Side effects: Ciprofloxacin is a commonly prescribed antibiotic and generally well tolerated. I frequently prescribe this medicine and consider it safe. I would prescribe it for myself or family if needed :) Medications all may cause side effects, most of which are extremely rare.

Yes: Ciprofloxacin is generally well tolerated and commonly prescribed to adults for urinary tract infections. Side effects are rare. There are side effects to all medications. If you experience any side effects that are not tolerable, stop the medication and consult your MD immediately.
