    I was subscribed this after getting an infection from a stray cat bite and scratch. My armpit Lymph node swelled up like a golf ball. So the Dr. Prescribed me this. 1 every 12 hours. I’m on the 6th pill out of 10. So far the only thing I’ve experienced is a little soreness in the shoulder joints. I’m a 44 year old male who normally has been working out 3 days a week since high school. But because of the warning of tendon rupture and my swollen lymph node. I decided not to work out at all until my body is completely healed from this mess. Great information on this video!!

      Trust me, I avoid taking it as much as possible. Lately, I've been toughing it out and not taking anything. Statistically, some cases of UTI can actually go away by themselves. I just try to flush my system out with tons of fluids and ramp up my vitamin C intake. I've had symptoms of UTI twice already recently and instead of running to the doctor, I just did that and recovered surprisingly.@@martinjason8466

    15 years ago I had a bad case of prostate infection. It was so tight I could not pee at all.
    Ended up in ER. They put in catheter to empty my super extended bladder. I was sent home with catheter line tied to my lower leg going into plastic bag. They prescribed CIPRO for for 10 days. I did not bother reading paperwork that came with it. I trusted my urologist. My infection got better but I did have weird side effects. Page forward to 2023. I felt I had UTI. Urologist took the urine sample and said that I did have infection. He also put me on CIPRO. Went to my pharmacy to get it and the only thing pharmacist tole me was to stay away from direct sunlight. I read 8 pages of paperwork that was included listing all the possible side effects. t read like a horror story of the worst kind...8 pages !!! One of the ingredients is Polyethylene Glycol commonly found in antifreeze (coolant for your car) which is deadly if ingested by people or animals. If this is the best science can do, I'll go to a witch doctor. Why was this drug authorized?

    Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic medication that can have side effects, just like any other medication. Some common side effects of ciprofloxacin include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, dizziness, and abdominal pain. More serious side effects can occur, such as allergic reactions, seizures, tendon damage, and nerve damage. It is important to speak with a healthcare provider if you are experiencing any side effects or have concerns about taking ciprofloxacin.

I told the doctor about my concern of the medicine but he insisted i continue giving her the pills . No way am i giving her those pills!

    Thanks, doc. Good info. I started this medication 2 weeks ago for a duration of 3 weeks due to an infection, which seems to me to be mild. My doctor found an elevation in my PSA number. I have felt a little nausea in my morning dose. I don't eat in the morning but wasn't advised otherwise by the urologist. Also, I do have a physical job and have felt some pain on the inside of my forearm to my elbow. I did have therapy for epicondylitis a year ago. Maybe the cipro brought that back.

But today I seemed to have relapsed. If I take precautions to prevent further flare-ups and continue taking the drug as prescribed will my symptoms improve again?

    • @HealthRX
      @HealthRX  Год назад +1

      Sorry to hear about your condition. As you can imagine, I cannot say much, not knowing the details. I would however encourage you to take the Cipro as prescribed. This will prevent a scenario where you develop chronic prostatitis. The idea is that, once the infection is taken care off, the flare ups will also resolve. It is possible that the “job” is not yet done, hence the flare ups.
      With that said, it will be a good idea to let the doctor know of the flare ups. Unfortunately some acute cases of prostatitis may require some IV antibiotics. Also, if there is any pain the doctor can advise on pain relievers that are appropriate for you. Wish you all the best.

    Ciprofloxacin? Ha don’t even get me started on this antibiotic that ruined my life. Let me tell you I was on this antibiotic for maybe couple days. Listen this antibiotic does something to your brain. I have never been the same after. It made me paranoia. It made me hallucinate. It gave me tinnitus. It made me hear things that weren’t there. Look if I was supposed to go on I would not finish writing to y’all, but please don’t take this antibiotic. It may not be the same experience for you, but it’s really not a good antibiotic and I don’t wish that pain that I have endured on my worst enemy.Levofloxacin is also the same. My doctor told me to stay away from quinolone antibiotics.

    Run from this drug as fast as you can. Had an allergy reaction and ended up being rushed to the emergency room. Before, my ankles were hurting and affecting my walking. Should be banned and not on the market. I am very, very SERIOUS!
