A member asked:
Hello, i have strep throat right now, and i am taking 750 mg of ciprofloxacin every 12 hours. i have severe lower back pain, what does this mean?

Strep throat: I am not certain why you are taking that particular anabiotic for strep throat. It is not first-line therapy. Perhaps there are other reasons that it was prescribed, of which I am not aware. Certainly muscle aches and pains can be associated with that type of antibiotic. My advice would be to call your doctor and advise of the symptoms and consider switching antibiotics.
