    It should be clear when you have finished all the Cipro, yes there are side effects with any drug, call your Doctor if you have any or just to ease your mind, you can also ask your pharmacy.

    If you’ve taken the medicine for 20 days I think you’d have felt any side effects individual to you by now. They aren’t inevitable. I don’t get side effects with the antibiotics I’ve had. You may be lucky like me.

    I took cipro..I was sick..But I found out I was taking 1000mg a day. Which was too much. 250mg twice w day for 7 days is the norm..After keep taking something . But definitely take probiotics for your stomach.
