I had a horrible reaction to the antibiotic CIPRO. I was taking 500mg two times daily. I've already contacted my doctor and have stopped taking it, but the side effects are lingering. I had horrible abdominal pain/discomfort along with nausea, vomiting, headache, light headedness, and dizziness. I haven't take the medicine in about 16 hours, but my stomach is still pretty upset. My doctor told me not to take antiacids or drink milk. Any ideas to rid me of this feeling, because I am starving but I feel too sick to eat.

I have a wound on my foot that got badly infected, and I am allergic to amox/pen/sulfa so they prescibed CIPRO 500 mg twice daily for 10 days. I only took 4 doses. I havn't really been able to hold anything down. I tried drinking water yesterday and I vomited for about 2 hours. I tried eating crackers, vomited for another 3.

I experienced the same sharp pains in my side just under my ribcage.

I don't know if it is related at all, but I have also had the hiccups since 6 am.

What condition were you taking the Cipro for? How long did you take it?
It will take more than 16 hours for the medication to leave your body so hang in there - it will get better in a few hours. You should drink clear liquids that contain sugar (Sprite, Mountain Dew, ginger ale) and eat crackers. You can drink milk if you think your stomach can take it. You can take some over the counter Dramamine to help get through until the medication leaves your body.
If you don't get better by tomorrow morning I would call your doctor back and he/she can give you something for the nausea and check to see if you have developed an infection in your colon due to the antibiotic (this is not very likely though).

What were you taking Cipro for? I was prescribed the same antibiotic for some stomach problems that I've been having. I've only been on it for 2 days and I'm really hoping that it will clear what ever problems I'm having 'cause I am suffering from my stomach. It continues to really hurt and now after reading your questions I'm wondering if the Cipro is making it hurt instead of helping. What kind of pains are you getting? I have these nasty feeling butterflies and bad pains on the sides of my stomach. I hope you feel better though. I know how much it sucks to have stomach problems. I hope the both of us get better soon!!!

Cipro Nausea

Get IV from doctors office ASAP, before the appointment drink plenty of water. You need to 'wash out' the Cipro from your system. Since you haven't had other symptoms, I think your kidney is holding it so far.

Go to the ER. Get someone to take you. You are probably dehydrated and need an IV.
