Damn i am on cipro right now, i only take one more tablet tonight so it is probably too late for me. I got a call friday late afternoon from my surgeons office saying my pre ops came back with a urinary tract infection. so they had called in cipro which didn't ring a bell with me until just now when i was researching how bad it would be if i went to the beach. Then i saw it was in this category. I only had it prescribed for 3 days and pray i do not get these problems .I also read it can cause tendon rupture up to many months after you stop taking it. Especially if you are taking steroids, which i am taking a replacement dose of cortisol as i have adrenal insufficiency. Just my luck.,
Judy
