Question : Does Ciprofloxacin cure trichomoniasis?
Brief Answer:
No, it does not
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for using HCM to post your health query.
I read carefully your question.
No, ciprofloxacin does not cure trichomoniasis, because ciprofloxacine it is a antibiotic which cures bacterial infections while Trichomonas it is a parasite.
On the other side though, please note that urinary tract infections are treated with ciprofloxacin, so maybe your doctor has given to you this prescription to cure a urinary tract infection.
Keep in mind to drink plenty of fluids..it is very important.
Hope this is helpful.
Let me know if you need more clarifications.
Regards,
Dr. Papaqako
