Hi,

Ciprofloxacin, commonly known as Cipro, is an antibiotic medication used to treat bacterial infections. Some common side effects of Cipro include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, headache, stomach pain, dizziness, and drowsiness. In rare cases, serious side effects such as tendon rupture, nerve damage, and allergic reactions can occur.

The burning sensation in the vaginal area could be a symptom of a yeast infection, which can occur as a side effect of taking antibiotics. It is important to talk to your healthcare provider about any symptoms you are experiencing. They may recommend testing or treatment for a possible infection or a change in medication.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka, General & Family Physician
