| Add Cipro review can you take vitamins with cipro My doctor called this in for me after I had had UTI symptoms for 3 days. Thankfully the pharmacist warned me to be careful because it could weaken tendons so I limited my activity. The UTI symptoms went away after the first dose. After 8 days I developed a pain in my ankle and was told to wear an ace ankle wrap, elevate, use ice, & take ibuprofen, all of which helped, but I was still limping ... my doctor prescribed this for me for a suspected bladder infection, I read all the information on this drug and decided NOT to try it, I have a lot of allergies and am very sensitive to a lot of med's. a lot of the side affects of this drug are not reversible, I feel like I dodged a bullet, so glad I read up on all drugs that I sometimes need.. I have not seen my doctor since he prescribed this, a ... rash and welts all over my upper body and inside thighs. red spots up to 12" diameter and welts on both inner arms and on back...within 6 hrs of taking one 500mg. also hard on stomach...but slays the bacteria in the bladder. I'll never take it again. After two days I have developed intense vaginal pain. Waves of recurring pain. | Add Zithromax review After 1-2 day of using Zithromax for a Sinus infection, I started feeling achey, I had diarrhea, I was either too hot or too cold, I felt tired, I felt dehydrated. This started yesterday afternoon(the night before the superbowl!) IT is now 7am the following morning. While I am feeling a bit better, I still feel tired, somewhat achey but not as much, and I am still running to the bathroom. This is the first time Ive experienced this with antibiotics, and this is the first and last time I will use Zithromax. It works against the infection, but causes a whole new slew of problems. So I woke up a day ago with a fever and other symptoms. Doc prescribed 250mg Zithromax. I took the first day and a long with some ibuprofen I felt fine. Woke up today with a fever of 102.3. So either this drug sucks or doctors do DO NOT TAKE THIS MEDICATION WHILE ON SEVERE PAIN MEDS!!!! My wife took this medication for a broncial infection. She was also on Methadone for pain management. The interaction between the two caused her to have a severe heart attack thus killing her. She was only 43 years old!! PLEASE DON'T LET THIS HAPPEN TO YOUR LOVED ONES. | |||
