Ciprofloxacin can increase the plasma concentration of ciprofloxacin by several fold. Concomitant administration of ciprofloxacin with warfarin or other oral medications can either reduce the effect of warfarin or prolong the bleeding time of oral medications. Interaction with other medicinal products is unknown. Avoid concomitant administration of ciprofloxacin with warfarin or other oral medications in patients with liver disease. Ciprofloxacin can increase the toxicity of warfarin. Therefore, patients should be informed about this possibility and regularly monitored. In clinical trials, the benefits of using ciprofloxacin when co-administered with radiocontrolled drugs were reported in geriatric patients, in whom elderly patients were commonly treated with ciprofloxacin. There is no clinically clinically indicated dose of ciprofloxacin for the treatment of bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, bone and joint, skin and soft tissue. Therefore, patients should be aware of this potential increase in toxicity and risk of QT interval prolongation. There is no clinically indicated dose of ciprofloxacin for the treatment of bacterial infections of the respiratory tract, urinary tract, bone and joint, skin and soft tissue.

Talk to your health care provider if these mild reactions do not go away within a few days.
Common side effects reported from Cipro use include:
This is not a complete list of adverse reactions caused by Cipro.Call your doctor immediately if you experience the following:
Taking Cipro has been shown to impact your tendons (cords attaching bone to your muscles). It can increase your risk of developing tendonitis or a tendon rupture, especially if you’re over 60, taking steroid medications, or have a history of tendon problems.
Cipro can interact with other medications and substances, causing potentially serious side effects or allergic reactions. Tell your doctor if you are taking muscle relaxers such as tizanidine (Zanaflex), phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors such as sildenafil, anticoagulants (blood thinners), antidepressants, antipsychotics, diuretics, insulin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen.
This is not a complete list of Cipro drug interactions, so discuss any medications you’re on, even if you don’t see them listed here. Cipro can cause low blood sugar in some patients. Be wary of low blood pressure symptoms such as blurred vision, fatigue, confusion, pale skin, and cold sweats. Watch for these adverse effects if you have diabetes, and take diabetes medication orally. These could be signs of hypoglycemia and could lead to unconsciousness.
The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found that, while rare, fluoroquinolone antibiotics like Cipro can increase the occurrence of severe ruptures or tears in your aorta (a large artery that begins in the heart). These ruptures can lead to dangerous aortic bleeding, a heart attack, or even death, so people at risk for cardiac problems should be cautious about taking Cipro.
Be sure to tell your doctor if you have been diagnosed with or have a history of other medical conditions, including a prolonged QT interval (a rare heart problem that may cause an irregular heartbeat, fainting, or sudden death), aneurysms, kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, myasthenia gravis (severe muscle weakness), seizures, or diabetes. Cipro can also significantly increase theophylline levels in your blood, leading to serious illness or death. This is not a comprehensive list of medical conditions that Cipro may affect, so speak with your doctor about your medical history before taking Cipro.
Cipro can cause your skin to become sensitive to sunlight or ultraviolet light, so try to avoid unnecessary sun exposure and do your best to wear protective clothing, sunglasses, or sunscreen that is SPF 15 or higher. Call your doctor if you notice redness, swelling, or blistering from sun exposure while on Cipro.
As with all prescription medication, inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been diagnosed with and any medications or supplements you currently take before starting treatment. Antacids can reduce the amount of Cipro that your body absorbs, so be sure to take them at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking antacid medications.
In addition, let your doctor know if you are breastfeeding, pregnant, or planning on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with this medication.
What is Cipro? Cipro is a prescription medication that was first approved by the FDA in 1996.Ciprofloxacin is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including:
Ciprofloxacin is available in several forms, including tablets, capsules, and suspensions.
Ciprofloxacin is contraindicated in patients with hypersensitivity to ciprofloxacin or any other fluoroquinolone component. Ciprofloxacin can cause QT prolongation (a heart rhythm problem). Therefore, it is very important to inform your doctor if you have a history of QT prolongation.
In addition, ciprofloxacin should not be administered to children and adolescents below 18 years of age.
Ciprofloxacin is available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, and suspensions.
As with any antibiotic, there may be side effects in some individuals.
