Ciprofloxacin: There are no significant side-effects or interactions to be expected with the scenario you describe. Cipro (ciprofloxacin) may increase the effects of caffeine if taken together, but alcohol should be benign.

Question 4

how likely is there to be any significant side effects in drinking a glass of wine 10 hours after taking .25 mg ativan (lorazepam)?

None: .25 mg is a very low dose & no interaction is anticipated after 10 hrs of taking wine.

Question 5

i am allergic to sulfa drugs. how likely is it that i'm also allergic to the sulfites in red wine?

Accepted Answer

Sulfa not= sulfite: Sulfonamide drug allergies are not generally predictive of reactions to sulfites. Although they sound similar, the body sees these chemicals quite differently. Sulfa antibiotics easily stimulate the immune system to make specific responses, hence allergies, but most reactions to sulfites are due to it being broken down into sulfur dioxide gas inside the body.

Question 6

molybdenum found in black beans is said to help break down sulfites in e.g. wine. so shall i eat the beans before/after/or during the meal?

Accepted Answer

Sulfite free: wine-available at most health food stores.

Question 7

i am a celiac.drank red wine, have rash.can it be from sulfites?

Accepted Answer

Yes: Many people with or without celiac are sensitive to sulfites.

Question 8

can sulfites found in wines cause gas to smell like eggs?

Accepted Answer

Possible: Play detective as different people metabolize and process certain foods and drink differently.  Alcohol such as beers are definitively known to cause some people to have foul sulfur like (rotten eggs) smelling flatulence.  Wine may be your nemesis.  After a while you will know your trigger foods and can avoid them.

Question 9

good day

ive been using valsartan for hypertension reasons but had to stop because it causes me epididymitis, now i use  atorvastatin and its giving me vivid dreams. is there anything better i can use with less side effects ?

Accepted Answer

Medication : You can speak to a doctor about changing your medication. I remember and a patient who had 20 medications on her allergy list, but when you continue to ask her details about the side effects you come to realize she did not want any medication because she believed that all medication is bad for her.  Sometimes patients express concerns indirectly

Question 10

so she has been getting a steroid injection due to her hs ( hidradenitis suppurativa) is that injection for any chance going to give her any side affects of gaining weight and her period being delayed or any other side effects?

Accepted Answer

: This type of steroid treatment can give a patient an appetite increase. It is not the type of steroid that would interfere with menses. Long term side effects of steroids depend on dosing &amp; frequency and rarely are features of sporadic use.
