Fortunately I was out of work for a few days and thought I had left the medication at work, and did not get to take the full dose before I found out that many people had lost complete use of their limbs from using this medication. After about a week of not taking the drug, the use of my thumbs came back. I am convinced that if I had continued on the medication, it would have done much more damage. My doctor said, that if 95% of the patients benefit from the medication, it is considered safe and for me it did cure the UTI, but look at the other damage it was about to do. I would never take it again.

After a UA culture, was informed I had enterobacter aerogenes. My Dr prescribed Cipro and it did its job in clearing up the UTI. How it comes about I don't know but thank God for doctors. It works (Cipro) very well, despite the minor side effects.

My doctor prescribed me this drug. This is the first I have ever taking antibiotics or any type medication. During that time i develop this indescribable itch all over my body. soon after that i developed hives, swellings and then lesions all over my body. What was worst, my doctor didn't follow-up with even after I told about my reaction. My skin is ruin, i still have lesions on my skins.

I was only able to take 1, 500mg pill for use of a UTI, leftover. It made me a little sick to my stomach but I felt no UTI symptoms, immediate relief as soon as the pill kicked in. Went to doc today and was prescribed something else, a little disappointed, but the duration and effect of ciprofloxacin was amazing to me.
