Kenneth Bayer the makers of cipro have sent out a letter stating that cipro should only been given as a life or death options .They say not to use for UTI or sinus infections . There are other antibiotics to take.Really if you have no infection then why take any

      I had versions of it four times and each time it gave me tendonitis before I realised the cause.

    Urologists love to over prescribe cipro. Been floxed before. Want to read more about it go to the UTI posts.

      Gave it to me to prevent infection from all the tests. ( Urodynamics, scope, surgery, another scope). Had no idea the side effects. It worked except after surgery. I got a infection. Not sure if I was given a resistant infection or the amount of cipro given made it ineffective. I can tell you that I actually still test positive for it and it's been a year. I was swabbed last week and it still shows up. I am on what they call the isolation list. My file is red flagged. I don't even have to tell them. They know when they look me up. Everyone has to glove and gown up. I get a private room.
