    You could try E 45 Anti Itch relief Cream. It helped me quite a bit as I did not want to take an antihistamine tablet.

    It is quite expensive.

    If I knew 5 months ago what I  now know about cipro I would not have taken any.I hope I don't get the bad side effects that some people are getting.

      Have u taken any meds since? 

      Keep away from steroids, nsaids and antibiotics would be my plain advice.The above may trigger off a reaction. Magnesium helps to chelate this toxin from the body. 

      ​Steroids are notorious for causing problems if taken with Cipro and/or other flq . Try not to worry. Keep to a healthy diet, exercise, avoid alcohol, and any additives. I would take Vitamin B12 and Bco as well as Vitamin D3.

      I soak my feet and ankles in apple cider vinegar and water.It is helping with the itching.

      Thank you Harriet and Derek for the advice.I found baking soda works better than apple cider vinegar for itching.

      Hi I would never try apple cider vinegar for anything especially itching !!!!. How do you apply the baking soda? Presume you add water then apply. Where is the itching?

      The itching is on my feet and lower legs.I soak my feet and ankles in water with baking soda.I think I will not take showers for the next two weeks and just wash were I don't itch.after that I will take showers in cooler water.
