Precautions:

• Tendon Health: Ciprofloxacin has been associated with an increased risk of tendonitis and tendon rupture, particularly in older adults, those taking corticosteroids, and those with kidney, heart, or lung transplants. If you experience any signs of tendon pain, swelling, or inflammation, stop taking Cipness and consult your doctor immediately.
• Central Nervous System Effects: Ciprofloxacin may cause central nervous system effects, including seizures, tremors, and confusion. Use caution if you have a history of epilepsy or other neurological conditions.
• Sun Sensitivity: Cipness can increase sensitivity to sunlight, leading to a higher risk of sunburn. Avoid prolonged sun exposure and use sunscreen while taking this medication.
• Drug Interactions: Cipness can interact with various medications, including antacids, vitamin/mineral supplements, and certain other antibiotics. It should not be taken with dairy products alone or with calcium-fortified juices, as they can reduce the effectiveness of ciprofloxacin. Always inform your healthcare provider about all medications and supplements you are taking.
• Pregnancy and Breastfeeding: Cipness is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to potential risks to the developing baby or nursing infant. Consult your healthcare provider if you are pregnant, planning to become pregnant, or breastfeeding.
• Kidney Function: Dose adjustments may be necessary for patients with impaired kidney function, as ciprofloxacin is excreted by the kidneys.
• Driving and Operating Machinery: Cipness may cause dizziness or lightheadedness, so caution is advised when driving or operating heavy machinery until you know how the medication affects you.
• Clostridioides difficile-associated Diarrhea: As with many antibiotics, Cipness may cause Clostridioides difficile-associated diarrhea, a potentially life-threatening condition. Contact your healthcare provider if you develop severe or persistent diarrhea.
