Ciprofloxacin side effects.
Ciprofloxacin may cause side effects. Tell your doctor if any of these symptoms are severe or do not go away:
- upset stomach
- vomiting
- stomach pain
- indigestion
- headache
- nervousness
- agitation
- anxiety
- difficulty falling asleep or staying asleep
- nightmares or abnormal dreams
Some side effects can be serious. The following symptoms are uncommon, but if you experience any of them or those mentioned in the SPECIAL PRECAUTIONS section, call your doctor immediately:
- seizures
- vaginal yeast infection
- confusion
- shaking hands that you cannot control
- believing that others want to harm you
- hallucination (seeing things or hearing voices that do not exist)
- depression
- thoughts about dying or killing yourself
You should know that ciprofloxacin has slowed the growth and damaged the joints of young laboratory animals. It is not known if ciprofloxacin has these effects on children. Therefore, ciprofloxacin should not normally be given to children younger than 18 years old. However, if a child has been exposed to anthrax in the air, the benefits of taking ciprofloxacin to prevent this serious illness may be greater than the risk of joint damage. Talk to your child's doctor about the risks of giving ciprofloxacin to your child.
Ciprofloxacin may cause other side effects. Call your doctor if you have any unusual problems while taking this medication.
