A member asked:

I am allergic to tetracycline can i take cipro (ciprofloxacin)?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes: Tetracycline and Cipro (ciprofloxacin) are in different drug classes. Cipro (ciprofloxacin) is a quinolone agent and is unrelated to tetracycline. You cannot take Doxycycline if you are allergic to tetracycline.
