A member asked:

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) 500 mg 2 x daily for 5 days dangerous for patients with tachycardia and high blood pressure?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Not a problem: Cipro (ciprofloxacin) has no effect on blood pressure or heart rate. Infection, on the other hand, will increase your heart rate and discomfort (from infection) may raise your blood pressure.
