Contact your doctor immediately if you experience severe allergic reactions, such as difficulty breathing, hives, or swelling of your face, lips, tongue, or throat. These are serious and require immediate medical attention.
Persistent or worsening symptoms despite taking Ciprofloxacin for 72 hours warrant a call to your physician. This may indicate the infection isn’t responding to treatment as expected, and alternative therapies might be necessary.
New or worsening symptoms that aren’t typical UTI symptoms, such as high fever (over 101°F or 38.3°C), chills, severe back pain, or bloody urine, require prompt medical evaluation. These could signal a more serious complication.
If you experience tendon pain, especially in your Achilles tendon, stop taking Ciprofloxacin and contact your doctor. This is a known side effect that needs monitoring.
Severe diarrhea, including watery or bloody stools, is a potential sign of Clostridium difficile infection (C. diff), a serious complication of antibiotic use. Seek medical help if this occurs.
Any unusual or concerning symptoms should be reported to your healthcare provider. They can assess your situation and provide appropriate guidance.
