Question 1

took cipro then monurol but i still have uti symptoms. cultured for cipro to work. i am allergic to cipro. took tums for nausea. next? rx? uro?

Accepted Answer

UTI: Did you have a urine culture with sensitivities ? Will tell you what your best Abx choice is.

Question 2

i'm taking cipro (ciprofloxacin) and it says not to take with antacids, can i take carafate with cipro (ciprofloxacin)?

Accepted Answer

NOT TOGETHER: Sucrocate(carafate) can bind to Cipro (ciprofloxacin) in the stomch decreasing the amount that is absorped into the blood stream.You should take ciprodose at least4 hours before or 6 hours after taking carafate.

Question 3

what to do if i am taking cipro (ciprofloxacin) 500mg and it says not to take antacids, iron or vitamins, do you think its okay to take nght time sleep aid with this medication?

Accepted Answer

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) &amp; sleep aid?: well, it says no antacids, iron, or vitamins. While you dont specify which sleep aid you take, it's unlikely to contain antacids, iron, or vitamins. To be certain, however, check the label of your sleep aid &amp; obtain the name or active ingredient &amp; ring ur pharmacist and/or MD. Always tell each of ur prescribers all meds ur taking, including over the counter meds/supplements for proper counsel! :)

Question 4

i have been sick for nine days with a four day break after the first four days. stomach pain and fever. my np put me on ciprofloxacin saying it was a stomach virus but antacids give me relief. should i go back to see him?

Accepted Answer

: If you are still having fever after 9 days, you definitely should go back and see your NP.   The antibiotic is not the right one for your current infection and a different one may be needed.   Do a COVID-19 test, too.

Question 5

is it okay to take tums after ibuprofen?

Accepted Answer

: Yes.

Question 6

i feel bloated, full and have no appetite today. is it okay to take tums (calcium carbonate) when i also take metoprolol and lisinipril for high blood pressure?

Accepted Answer

TUMS (calcium carbonate): Hi. I'm confused. You state that you're pregnant. ACE inhibitors shouldn't be used in pregnancy; metoprolol may be OK but is not preferred. TUMS (calcium carbonate) is OK in non-pregnancy taken with lisinopril and metoprolol. However, TUMS (calcium carbonate) is for treating stomach acid or providing calcium. Bloating, satiety, and no appetite don't sound all that suspicious for an acid problem. Please talk with your OB about meds.

Question 7

is it okay to take tylenol (acetaminophen) pm with cipro?

Accepted Answer

No Interaction: Yes.  There is no interaction between those 2 medications.

Question 8

is it okay to take cipro (ciprofloxacin) while on wellbutrin?

Accepted Answer

Drug Interaction: Yes. Of course.  You should realize that your pharmacist at the very least would not have let you leave the pharmacy if this was a problem.

Question 9

is it okay to take cipro (ciprofloxacin) while on wellbutrin, the nurse advised agaisnt it, but the pharmacist said it would be fine?

Accepted Answer

The nurse is wrong: Trust your pharmacist. Trust the physician who prescribed this.  There should be nothing to worry about.

Question 10

is it okay to take cipro with melatonin? i also take zoloft and xanax daily for panic disorder. dr says its fine but im just worried thats a lot of meds in one day?

Accepted Answer

: With this amount of medications in the presence of an SSRI medication like zoloft, I recommend asking your pharmacist to check his/her resources,which are much more extensive than physicians have, and advise you in order to avoid potentially dangerous interactions.
