Taken from another conversation:
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
never taken then dr wanted to give me then for prostatitus
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.
for me it two much of a risk to take after i read side affect
what do you make of cirpo mate
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.
