A member asked:
Is cipro (ciprofloxacin) contraindicated for anyone over age 60 who exercises?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
No, but...: Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is not contraindicated in people over 60 unless there is a prior history of allergy to this drug class ( quinolones) or a previous adverse reaction to it. But, people over 60 are at higher risk than younger people for tendon rupture with the use of this class of antibiotics.
