Hi l have been prescribed Ciprofloxacin 500g twice a day. They are making me feel terrible, however l have been assure that this is normal whilst taking these tablets. Can anyonewho has been on these tablets tell me how they made them feel?
would really like to hear for someone who is having bad side effects, as im worried about continuing taking them

l took cipro. l did not have any adverse affect. plz you get consult your doctor.

It makes me queezy & l get heart burn.. Make sure u do not take it within 2 hours of taking any antacids, calcium or iron. Do not drink dairy within 2 hours of taking cipro & try to stay out of the heat & sun as much as possible. Taking the cipro makes u burn like there is no tomorrow while in the sun.

l tend to do alright if l stick to those guide lines. l find for me if l set the alarm for an hour or so before l have to get up & take the cipro then & go back to sleep & then take it a few hours before bedtime that l do not notice the side effects that much. Like If u have to be up at 8am then set ur alarm for 6 or 7 & take the cipro & go back to sleep for a couple hours & then later that night take it around 7pm so that ur headed to bed soon.

Good luck l hope it helped
