Cipro safe to use?

[paulsed1]

Not quite sure if this is the right section for this. Just got prescribed Cipro for a little growth I have on my back that is infected. From what I can tell, it is a pretty widely prescribed anti-biotic, but one warning I was given was the slight possibility of tendon rupture. I do have a bit of tendonitis here and there to begin with. I love to lift heavy. Anyone know anything about this med or have any experience with it? When you google the side effects on the thnig for tendon rupture, sounds like a nightmare. I can't take pennicilin due to being allergic. Any thoughts?

I was in the marketing department for Levaquin. Tendon rupture with Cipro is highly unlikely.

I'm guessing you are taking stuff a lot more dangerous than this antibiotic.

Although it's not a first line choice for skin infections.

Tendon rupture with Cipro is highly unlikely.

Hope that is the case, doesn't seem like there is any other alternative at this point.

I've used ciprp many times and trained hard with no tendon issues.
