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.

since I have been taking this med I have had severe chest pain and pain across my shoulder blades and I stopped taking it lasdt night, still having pains, calling Dr today I hate this med. Will never take it again. I am also on meds for a mini stroke I had last year. I had another med that made me feel this way too and quit taking it about a year ago.

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.

Wow, I only came on here to see the name of the medication.....and I am really surprised that every review is bad. I am afraid to say that I have none of the problems everyone is complaining about and it has helped my UTI. Weird. And I don't necessarily eat when I take it. I take only 1 in the morning and 1 at night (100myl) for 5 days. I am almost done with them.

THIS MED. WAS A COMPLETE WASTE FOR ME TO TAKE! I HAD SEVERAL OF THE SIDE EFFECTS AND GOT NO RELIEF FROM THE INFECTION AFTER 5 DAYS. IT GAVE ME STOMACH PROBLEMS, A HEADACHE, BLURRY VISION, AND I WAS ON THE TOILET ABOUT EVERY 1/2 HR. I WOULD NOT RECOMEND THIS MEDICATION TO ANYONE THAT I LIKED

This medicine was horrible. I have never had a bad reaction to any medicine I've ever taken till now. They say take with food. They're not kidding. If I didn't have a few bites of food in me before taking this pill I would immediately feel queasy and faint. Awful awful medicine. I will never take this again.
