Off and on, over the years, I have been prescribed Cipro for a GI issue. Years ago it was ok, with no side effects. But, now that I am older (70+), I experienced terrible leg pain after taking just one dose. Pain was such that it woke me up out of a sound sleep.
My dr took me off it immediately. If you research the side effects, it is well documented that the drug can cause tendon problems and damage to your nerves (which may be permanent). It is a very effective antibiotic but can be dangerous to certain individuals. This does not mean it won't work for you but be sure to report any side effects to your dr right away.
