"I had to take Cipro for UTI since I had mild to moderate reactions to Macrobid or Bactrim. Will not take again even if it did clear the UTI and I could not take my Crestor or Ibuprofen during the 3-day course and had a mild 'swelling' feeling in the back of the throat which was relieved by Zyrtec. Tell MD of all allergies before taking."

"Both my Mother and husband developed C. diff. after taking Cipro for a urinary infection. Both were over 65 and both had hospital stays after taking that drug. My husband had only taken it for 5 days out of the 10 prescribed. I will never take it."

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) "It works every time, however takes about 3-4 hours to provide relief. The only reason why I don't give it a 10 is because it gives me yeast infections every time."
