A member asked:
I'm currently under treatment for chronic prostatits. i have to take medicine for 4 weeks. can i do exercise or have sex with the treatment? it is ok?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Sports and FQ's: Sex should be okay, but exercise may require a bit of cautiousness if you are being treated with flourquinolones (fq) such as cipro (ciprofloxacin). Fq's deposit into tendons, rendering them weak during the course of treatment and there may be slightly increased risk of a muscular/tendon injury while on this class of medications.
