Will cipro help cure a sinus infection?

Question

I've got cipro from some of my off shore business trips, and I've got a sinus infection. I'm taking over the counter symptom releivers, and rinsing/gargling with warm saltwater, and I'm drinking lots of water and juice, and I'm still miserable. It is becoming an infection (color is yellow, and sinuses are aching). I know that cipro is an antibiotic, and I wonder if it would do anything for this sinus infection that I have.

Answer 1

it may, but it is not the drug of choice for a sinus infection. if you take it without really needing it, you can set yourself up for resistant bacteria, so when you really need cipro, the bacteria may be immune, and the cipro won't work.
best to see a doctor, and they can prescribe something more narrow spectrum.

Answer 2

Cipro For Sinus Infection

Answer 3

Ciprofloxacin For Sinus Infection

Answer 4

Cipro at a dose of 500 mg twice daily for 10 days is among the best (and it is the best taking into account cost as there is a generic ciprofloxacin) antibiotics for a sinus infection. I get at least 1 sinus infection a year and they are miserable and it does sound as if your diagnosis is correct. The key is to prevent such infections and the incidence of sinus infections is greatly reduced by daily use of a corticosteroid nasal spray which is available only by prescription. Hope you get to feeling better.

This medication is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Ciprofloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for virus infections (such as common cold, flu). Unnecessary use or misuse of any antibiotic can lead to its decreased effectiveness.
Read the Medication Guide and, if available, the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your pharmacist before you start taking ciprofloxacin and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.Take this medication by mouth with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually twice a day in the morning and evening.The tablet may have a bitter taste if you split, chew, or crush it before taking it. The manufacturer recommends swallowing the tablet whole for this reason.The dosage and length of treatment is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Drink plenty of fluids while taking this medication unless your doctor tells you otherwise.Take this medication at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking other products that may bind to it, decreasing its effectiveness. Ask your pharmacist about the other products you take. Some examples include: quinapril, sucralfate, vitamins/minerals (including iron and zinc supplements), and products containing magnesium, aluminum, or calcium (such as antacids, didanosinesolution, calcium supplements).Calcium-rich foods, including dairy products (such as milk, yogurt) or calcium-enriched juice, can also decrease the effect of this medication. Take this medication at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after eating calcium-rich foods, unless you are eating these foods as part of a larger meal that contains other (non-calcium-rich) foods. These other foods decrease the calcium binding effect.Ask your doctor or pharmacist about safely using nutritional supplements/replacements with this medication.Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level.

Stopping the medication too early may result in a return of the infection.Tell your doctor if your condition persists or worsens.
