Talk to your doctor before starting Ciprofloxacin, especially if you have a history of heart problems, seizures, or myasthenia gravis. These conditions can be worsened by the medication.
Inform your doctor about all medications you’re currently taking, including over-the-counter drugs and supplements. Interactions can occur, impacting Ciprofloxacin’s effectiveness or causing side effects.
Avoid sun exposure. Ciprofloxacin can increase your sensitivity to sunlight, leading to sunburn. Use sunscreen with a high SPF and protective clothing.
Drink plenty of water while taking Ciprofloxacin. This helps prevent kidney problems.
Be aware of potential side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and tendon inflammation. Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe or persistent side effects.
Ciprofloxacin may affect your blood sugar levels. Monitor your blood sugar closely, especially if you have diabetes.
Don’t stop taking Ciprofloxacin prematurely, even if you feel better. Complete the entire course of treatment as prescribed by your doctor to ensure the infection is fully eradicated.
