Brief Answer:
Ciprofloxacin can be taken along with medications you are currently taking

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thank you for trusting HealthcareMagic for your health concern

I have gone through your medication list and ciprofloxacin can be taken safely wuth the medications you are already on.
There is only a mild interaction between ciprofloxacin with Inderal causing low blood pressure. However, this interaction is very minor and do not cause problems in most people.
Keep a watch on any symptoms of low blood pressure like dizziness, palpitations. Continue taking Ciprofloxacin as prescribed.

Hope this answers your questions
