Cipro (ciprofloxacin) for Bladder Infection: I had a very serere bladder infection. My urologist prescribed Cipro and it worked like a charm. I didn't suffer any side effects.

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) for Urinary Tract Infection: Used ciprofloxacin frequently for several years for chronic urinary tract infections. Ended up with painful urination frequently. After much money spent on tests for bladder cancer, I discovered that blood in the urine is a rare, but serious, side effect of Ciprofloxacin. So all those times I thought I had a bladder infection, I had a ciprofloxacin induced condition. Blood (not usually visible to the naked eye) in urine, but makes urinating very painful nonetheless. A word to the wise. We consumers have to do our own research on side effects.

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) for Urinary Tract Infection: Cipro is the fastest effective medicine to take. I've probably have taken all types of medications for UTI and Cipro definitely shows improvement within 1 day.

ciprofloxacin for Bacterial Infection: I was suffering from Diarrhea,chills,extreme sweating, but no fever. This was very scaring because no one could figure out what was happening to me. It was decided that I probably had a BACTERIAL INFECTION. The PA decided that he would treat that and prescribed Ciprofloxacin. I am allergic to a lot of things and was afraid that this would not work. I took this medication and within 2 days I felt so much better,with headaches being the only side effect.

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) for Urinary Tract Infection: I am allergic to caffeine and spicy foods that give me all kind urinary infections. However, just one Cipro pill makes the pain just disappear! I have no known side effect from Cipro. Cipro is simple awesome!

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) for Bladder Infection: Cipro is magical when it comes to bladder infections. Please do not drink milk and please make sure you eat a cracker, a piece of bread or other food prior to taking this medication. It is by far the strongest and most effective for severe bladder infections. Within just hours you no longer feel that constant annoying urgency to urinate and the pain of the oncoming infection lessens the first day of taking Cipro. And, lastly, however most importantly, do not have intercourse for at least a week or longer.

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) for Urinary Tract Infection: I used Cipro for a urinary tract infection (I do not usually get urinary tract infections). The first night I took it, I felt better by the next morning. It took a few hours before I felt better (where I didn't have to go to the bathroom every 3 minutes), but it let me sleep and by the next day that burning sensation had gone away. The only side effect, was I felt nauseated and sluggish the first day. After that, it was great to get back to normal.

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) for Diverticulitis: Nausea after 3rd day. Some disorientation-dizziness on 6th day Nervousness-shakiness after 4 days. DOES KILL the bacteria well, though.

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) for Urinary Tract Infection: I took this 2 times for the same UTI. Although it helped minimize some of the symptoms, it did not cure my UTI. I have taken 6 rounds of antibiotics (2x Cipro) and have finally been prescribed Augmentin. Hopefully it will work!

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) for Bladder Infection: I have become very sensitive to ingredients in certain drinks and products. I can no longer take bubble baths or use body washes (anything with scents). I also can't drink any of the energy drinks. From the first time I feel the symptoms (frequency, pain, "full" feeling), it's usually gone straight to my kidneys and I'm urinating with blood in the urine. Over the counter mediines don't work with me. The doctor gives me Cipro and Pyridine (for pain/turns urine orange) and it knocks it out fast and completely. Depending on the dose (I get higher for kidneys than just straight bladder), it can wipe out all bacteria (good/bad) and cause a yeast infection. I've been lucky and only have had one.

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) for Diverticulitis: Have used once or twice a year for last 10 years and start to have relief within 24 hours with symptoms usually gone by day three. I take two a day after first tinge of pain (you know what I am talking about) and continue for one week minimum or two days more than symptoms persist. Makes me a little fatigued and I start to get diarrhea after about 4 days but it is worth it.

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) for Urinary Tract Infection: After one pill I felt depressed and could not sleep that night. I decided to stop taking the medication and will have it replaced with good old Amoxicilin.

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) for Urinary Tract Infection: Cipro worked the first time I got a urinary tract infection but has become less effective with each successive one. This time my doctor gave me an injection of Rocephin followed by a 15 day (twice a day) treatment of Doxycycline.

ciprofloxacin for Bladder Infection: I have had a horrible and painful UTI/bladder infection for 8 days now. At the beginning I was given another antibiotic for 3 days. It basicaly did nothing. I went back about 3 days ago and was given ciprofloxacin. I have been taking it for 3 days and today is my last day. I have 1 more pill to go. Today is the 1st day that I feel a lot better. I have no urgency, no pain, but a slight tenderness. Im praying and praying that this will work. I give a big thank you to ciprofloxacin.

Cipro (ciprofloxacin) for Bladder Infection: It works every time, however takes about 3-4 hours to provide relief. The only reason why I don't give it a 10 is because it gives me yeast infections every time.
