Mild infection. Took meds for the 7 days prescribed. Cleared infection. 9th day chills & stiff back. 10th days hives. I think this is a delayed reaction. Doing OK now. Will avoid this med in future.

My doctor prescribed me this after kidney and bladder surgery. First couple of days were ok but then I got very nauseated and actually vomited. Even after eating with the pill. I am extremely tired but haven't noticed any headache symptoms like others have mentioned. I took the pill once a day for ten days. I don't think I will be asking for this again. Just didn't like taking it and how I felt afterward.

I have a UTI and was put on this drug before for MS infections for bladder infections. I find it works well and highly recommend it overall.

My doctor is switching me to another treatment due to the side effect of severe and prolonged headache. This is not the first tie I have had that kind of reaction to an oral antibiotic.

I was on cipro for almost 2 weeks and no change in pressure or pain. After a shot and first dose I felt much better. Different people, different bodies.
