Cipro is probably overkill - its one of the strongest antibiotics avialable for non-resistant bacteria.

Cipro at a dose of 500 mg two times daily for 10 days is unquestionably one in all the main suitable (and this is the main suitable taking into attention value as there's a common ciprofloxacin) antibiotics for a sinus an infection. i'm getting a minimum of a million sinus an infection a 12 months and that they are depressing and it does sound as in the adventure that your prognosis is genuine. the nice and cozy button is to ward off such infections and the occurrence of sinus infections is very much decreased by potential of daily use of a corticosteroid nasal spray that's obtainable merely by potential of prescription. desire you get to feeling greater effectual.

My doctor gave me Oxytetracycline the other week for a sinus infection, and it's all fine now. Though I can't take many antibiotics that puts extra strain on the liver because I have a liver function problem xD so i cant take for example; erythromycin or I go jaundiced.

It is good and it may well be needed, sinus infections can be difficult to cure.
