A member asked:
I was diagnosed with prostatitis. i was prescribed cipro (ciprofloxacin) (42 ct) & flomax (21 ct). how long does it take for the medicine to start working?

1-2 weeks, but...: Should start to improve in 1-2 wk. But there are a few kinds of prostatitis. The most common isn't caused by any known infection. Antibiotics are often tried but may not help. True prostatitis is rare at age 22. Make sure your doctor understands the difference between prostatitis and nongonococcal urethritis, which is an STD. If NGU, cipro (ciprofloxacin) is a poor choice, and your partner(s) also need treatment.
