Suggest Treatment For Tendon Issues While On Cipro For UTI
I have had ligament and tendon issues since taking 30 days of Cipro for UTI s. I m 72 and I ve been told I should not take that drug, that there are better alternatives for UTI and that it can damage ligaments and tendons and perhaps muscles and nerves..
The probability of tendon issues due to Cipro use is very low.
In this case, I suggest you to use anti-inflammatory medication for the pain such as Ibuprofen three times a day. I also suggest you on use magnesium supplements for relief.
Hope I have answered your query.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Dorina Gurabardhi,
General & Family Physician
