Accepted Answer

The SGOT/SGPT tests: Now usually called ast/alt are related to liver cell injury.  Bilirubin  elevation, however, reflects cholestatic processes, so it can go up when the others go down.  Alkaline phosphatase also probably very high?

Question 2

cipro (ciprofloxacin) how long to leave system?

Accepted Answer

12-24 hours : The half life of Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is around 12 hours ... After 24 hours most of  the medication will be metabolized ...

Question 3

i got hives, body aches and chills from cipro (ciprofloxacin) and metronidazole. how long until they leave your system if you have taken them for a week?

Accepted Answer

Few days: For most medication allergies when the drug was taken by mouth, the reaction such as hives will begin to improve after 48-72 hours.  Drug with long half-lives (slow to clear from the system) which are usually taken once a day it may take a few more days.

Question 4

how come cipro helps me for sinus infection but levaquin never does? my immune system is weak and i need to take several rounds of antibiotics to kill the sinus infection. why do sinus infections take several weeks of treatment to kill the bacteria?

Accepted Answer

Sinusitis: See reply to your other question. Maybe just bad luck. Also, many cases of sinutisitis aren't due to bacterial infection, and therefore often no antibiotics are helpful. Treatment aimed at allergy (e.g. antihistamines) and congestion (decongestant pills or spray) often are better. Probably a "weak" immune system isn't the problem. Consider a second ENT opinion, or infectious disease specialist.

Question 5

im home with covid19. dr only gave me tylenol. now congestion is getting worse, have no smell/taste and more fatigued 
i have here cipro clindamycin dexamet and albuterol. what can i take now? i cant leave immunosuppressed. please help

Accepted Answer

Hang tight: Let your doc know about your symptoms. Hydration will be key, smell and taste changes are typical and transient, fatigue is also expected. None of the meds you have enumerated are known to help. Watch your breathing!

Accepted Answer

Yes both are safe: Yes both are safe for the liver.

Question 7

what type of bacteria does cipro (ciprofloxacin) kill? why is it mainly used for? what organ systems is  cipro (ciprofloxacin) used on?

Accepted Answer

Many possibilities: This sounds like you've found someone's medicine and wonder what she or he has. If so, I suggest you ask! Ciprofloxacin is active against a wide range of bacteria to treat many kinds of infection in almost any organ system. Most common probably is urinary tract infection. It isn't usually used for STDs, in case that's on your mind.

Question 8

how long does cipro (ciprofloxacin) stay in your system after you've stopped taking it? i have a uti and only one pill left but i'm not better.

Accepted Answer

See your doctor: If you're not better after taking the cipro, (ciprofloxacin) it could  mean the bacteria is not sensitive to that antibiotic, or there could be something else wrong. You should contact your doctor.
