A member asked:

Day 4/7 1000mg cipro (cipro (ciprofloxacin)floxacin) for epidydimitis. read some horror stories of neuropathy/tendonitis from cipro (ciprofloxacin) - should i worry? warning signs? exercise?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

No exercise.: Cipro (ciprofloxacin) interferes with human DNA gyrase in maintaining tendon integrity and potentially rupture a tendon.As a matter of interest this occurs more in animals,like dogs.I would wait 3 weeks after completion of antibiotic therapy to help any weakened tendons to strengthen.Then you can be unleashed!(to exercise). believe the neuropathy comes from a different mechanism.
