- Welcome back to How To Medicate and welcome to this video on how and when to use Ciprofloxacin. I already made several videos on different antibiotics and if you are interested you can find those in the playlist here:
• Everything on Antibiot...
Generic name: Ciprofloxacin.
Brand names: Ciloxan, Cipro, Ciproxin and Neofloxin.
Available as: granules for oral suspension, tablets and injections.
How to use it?
Swallow the capsule whole with half a glass of water. Don’t break it, don’t chew on it and don’t take it with milk, because this can make Ciprofloxin less effective.
If you want to use the granules. It’s package consists of a small bottle with dry granules and a larger bottle with liquid. Add the dry granules to the liquid bottle. Close the cap and shake vigorously for 15 seconds. Do not add any extra water or liquid! Lastly measure the right amount/dose exactly with a the measuring spoon.
Duration of treatment?
Usually 3 days to 3 weeks, but it can be up to several months.
It is important that you do not interrupt the treatment and finish it completely.
When to use it?
Ciprofloxacin is used for ”serious” infections caused by micro-organisms sensitive to Ciprofloxacin.
What is the correct dosage?
Always use the dosage and frequency prescribed by your own doctor.
General guideline for adults using capsules or granules: 500-750 mg every 12 hours.
Forgotten a dose?
Does it take less than 4 hours till your next dose? Than skip the dose you missed and take the forgotten dose at the end of your treatment.
What are the side-effects?
Very common (1-10%): nausea, diarrhea.
Common (0,1-1%): dyspepsia, abdominal pain, vomiting, flatulence, headache, dizziness, sleep disturbances, joint pain, fever.
Ciprofloxacin can have serious side effects.
Safety:
You can combine Ciprofloxacin with any type of food and even with alcohol. However it can have some interactions with other drugs. Therefore always ask your prescribing doctor if Ciprofloxacin is safe for you to use.
It is also important you don’t use Ciprofloxacin if you are hypersensitive to fluorchinolonen.
Pregnancy and Lactation:
The usage of Ciprofloxacin while being pregnant or while breastfeeding can be dangerous for your unborn child. Therefore you should not use it and ask your doctor for an other antibiotic.

I can’t believe I took these pills for a whole month as prescribed from my doctor. Took these for prostatitis and developed twitching in my calves and fingers that never happened before I took these. The scariest thing while on these pills was never being able to sleep for more than 4 hours because my body would force itself awake. Thankfully this is gone but I was so anxious.
Definitely would recommend being prescribed some other antibiotic that is safer. These should be like a last resort
I just watched a clip from Mr ballen about a young guys whose Achilles tendons were so tight they felt like they were gonna snap, next day the tendons in his fingers and hands were the same . This lasted for more than three years .. all due to this medication 😞
Here is how you use ciprofloxacin. YOU DON'T!!!
I just started taking this medication a couple of days ago for an intestinal infection, and it's working soooo well. I was severely nauseous and could hardly eat, not to mention loads of other horrible symptoms, and this medication is clearing it up like magic. I'm only on day 3 and my appetite has almost fully come back, which is amazing. I do have a couple of side effects like stomach pain and insomnia, but it's not too terrible. Whenever my stomach starts to hurt, I just lay down and let it pass. Remember to eat well, drink juice (especially grapefruit juice, great for the liver), take probiotics and relaaaax. Especially if you're treating any kind of infection, your pills will be 10 times more effective if you go easy on yourself. Wishing everyone good health :)
Did it get rid of your gastritis?
@@sophine7189 Nope, my gastritis was stress-related. I tackled that later with omeprazole and green tea (works wonders for the body). Cypro helped me to get rid of the infection in my intestines.
@@sophine7189 Please make sure to NOT take it on an empty stomach though.
How is the insomnia now ?
Curious on how your insomnia is as well. A man took ciprofloxican, and got a condition to fatal insomnia.
If you’re reading these comments and are worried because your doctor prescribed them, then please take caution from what you see and hear.I was diagnosed with prostatitis. Doctor prescribed ciprofloxacin. This is my third day taking it. Second day I had a slight headache. But this day my tendons are aching my head is pounding and I feel a little weak. From reading these comments I suggest you only take this when this is your last option. Other than that stay away from this.
Have you ended full course of ciprofloxacin.i am scared cause my doctor prescribed me this medicine for sinusitis.should i eat the medicine😔
@@mofizmofiz9966 did he prescribe it with something?
@@tevo7138 yes.he gave me two type of antibiotics. First one is cefuroxime for seven days.the second one is cipro for 10 days. I am now on sixth day of cefuroxime.
@@tevo7138 do you ended full course of ciprofloxacin. Should i eat the medicine?😔
@@mofizmofiz9966 see how your body reacts to it. Everybody different.I noticed on the third day that my leg muscles was feeling tender
Dank je voor deze geweldige info ! (En je spreekt perfect Engels ! )
Dr. your English is impressive!
Thanks! I trying to improve it.
Agree ! Hij spreekt geweldig Engels ! ⭐️⭐️⭐️
Taking a Fluoroquinolone is like playing russian roulette. Never take this kind of drugs unless is a life or death situation. Look it up, the side effects are real, horrific and permanent
I can attest to that. DO NOT TAKE THEM
Its poison
Is this true? I'm taking it right now for a vaginal infection
@@javieraibanezr I would stop taking that right now. Seriously. Look up Richard Siagian, he passed away from not being able to sleep for over a year from taking ciproflox.
A guy using this died from not being able to sleep for 4 months, doctors have to sedate him and he would sleep only 2 hours in nightmare. He thought he had fatal insomnia and theres a youtube vid about this titled “Man documents fatal insomnia mental breakdown”
I have really learn something today
thank u so much doc your video is so informative..

Hi Janice,

Thanks Doc...Hello from Jamaica 🇯🇲
You are so welcome!
Just bought Ciprofloxacin & was confused about it's dosage. This video really helped me. Thank you👍
Happy to help 👍🏻
@@howtomedicate Hey Doc, do you have any videos on Secnidazole 500 mg tablets? Can it be used to treat diarrhea/stomach pain? It says so on the internet but not sure 😐
What website did you buy it from?
Maybe you didn't listen to the video. Dosage depends on the disease and location...talk to a doctor!
Hi doc. What is the best tablet cipro or levo. Plz guide
Good job Dr
doc. does ciprofloxacin can combine with biogesic paracetamol if having a night fever?
Good video thank you
Please as a 19 year old who’s life changed in just a week for a simple infection in 2020. Don’t take this it is unpredictable and if you have any side effects doctors will not take you seriously.
Im 19 too... Dude I did not even have any infection yet that dumb doctor gave me ciprofloxacin as a precautionary antibiotic for 2 pills a day for 7 days.... On the 4th day I couldn't anymore.. I stopped... Losing one kg a day. ... Muscle weakness... Tendon pain... I even told the doctor as you said he did not take it seriously.... Kept saying those are not related to cipro.... Now I'm ended up with a rib smaller than the other, a leg longer than the other, difficulty in breathing, eating, yellowing of skin.... And please don't ask about my mental health.... Yoga and meditation is helping a lot for the moment.... It's been two weeks.. I wonder what's next... I'm telling ya, Us cipro victims should join and make a video about this shit.... This has to 🛑
@@kareenagopaul8061 are you okay now? I will pray for your health. Btw are you indian?
@@ayushi3243 hi..... Not really... I'm trying to get along with this new normal.... And my mental health is still not OK... But I'm trying to live with it... Yes I'm kind of Indian... I'm Mauritian and my ancestors were from India (50% of the Mauritian population ancestors came from India )
Thank you for praying dear... Did you also have bad experiences with cipro?
@@kareenagopaul8061I am medical student. just my curiousity lead me to search about this medicine. I never took it. Btw can you tell me your experience with this medicine. btw thank you for your reply. And I hope you get well soon. God bless you
@@ayushi3243 Hi sorry for late respond ... So I went to the doctor because I had a pain on my lower right belly, constipation and frequent urination.. .. There he did a fast urine test which was negative.... Asked whether I had fever, blood in urine, diarrhea, burning urine and I said no because I didn't have any of that..... He said that I'll have to do an echography... I did it and they noticed a mild fullness in my right kidney.... Now that doctor said that he will prescribe me antibiotics as a "precautionary measure" because according to him my right kidney took more time to dislodge water and he THOUGHT that I might be having a urinary tract infection which he thinks might be affecting my right kidney...he prescribed me ciprofloxacin for 7 days per 12 hours and said that I will eventually have to go to an urologist and do a blood test if the pain persists.... I didn't know much about antibiotics at that time so I took it.... The first day I took it, I had insomnia, my right ribcage and my knees pained and even told the doctor about it but he said that it's not related and to continue... He said that even when you take dolipran you get pain in knees so it's nothing.... Yeah so to me at that time my respond was like he's a doctor, so he should know his work... I trusted and continued on taking the pills... The more I was taking the pills the more I felt weak, I had muscle weakness, my joints pained, my bones were shrinking and I was literally loosing 1kg a day..... On the fourth day, I couldn't anymore, I told my dad to call the doctor about it... Still his response was the same..."its nothing and continue on... Even when you take dolipran you get muscle pain and blabla" .... Then I told him that my left side of the rib was also paining... Then he said to stop and to go to the urologist... 2 days after I stopped the antibiotic, I noticed that my right leg became longer that my left and my right rib shrank(idk it's whether my right kidney took more time to dislodge cipro that's why my right side of my body deformed... Do you think it's this?)... I got randez vous with the urologist 4 days after I stopped the pills.... I went to the urologist and there seeing my echography results, he said that the bulge in my right kidney was very mild and it was nothing to worry about. He also said that the antibiotic was unessasary.... I went back to that generalist doctor who prescribed me cipro because I needed answers. Again he was like no it's totally fine to prescribe cipro as a precautionary antibiotic... I told him that I read on the net that cipro damages the kidney more and he was like "penicillin affects the livers so when you have throat pain we don't prescrib you penicillin"... He refused admit that he shitted.... Meanwhile I was getting insomia, thoughts running like crazy at night, my head pained, I had difficulty remembering and my eyes and skin turned yellow and my bones on my right feet swelled. I went to a bone doctor and again there he told me that the antibiotic was an over treatment.... He said that if the doctor was really that worried about the bulge, the least he could do was doing another echography one week later to see whether the bulge increased or onot and definitely not prescribe antibiotic..... 2months passed..now I get difficulty breathing, I still get insomia, my bones pain, right side of my head and right eye continually pain, I forget stuffs a lot, vertigo while doing yoga, loosing hair, muscle pain, tendon pain, back pain like hell, eyes, skin yellow and poop pale brown... I'm just 19 years old and it's frustrating for me to see all of that changes overnight... I was doing just good and look at me now.... And the worse is that many many many doctors here... Even the specialist don't know about the adverse effects of fluroquinolene drugs... So when I tell them about my side effects and my experience on this antibiotic, they either shut me off saying I'm overthinking or they say that I'm reading too much on the internet... if I want to go get imaging done to see if somethings ruined inside, I don't have the support of neither doctors nor my parents and I don't have my own money to do it. So I have to wait for end stages for steps to be taken... To end, I want to request you that someday when you become a doctor, please think 10 thousand times before prescribing your patients fluroquinolenes because this shit is seriously changing lives in a bad way right here...
Can cipro be used for dacroysititis infectioon

Please contact me. I need to know your secret to regain healthy sleep!!
Did the drugs just make you stay awake or did you have pain that lead to your insomnia?
after 3 years I am 95% better now. It had something to do with my nerve being effected by this drug preventing me from sleeping.

Watching this whole the medicine is on my hand. Reading the comments made me hesitate to take it. Damn!I already had anxiety and I don't want to add more when drinking this.
I’ve been treated for salmonella with ciproxacin. But it’s giving a lot of nausea. I took it with an empty stomach but I already ate and I feel so nauseous.
Any advice?

@@AA-hj8er do you ended the medicine. My doctor also prescribed me cipro for sinusitis. Do you had any side affect.
It’s the weekend& my doctor isn’t open. I have a bottle Cipro I didn’t take a month ago for infection (because a test showed I needed a different antibiotic)
Anyways I think I may have a staph spot and I want to know is it safe and effective to take Cipro so it’s not going untreated till Monday.

Hello Doc, is there any alternative for treating diarrhea?
Also i find strange that one of the side effects is diarrhea, so how do you explain that this med is used to treat that same issue?
Is it okay if I take 250 for breakfast and 250 for lunch? What about taking only 250 mg per day until diarrhea resolves?
Thanks
Shouldyou used this medication for uti? I can barely sleep and eat because of it. My doctor prescribed Ciprofloxacin and Metronidazole to take at the same time. Which he wanted me to take the Metro 3 times a day and Cipro two times a day. It's my 4th day taking them and I can see improvement on my uti but the medication just making me feel worse. If I would take both of those pills like I would supposed to, I would be ingesting 2,500mg of antibiotics (which sounds really bad).
did you get any side effects?
Thanks for the information.
With time I have developed side effects with this medicine like nausea etc. Avoid it, until do or die condition. This is the case with most of the antibiotics. I was wondering why i was totally fine with most of the antibiotics earlier but developed side effects (mostly nausea and giddiness) since past 2-3 yrs??
Hi Simplified,
That is a hard question to answer. It could depend on many factors. So I don't really know, however this is a common. A lot of people experience this.

your friend is a terrible doctor.
I was put on this for UTI and took it for a week. I have been off the pills for almost 3 weeks now and have been suffering awful side effects everyday since. I didn’t realize how damaging this medication was and my doctor nor pharmacist warned me of anything. I’m terrified I will never get better.
what was your side effects.
What happened?
My last dose was 11 mos ago. Still have some side effects but lots of prayer and diet modification has helped. I read the pamphlet supplied with Rx and did research but no warnings from physician. I will do my best to avoid but am now allergic to Penicillin due to massive doses as premed for dental appointments (this protocol now discontinued).
did you get medicine insert leaflet while purchasing this poison?
I was prescribed to take it for 3 days...barely got through 2 days...so glad I didn't take anymore of it. My legs wouldn't move and I fell and fractured my ankle and foot. I'm going to have it put on record to NEVER give to me again because it's dangerous. I'm still praying I get back to walking pain-free again soon.
Doctor can it also cure siphilis
Is it common to cause slight sharp pains in the lower stomach and bowel area for nearly an hour then go away?
Same happened to me
no it's not stop using this drug immediately and go out seek real medical advise from a real doctor, do not rely on youtube or online doctors they can't check your body virtually.

Hi doc i just wanted to ask is Ciprofloxacin can use to treat sinusitis and Glozal 5mg i just ask over the counter pharmacist what is best medicine for sinusitis..

Is ciprofloxacin-dexamethasone supposed to hurt?!
Yes. It’s a poision killing xour nerves. Some people got blind of it and some of them died!
This medication made the doctors think I had ra at 27 with horrible anxiety and nightmares that I still have.. I had to relearn how to swim and run thanks to this medication. ER said I had no active infection that the walk in clinic said I have so turns out I didn't need to take it in the first place. Unless it's life threatening or no other medication works this should not be first line medication like it was used for me. Medication literally stole my 20s... I had to relearn to take medication also because it gave me an extreme phobia to all drugs even otc ones that I used to take everyday.

Is it good for epidimities inflammations?
It’s not good for anything unless you want to have crippling medical problems for the rest of your life after using. It’s good for that.
What about tendinitis? You didn't mention that?
Sir this medicine after meal or before meal
Hi Tar Yar,
It is best to take ciprofloxacin after a meal. In general it will lower the users chances on stomach complaints.
Before or after ! Doesn’t matter cuz you’re gonna ruin your life anyways !
Never
NEVER EVER use that damn POISON!
I really think this guy isnt even a doctor just a fake character
How’s that shit legal?

taking this for a severe uti and probably kindey infection . im scared for the side effects but i trust it will help me...
Side effects are wayyyyy less than the side effects I got from another antibiotic that treats the same bacteria, It just made me sick so I couldn’t take my full dose.
Did you finish your prescription? For how long did you have to take it?
Bacterial prostatitis, chronic urethritis, urine culture analyzed, with the name of the bacteria E. coli. Which shade? levofloxacin or ciprofloxacin
I have UTI --- my doctor prescribe me ciprofloxacin 500mg, now I am noticing blood in my pee -- is that normal?
what are alternatives to this drug, for a heavy cartilage infection that I feel is moving into my neck or what feels like my head and back muscles or maybe skin.
ask your doctor for proper prescription this drug is not a joke it can disable or kill you literally
Didn’t sleep for a year and DIED after taking this for 2 weeks
I was told 5 to 6 days 2 a day 500mg how long will it be out of my system after last dose? 2nd how long before my energy goes up and chills and shivers and being sleepy and lack of energy stops.
If you died how are you here trolling on TH-cam?
Welcome back
Is ciprofloxacin on capsule?
Very informative. I have a question for my husband who has semen infection and I'm having difficulties to conceive, the doc prescribed ciprofloxacin, will it clear the infection? Please let me know. Thanks
Look up "getting floxxed" online. Lots of people who take this become paralyzed due to the pill destroying their tendons . Stay away from it
@@mattb9528 that's a doctors prescription mate
It's a very effective drug,I was having urinary infection and my symtoms improved significantly after taking it for 48hrs.But dealing with the side effects is scary as hell.I couldn't sleep through out the first day,I later started having zaps in my head,I started feeling like collapsing any moment which made me extremely anxious.I had to discontinue because i couldn't bear the side effects of it,it was like i wasn't living. To be honest like many have opined in the comments section,this drug should be your last option or it should be administered in lesser doses.
Hello how many days you take it before stopping it? 😢 That’s my doctor prescribed to me. I’m scared by the side effects.
I had it for 4 days , it has caused me GERD and forever dizzy .It's been 7 months now since I took it .I'm still suffering .
@caboverdecochise I took it for just 72hrs. If there is an alternative please go for it,this drug should be your last option.The side effects affects almost everyone that takes it,as you can read from the comments.I hope you doing better,sorry I just saw your message now.
@jimmymaputla9859 Sorry about that Man,it's a weird drug and whats most scary is its side effects last almost forever.I wish i did some research before taking it.With all these complaints,I wonder why Doctors still prescribe it.
How many tablet for a day
