A member asked:

How long would it take for a ciproflaxin (antibiotic) allergy to take place if you had one?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Immediately !: An allergy and a side effect are not the same. It may take several doses to cause nausea and vomiting . An allergic reaction such as face swelling and shortness of breath takes only one pill to cause your already primed immune system react violently.
