When to Contact Your Doctor

Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions, such as difficulty breathing, swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat, or hives. These symptoms require prompt medical attention.

Signs of Tendon Problems

Seek medical advice if you develop pain, swelling, or inflammation in your tendons, particularly in your ankles, wrists, or shoulders. These could be early signs of tendonitis, a potential side effect of Cipro. Don’t delay; early intervention can help manage the condition.

Other Serious Side Effects

Contact your physician at once if you notice any signs of central nervous system effects, including confusion, hallucinations, or seizures. Similarly, report severe diarrhea, which could indicate Clostridium difficile infection (C. diff). Don’t hesitate; these symptoms warrant immediate medical evaluation.

Persistent or Worsening Symptoms

Report any symptoms that don’t improve or worsen after starting Ciprofloxacin. This includes persistent nausea, vomiting, or abdominal pain. Open communication with your doctor ensures proper management of your treatment.
