A member asked:

Been on cipro (ciprofloxacin) for over two weeks for prostatitis. now have green mucus from a nostril. how is a sinus infection possible on cipro (ciprofloxacin)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Some of the bacteria causing sinusitis may not be sensitive to Cipro (ciprofloxacin) Levaquin would have been better choice.
