Scared to take ciprofloxacin because of people who had bad side effects. is this med generally ok?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
YES: side effects are rare and are dose dependent. really rare to have any problems with the 250 mg dosage. still rare on the 500 mg dosage and i have only seen a couple people on the 750 mg dose have side effects. When cipro is taken for 10 days or less 29 yr old males generally have no side effects at all.

Yes: Cipro is an excellent medication but people occasionally have uncomfortable side effects from it. If your doctor has prescribed it, you need to take it as directed. If there are side effects, you can ask him/her for a different antibiotic.
