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.

This medication is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections in adults and children including urinary tract infections (UTIs), lower respiratory tract infections (LVLT-nts), and certain gastrointestinal infections. It may also be used to treat the early signs of illness such as diarrhea. This medication does not work for viral infections such as the common cold or flu. -
Viral infections may cause diarrhea, although it does not affect your immune system. This diarrhea will usually be mild to moderate and help to decrease the severity of your infection. Diarrhea will usually not affect your healthcare provider unless it is accompanied by fever and a light-headed feeling. A severe diarrhea will not be tolerated by most people and can cause permanent damage to your intestine. This medication should not be used by people who have or have had a liver disease.
Lower respiratory tract infections, intestinal infections, middle-stage breast cancer, prostate cancer, and high blood pressure may all cause low levels of magnesium or vitamin B12 in the body. These infections may be accompanied by a feeling of bloating, diarrhea, and vomiting. These symptoms should be treated before expecting a meal or snack because they may be caused by a viral infection. - In levodopa-induced diarrhea caused by the bacteria Neisseria meningitidis. This bacterial infection causes the bacteria to produce enzymes called ferroptins. These enzymes allow the bacteria to travel to the sites of the intestinal infection and cause the infection. - In severe dehydration, this medication can cause a severe intestinal illness called Stevens-Johnson Syndrome (SJS). This syndrome is a combination of symptoms, characterized by fever, chills, and sweats along with easy bruising and bleeding. - In rare cases, low levels of magnesium or vitamin B12 can cause low magnesium levels in the body. This can cause you to feel extremely tired, weak, confused, and confused with confusion, drowsiness, dizziness, and/or weakness. You should contact your doctor right away if you notice any of these symptoms. - In severe allergic reactions, a skin rash, or a severe blisters or peeling of the skin, which can be accompanied by severe breathing difficulties, hives, or swelling, should be treated before you have any tests to determine the cause of your infection. - In severe cases of pneumonia, in some cases in the face and/or chest, in patients with a history of peeling or blistering of the skin, in children with a history of peeling or blistering of the skin, in patients with a history of blistering of the skin, in severe cases of cirrhosis, and in patients with a history of blistering of the skin.
This medication should not be used in cases in which the following conditions apply to it that would make it more effective: - Kidney disease - -In conditions such as diabetes, high blood pressure, or heart failure -In conditions such as infections in the nose, throat, or lungs -In conditions such as inflammation of the lining of the nose, throat, or lungs -In conditions such as pneumonia, where the infection is treated early on. -In conditions such as inflammation of the lining of the nose, throat, or lungs -In conditions such as pneumonia, where the infection is treated early on.
Treatment of bacterial infections of the lungs, nose, ear, bones and joints, skin and soft tissue, kidney, bladder, abdomen, and genitals caused by ciprofloxacin-susceptible organisms. Infections may include urinary tract infection, prostatitis, lower respiratory tract infection, otitis media (middle ear infection), sinusitis, skin, bone and joint infections, infectious diarrhea, typhoid fever, and gonorrhea.
May be taken with or without food. May be taken w/ meals to minimise GI discomfort. Do not take w/ antacids, Fe or dairy products.

Quinolones
Use on mares only.Route:MedsGoGeneric:Brand name :OfloxacinImidazopyridineNon-Brand name : : : : :Ciprofloxacin can enhance the risk of QT prolongation, potentially leading to renal impairment. As with many other quinolones, Ciprofloxacin interacts with certain heart and blood vessel tissues, especially affecting myelin oligodcdionterase, causing an increased susceptibility to demyelination. Ciprofloxacin may enhance the interaction between the gut and the brain, potentially leading to confusion and severe neurological effects.
