Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. Never alter your prescription without consulting them.
Understanding Your Prescription
Cipro 500mg daily usually treats bacterial infections. The duration of treatment varies depending on the infection’s severity and your response. Common treatment lengths range from 7 to 14 days. Your doctor will determine the appropriate duration.
- Take the medication at the same time each day for consistent blood levels. Take Cipro with a full glass of water. This helps prevent stomach upset. Avoid taking Cipro with antacids or dairy products. These can hinder absorption.
Potential Side Effects
Like all medications, Cipro can cause side effects. Common ones include nausea, diarrhea, and headache. Less common but more serious side effects include tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, and allergic reactions.
Report any unusual symptoms to your doctor immediately. This includes severe diarrhea, persistent pain, or skin reactions. Understand the risks. Your doctor will weigh the benefits against potential side effects before prescribing Cipro. Know your medical history. Inform your doctor about any pre-existing conditions, allergies, or medications you are currently taking.
Medication Storage
Store Cipro at room temperature, away from moisture and direct sunlight. Keep it out of reach of children and pets.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Do not double the dose.
