a question about ciprofloxin--any risks?

Accepted Answer

Various: Ciprofloxacin like most antibiotics has many potential side effects although most patients tolerate them without problems.

Rarely elderly or immunocompromised patients can develop tendonitis or tendon rupture especially of the achilles tendon.  C. Difficile colitis can occur.

Question 9

can i take ciprofloxacin with weed?

Accepted Answer

Not recommended: Marijuana affects the brain, and ciprofloxacin also can cause certain CNS (central nervous system) side effects too. So the combination is not recommended because of the increased chance of an adverse effect. That being said, any effect in a young person would probably be mild. Definitely the elderly are more at risk. Smoking weed may expose you to combustion products in the lungs- that's not good

Accepted Answer

Yes it does: Shelf life is dependant on the date the antibiotic was manufactured and it is printed on the original bottle.
