After reading all of the scary problems people have had I decided to do a review because I luckily did not have any major side effects. I'm not normally the type to go to the doctor but my UTI was unbearable. It was to the point of keeping me up at night. This medication was wonderful.

After reading all of the scary problems people have had I decided to do a review because I luckily did not have any major side effects. I'm not normally the type to go to the doctor but my UTI was unbearable. It was to the point of keeping me up at night. This medication was wonderful. My UTI cleared up within the first 24 hours of taking the medication. I did have one single leg cramp, but I get these normally when I sleep so it may have had nothing to do with the medication. I did get a little drowsy after taking the medication, but it never lasted long, just a few hours. Although I had minor side effects the outcome of taking this medication far outweighed those. I feel 50 times better and would take it again if necessary.

After 6 days of use I developed a small rash on the back of my rib cage on either side, so I stopped taking the pills. Then a day later I developed a major rash in the genital area - VERY uncomfortable. Not sure if the rash is due to a yeast infection or the antibiotic but I've never had a rash like this before.

I was prescribed a 3 day dose of Cipro 250 mg. Took one pill the end of 1st day and 2nd pill first of next day w/plenty of water. Felt a strain in my achilles tendon and my wrist. Later in the day felt chest pains and took an asprin - I do no have a pre-existing heart condition. Figured I needed to kill the infection so continued taking. After eating I would have a flush feel like I was going ... Show Full Comment

Later in the day felt chest pains and took an asprin - I do no have a pre-existing heart condition. Figured I needed to kill the infection so continued taking. After eating I would have a flush feel like I was going to pass out, chest like pains, went to ER and EKG and blood work showed no signs of a heart attack. 6 weeks later I know I am dealing with a kidney stone and have been on lots of different pain meds. Bloating, not being able to eat, constipation are all present at this time. Dr. wanted to prescribe 500 mg Cipro before my surgery two days from now but I said no way. Will rate the substitute - SMZ-TMP 800 once I complete it. Will not take Cipro again. Did clear the infection for awhile.

Beginning w/day 5 of treatment, I began having anxiety and confusion accompanied w/deepening depression. I have also had trouble sleeping. Today is day 8 and I will be calling the doctor's office. Hopefully 7 days of treatment will be enough. I can't function like this.
