A member asked:
On antibiotics ciprofloxacin 500mg twice a day for 10 days to treat prostatitis. will this medicine cover stds, if there is any?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not reliable: Ciprofloxacin is not recommended for any STD. It would often cover gonorrhea, but not always. It is ineffective against chlamydia. Also ineffective against syphilis, and no antibiotic works for herpes -- but these don't cause prostatitis-like symptoms.
