A member asked:

I have been prescribe cipro (ciprofloxacin) for a uti and i just got my period. is it okay to take midol while on these antibiotics? please let me know asap!

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes.: Yes: just be certain to take your Cipro (ciprofloxacin) as rx'd with just water - fluoroquinolones need to be taken only with water, and not within 2 hours of food/supplements/minerals (especially Zn++/Mg++/Ca++/Fe++).
