A member asked:
Can ciprofloxacin cause weakness in arm with some occasional twitching? is that permanent?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Neurologic effects: Cipro and other fluoroquinolone antibiotics CAN cause neurological side effects - depending on dose, duration, patient age and other factors. I would say it's VERY IMPORTANT to let the doctor know who prescribed these antibiotics. To me, this seems like something serious - so I would not waste any time. Hopefully these side effects are temporary, let's get it evaluated properly.
