Cipro (ciprofloxacin) has been shown to be effective in the treatment of various bacterial infections in animal studies. However, it is not without its drawbacks. One of the most serious side effects of using ciprofloxacin is skin rashes. This is a severe reaction which requires immediate medical attention. Ciprofloxacin can also cause a severe sensitivity reaction when used with nitrates (medicines used in treatment of angina). Some people who use ciprofloxacin have reported a skin rash, especially of the face and neck. It is important to note that ciprofloxacin should not be given to people with a blood cell count of 10,000 or above, as this can result in an increased risk of thrombosis.
While ciprofloxacin can be considered safe for use in the treatment of bacterial infections, it is not suitable for everyone. It may lead to side effects such as nausea, vomiting, stomach pain and diarrhea. It is also not suitable for people who have certain medical conditions. It is important to mention these conditions to the doctor and contact the appropriate health care provider to determine the best course of treatment.
