A member asked:
How long after a two week course of cipro (ciprofloxacin) can i take a psa test?

Wait: If you were taking the medicine for prostatitis, think about foregoing the psa this year altogether. It's a screening test and just how useful it is in saving lives is "currently under review." the most important thing is getting you well.

No limit: In general, Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is an antibiotic that is used to treat an infection (often in the bladder, but can be used for prostate disease too). Psa test may be falsely elevated due to an underlying infection, which causes the cells to rupture or breakdown, releasing psa into the serum. So, maybe wait until the infection is gone (not directly related to cipro).
