Question 1

what is the treatment for cipro (ciprofloxacin) overdose?

Accepted Answer

None: Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is an antibiotic, so there really isn't a true antidote. Most prescriptions don't really have that much in them to overdose on, so if you took a couple extra you should be fine. If it's more a matter of a toddler getting into a bottle of it and taking a few thousand milligrams, i'd call poison control immediately and follow their direction.

Question 7

can  cipro treat. tricomonas ?

Accepted Answer

Nope: Ciprofloxacin has absolutely no effect against trichomonas, which must be treated with either metronidazole or tindazole. If you think you have trich, discuss with doctor; if diagnosis uncertain. you need testing for it. Other STDs often go along with trich, so be sure you're tested for gonorrhea and chlamydia as well. For sure no cipro, which could make STD diagnosis inaccurate. Good luck!
