Can I Take Cipro With Tendon Problems?
54 yr old female; 5 feet 4 in tall approx 135lbs Had surgery for calcific tendonitis and a rotator cuff repair last month. Internist wants me to take Cipro for unrelated infection. Warnings on label regarding tendon problems. I also had ruptured my achilles about 7 years ago and had it surgically repaired. Should I be concerned about taking the Cipro?
