Cipro Reviews: What are patients saying about Cipro?
5Patient Review
1/11/2020 So far, so good! I'm on day three of a five-day prescription of 500 mg tabs, and I haven't experienced any negative side effects. If anything, this medication has given me more energy and made me feel better overall.
2.7Patient Review
8/31/2019 I didn't like this antibiotic because it gave me anxiety, which is a pretty rare side effect.
2Patient Review
4/16/2020 I'm on day three of the treatment, and I'm experiencing some upper back pain. Sometimes I feel dizzy, so I'm not sure if I should continue taking it.
1.7Patient Review
8/9/2019 Diverticulitis pain was helped when Flagyl was combined with this medication. However, I experienced the worst diarrhea ever after just a few days. If you are considering this treatment, be aware of the possible side effects.
1.7Patient Review
8/9/2019 In short, this medication created more problems than it solved. I would not recommend it to anyone.
1.7Patient Review
9/7/2022 Cipro gave me terrible side effects that have lingered long after I stopped taking the medication. Avoid this antibiotic if you can help it; in my opinion, it shouldn't be on the market.
1.3Patient Review
2/3/2022 This was an awful experience. I felt intense anxiety, and my kidney function lowered significantly. Not to mention the fluid retention, lightheadedness, and inflammation in my tendons and tissues. Oh, and my feet were on fire the whole time. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of this treatment option.
1Patient Review
9/5/2021 I would not recommend this drug to anyone. I have permanent damage from taking it, and it was originally developed as a chemotherapy treatment!
1Patient Review
9/12/2022 I had a very bad reaction to this medication. An hour after taking it, I woke up in an ambulance. I couldn't think or speak clearly, and my wife thought I was dying. Needless to say, I will never take this again.
1Patient Review
2/17/2021 I got diarrhea, bad belching and gas, and a bloating stomach that lasted a week. I stopped taking the medicine after the first week because the pain was too much to handle.
