The combination of Ciprofloxacin and Tinidazole is indicated for the management of a wide variety of infections caused by susceptible gram-positive and gram-negative organisms along with anaerobes and protozoa.
Ciprofloxacin: Antibiotics (Quinolone antibiotics)
Tinidazole : Antiprotozoals
Ciprofloxacin + Tinidazole effectively manages infection, where ciprofloxacin works by killing bacteria that cause infections. It only works with specific strains of bacteria. Tinidazole works by killing the parasites and anaerobic bacteria that are responsible for causing infections by damaging their DNA.
Consult your doctor:
Cipro has been shown to cause some side effects. Talk to your health care provider if these mild reactions do not go away within a few days.
Common side effects reported from Cipro use include:
This is not a complete list of adverse reactions caused by Cipro.Call your doctor immediately if you experience the following:
Taking Cipro has been shown to impact your tendons (cords attaching bone to your muscles). It can increase your risk of developing tendonitis or a tendon rupture, especially if you’re over 60, taking steroid medications, or have a history of tendon problems.
Cipro can interact with other medications and substances, causing potentially serious side effects or allergic reactions. Tell your doctor if you are taking muscle relaxers such as tizanidine (Zanaflex), phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors such as sildenafil, anticoagulants (blood thinners), antidepressants, antipsychotics, diuretics, insulin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen.
This is not a complete list of Cipro drug interactions, so discuss any medications you’re on, even if you don’t see them listed here. Cipro can cause low blood sugar in some patients. Be wary of low blood pressure symptoms such as blurred vision, fatigue, confusion, pale skin, and cold sweats. Watch for these adverse effects if you have diabetes, and take diabetes medication orally. These could be signs of hypoglycemia and could lead to unconsciousness.
The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found that, while rare, fluoroquinolone antibiotics like Cipro can increase the occurrence of severe ruptures or tears in your aorta (a large artery that begins in the heart). These ruptures can lead to dangerous aortic bleeding, a heart attack, or even death, so people at risk for cardiac problems should be cautious about taking Cipro.
Be sure to tell your doctor if you have been diagnosed with or have a history of other medical conditions, including a prolonged QT interval (a rare heart problem that may cause an irregular heartbeat, fainting, or sudden death), aneurysms, kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, myasthenia gravis (severe muscle weakness), seizures, or diabetes. Cipro can also significantly increase theophylline levels in your blood, leading to serious illness or death. This is not a comprehensive list of medical conditions that Cipro may affect, so speak with your doctor about your medical history before taking Cipro.
Cipro can cause your skin to become sensitive to sunlight or ultraviolet light, so try to avoid unnecessary sun exposure and do your best to wear protective clothing, sunglasses, or sunscreen that is SPF 15 or higher. Call your doctor if you notice redness, swelling, or blistering from sun exposure while on Cipro.
As with all prescription medication, inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been diagnosed with and any medications or supplements you currently take before starting treatment. Antacids can reduce the amount of Cipro that your body absorbs, so be sure to take them at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking antacid medications.
In addition, let your doctor know if you are breastfeeding, pregnant, or planning on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with this medication.
paralysis, dizziness, drowsiness, excitability, or decreased coordination - These symptoms are not experienced by everyone who takes Cipro.Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) is used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections, including those affecting the ears, throat, lungs, urinary tract, eye, and skin. It belongs to a group of medicines called quinolone antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin works by stopping the growth of bacteria. It is usually taken orally, once or twice a day depending on the infection being treated. Symptoms may include fever, chills, sore throat, headache, and stomach pain. Ciprofloxacin can be taken with or without food. It may take a few days to a few weeks before any improvement is observed. Do not take Ciprofloxacin more often than once a day unless directed by a doctor. Ciprofloxacin may cause side effects like nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, and headache. Contact a doctor immediately if these symptoms occur. Ciprofloxacin may also cause you to take other medicines to prevent the infection from recurring. Always consult with a doctor before taking any new medicine to treat your condition.
Ciprofloxacin may be harmful to your unborn baby. Therefore, make sure you are fully aware of the risks before taking this medicine. Ciprofloxacin may cause birth defects in a pregnant woman. Ciprofloxacin should not be given to a baby if it has not been used in its original packaging or if it has any other abnormalities.
Do not take Ciprofloxacin if you are also using a medicine called azithromycin (Z-Pack) for the treatment of bacterial infections. Ciprofloxacin may make you dizzy or drowsy.

Do not drive, do hazardous activity, or do other activity that may cause dizziness, lightheadedness, or fainting when standing or sitting. It may also make you have more sensitive skin, nails, and scalp. If you are a woman, this medicine may make you more sensitive to the sun. Ciprofloxacin may make you less interested in sex. If you plan on having sex, talk to your doctor before using this medicine. Ciprofloxacin may make you feel dizzy or drowsy. You may feel tired, sleepy, or dizzy when standing or sitting, or more likely to have a seizure after taking this medicine. Drinking alcohol with this medicine may make you more sensitive to the sun.

If you notice any side effects that do not go away, contact your doctor. This medicine may rarely cause more serious problems.
BackgroundThe current practice of registration of Ciprofloxacin (Ciprodex) is to obtain an electronic medical record (EMR) from a registered healthcare provider. The process is very expensive and requires a large number of patients to be registered. The current system is not compliant with the requirements of the National Registration Act (NRA), which includes the requirement for patient information and registration of a medical record and the requirement of patients to provide medical records. Therefore, the registration of Ciprodex must be done online. This study is focused on this online system and the need for a complete online registration. A web-based platform to collect medical records and online forms was developed and validated.
MethodsThis study was conducted from October 2012 to March 2013 in the University of Illinois at Chicago (UIC). All patients were registered with the National Register of Clinical Trials (NCT00072480) or the National Institutes of Health (NIH) (NCT00477560). The platform was designed using the web-based platform developed by Dr. Jens M. Scholz and Dr. H. R. Schumacher. The questionnaire was developed and validated in an online, anonymous form. The online form, consisting of a brief questionnaire, was approved by the UIC Institutional Review Board.
ResultsThe online platform, which was provided by Dr. Scholz, was validated for the online patient registration process. The questionnaire was used to evaluate the accuracy of the online form. The online questionnaire was validated by the online form. The questionnaire was completed by 4,929 patients. The mean age was 59.0 (SD 11.0) years.
ConclusionThis online platform is a useful tool to provide patient information and an online form. However, it is not a complete online platform that will provide the required patient information and registration of a medical record. We have chosen the online platform for this study because of the large number of patients with these forms and the required patient information.
