A member asked:

Does ciprofloxacin interfere with ovulation or affect conception? whats the danger of incomplete dosage of ciprofloxacin? does it lead to infertility?

Dr. Lori Semel answered

Specializes in Pediatrics

Not Associated: There is no known reason for cipro (ciprofloxacin) to interfere with ovulation or conception. It is also not associated with infertility. The incomplete dosage could only lead to the issue you are being treated for not resolving. You did not clarify what it was being given for.
