    Thank you for these resources.

    I was given ciprofloxacin for an UTI but read about the side effects after taking one 500mg pill

    I am scared of the side effects now that so many people get them and I will call my doctor tomorrow to ask if I can be put on something else.

    What can I do to prevent side effects? Please I am very scared and I am only 24 I don't want to ruin my life with one pill.
