because I didn’t have a UTI, she went above and beyond to help me figure out what was wrong. Still in progress of figuring it out, but I have an idea on what it is.
Nevertheless, it’s frustrating knowing that many medicals refuse to see how bad this drug is. My only warning was, “this will make you slightly dizzy”. Definitely not the full picture.
Hope you recover soon. 16 days of this torture sounds awful. I don’t wish this on anyone.
@@zekenazari6781 oh! I forgot to add that most ER won’t take you seriously unless you were showing allergic reactions to the medication. The nurse and doctor pretty much dismissed the idea of the drug being bad. She just told me to eat probiotic yogurt while being on the pill to help with the diarrhea. And again, therapy was suggested to me. I remember her saying she couldn’t count the pill as “bad” either on my records to avoid unless I was allergic to it.

Doesnt ciprofloxacin cause a risk of tendonitis and possible archilles tendon rupture, and photosensitivity reactions, and hepatotoxicity?
and also it can cause fatal insomnia as far as i've seen, saw a video of this one dude who got it for an uti, crazy how its available
@@Josephtheft yeah i just saw it the guy documenting his insomnia till he died its fucked up
Yes it does and a very dangerous reaction if this happens...
it gave me peripheral neuropathy.
I have to take this or other meds will not kill the enfections.
When I pee it burns so badly and the doctor prescribed this as he believed it is either an STD or Bacterial UTI infection.
How did it work now?
Did it help your symptoms?
Acipro can it be use to treat slewing in the body
Didn’t sleep for a year and DIED after taking this for 2 weeks
I was told 5 to 6 days 2 a day 500mg how long will it be out of my system after last dose? 2nd how long before my energy goes up and chills and shivers and being sleepy and lack of energy stops.
If you died how are you here trolling on RUclips?
Welcome back
A doctor gave me two antibiotics to take at the same time : ciprofloxacin & Rifampin. I only have a persistent cough, I do not have pneumonia or UTI, I do not have bones or joints infection either. FDA has warned that this antibiotic can rupture the tendon. No, I stopped taking them.
Do not take this drug. It is pure poison.
Hello Doc, is there any alternative for treating diarrhea?
Also i find strange that one of the side effects is diarrhea, so how do you explain that this med is used to treat that same issue?
Is it okay if I take 250 for breakfast and 250 for lunch? What about taking only 250 mg per day until diarrhea resolves?
Thanks
My doctor gave me Cipro to treat a possible UTI. A lab test didn’t even confirm that I had one. It was just incase. Was that dumb of him to do? I had stomach pain/aches I went to the ER cause I got a little worried snd they told me to stop taking it
Same here, had intense stomach pain that lasted for days, went to the emergency room, they tested my urine and said I possibly had a UTI and gave me ciprofloxacin for seven days. Got the symptoms a month after that again the same treatment. I've taken ciprofloxacin about 6 separate times this year alone. Symptoms disappear for about a month and half then come back. I don't know what to do. Ciprofloxacin is the only thing that works. No pain killers work😢😭
Hi doc. What is the best tablet cipro or levo. Plz guide
This antibiotic has black box warnings!!
As a microbiology laboratory clinician I've seen horrible reactions that lasted for more than a year.
Destroys gut bacteria, tendons and shouldn't be a first line treatment.
Sir this medicine after meal or before meal
Hi Tar Yar,
It is best to take ciprofloxacin after a meal. In general it will lower the users chances on stomach complaints.
Before or after ! Doesn’t matter cuz you’re gonna ruin your life anyways !
Never
what are alternatives to this drug, for a heavy cartilage infection that I feel is moving into my neck or what feels like my head and back muscles or maybe skin.
ask your doctor for proper prescription this drug is not a joke it can disable or kill you literally
doc. does ciprofloxacin can combine with biogesic paracetamol if having a night fever?
Can this be used to treat a ear infection.
Dr i feel dizzy when I take this medicine should I stop it because of my UTI infection i feel very weak please reply now from India
Here’s the answer, if you want to live and not being crippled and in agony and pain for years on end dont take these
Bacterial prostatitis, chronic urethritis, urine culture analyzed, with the name of the bacteria E. coli. Which shade? levofloxacin or ciprofloxacin
NHS states serious side affects happen in less that 1 in 100 people, if its the only things that’s going to cure you then do what the doctor says, after reading the other comments i dont think saying stuff thats gonna scare people or cause anxiety is a good thing, i took cipro for 1.5 months to treat Prostatitis, and i had no side affects, not even nausea, listen to medical professionals but at the end of the day dont take something your not 100% comfortable, i didnt know of the risks when i took it but tbh im glad i didnt otherwise i would have been stressing about it too much
I've got the drug to start a course for the same issue. Don't know what to do
Ciprotec 500mg and Ciprofloxacine are same content or compound? 🧐 thankyou
My father developed bristles hives and swelling all over his face tell me how will it go
same problem here not on face but on my torso
Just started cipro today and am supposed to take two 500 mg pills a day. But after reading the reviews I'm nervous as hell to take 1000 mg in a day so I only took one. Does 500 mg have any effect or is 1000 mg absolutely needed
I’d try and ask your GP for another antibiotic that isn’t cipro, you don’t want to risk some of the side effects this antibiotic can give you
@@attopause1311 was afraid at first but I've been taking 1000 mg a day for about two weeks and so far so good.
@@avratzz well that’s great to hear. I was taking it for 5 days and had no noticeable side effects, I just didn’t want to risk it because it’s rare but you can have prolonged side effects that can appear up to 6 months after you’ve taken it
@@avratzz but as I said it is rare and I’m sure we will both be fine haha
@@attopause1311 i just stopped taking it actually because i just started experiencing a tight feeling in my stomach like indigestion or idk what it could of been but it lasted a few hours then went away but i woke up today and it came back. Yeah I'm done with this stuff heh
I took this drug for a UTI & I was better after 2 days of taking. I guess it affects people differently.
Just beware people can take it a few times and not have any symptoms and then get really sick.
People on here arent freakin doctors but they sure act like they are. Frankly half are looneys
How long did you take it for? I'm scared to take it for my uti because of everything I'm reading here
@@gachahaylee7182 A week! My doctor always prescribes this medication when I get a UTI, don’t be afraid
Can I use the tablet to treat UTI at 1semester
I got this prescribed for 1 week for epididymitis treatment it won’t hurt just for a week right?
don't take it
Hello sir
I am 22 years old and the doctor prescribed ciprofloxacin to me because of abdominal pain. But I read that cirofloxacin is not given to people under 18 years of age because it affects the growth plates of children and adolescents. But I read some articles on the Internet that the growth plates close at the age of 25. Did the medication affect my growth plates? Is it scientifically wrong to say that the growth plates close at the age of 25? My last question: If we assume that ciprofloxacin affected my growth plates, what are the signs that indicate that??? Thanks
this drug is used for last resort only, this drug has a very serious side effects it can make you blind, paralysed, fatal insomnia and more. what kind of doctor that prescribes this drug like it's ordinary.
Dont take it
@@mimiko8577 last resort? 😂😂👌 where do yall come from? There are anti biotics farrr more powerful than cipro. Those are last resort. Not cipro which is widely distributed. You aint a doctor. Stop feeding these poor people nonsense
No doctor should be prescribing ANY sort of antibiotic for abdominal pain, NOT EVER. This is how we get antibiotic resistant bacteria then we die bc the antibiotic won’t work. Flat out. Don’t take it. It’ll kill all bacteria in gut flora and then you’ll have MASSIVE WORSE problems and more pain I bet you.
My doctor prescribed these drugs for Paronychia (left hand middle finger inflammation). Is it normal to prescribe so strong antibiotics in this case ? I am really really really worried about taking these ? Help me PLS!
Can I use Ciprofloxacin to my ear crush after taking amicobal.
Hey doc is it safe to take this. Before bed ?
Just dropped by to hear how it's pronounced correctly
Can Cipro 500mg. 2 times per day eliminate Chlamydia or Gonorrhea?
Do not take it
doctors from certain countries insist you take it not just for UTI like doctors from Russia it as if they don't know of safer or better antibiotics for flu or for UTI is what I seen over years.
Hi doc i just wanted to ask is Ciprofloxacin can use to treat sinusitis and Glozal 5mg i just ask over the counter pharmacist what is best medicine for sinusitis..
Don't take it
wtf hell no sinusitis is not nearly related to this drug please do not take this, I can advise you what to take but it really depends on your body so I say go see a nearest medical professional or a doctor so they can give you a proper treatment. don't use this drug man it can kill you
Thank you Dr❤
is it okay to use lemon while taking Ciprofloxacin Zindolin?

your friend is a terrible doctor.
Im currently taking CIPROFLOXACIN for Ureaplasma parvum and i dnt think its workin. Can i immediately start takin doxycycline for it now? Or do i have to wait til after i finish ciprofloxacin?
My doctor gave me this for the same thing, ureaplasma parvum. Did it work for you? I'm scared
@@javieraibanezr I would recommend doxycycline or azithromycin. Doxycycline worked for me but I had to do a couple of rounds
@@andretti1136 thank you so much
And did you finished the treatment with ciprofloxacin? My doctor gave 7 days of treatment and I'm on my 2nd. But I'm worried by the side effects
@@javieraibanezr did you finish your course and did you have any side effects?
Doc i have completed my two vaccination doses. can I use cifron 500mg after vaccination?
It’s the weekend& my doctor isn’t open. I have a bottle Cipro I didn’t take a month ago for infection (because a test showed I needed a different antibiotic)
Anyways I think I may have a staph spot and I want to know is it safe and effective to take Cipro so it’s not going untreated till Monday.
Don’t take this unless you have literally no other option. Ruined my life could ruin yours too.
