MEDICATION GUIDE
CIPROFLOXACIN TABLETS, USP
CIPROFLOXACIN EXTENDED-RELEASE TABLETS
Read the Medication Guide that comes with ciprofloxacin tablets before
you start taking it and each time
you get a refill. There may be new information. This Medication Guide
does not take the place of talking
to your healthcare provider about your medical condition or your
treatment.
WHAT IS THE MOST IMPORTANT INFORMATION I SHOULD KNOW ABOUT
CIPROFLOXACIN TABLETS?
Ciprofloxacin belongs to a class of antibiotics called
fluoroquinolones. Ciprofloxacin tablets can cause
side effects that may be serious or even cause death. If you get any
of the following serious side effects,
get medical help right away. Talk with your healthcare provider about
whether you should continue to
take ciprofloxacin tablets.
Tendon rupture or swelling of the tendon (tendinitis)
•
Tendons are tough cords of tissue that connect muscles to bones.
•
Pain, swelling, tears, and inflammation of tendons including the back
of the ankle (Achilles),
shoulder, hand, or other tendon sites can happen in people of all ages
who take fluoroquinolone
antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin tablets. The risk of getting
tendon problems is higher if you:
•
are over 60 years of age
•
are taking steroids (corticosteroids)
•
have had a kidney, heart, or lung transplant.
•
Swelling of the tendon (tendinitis) and tendon rupture (breakage) have
also happened in patients
who take fluoroquinolones who do not have the above risk factors.
•
Other reasons for tendon ruptures can include:
•
physical activity or exercise
•
kidney failure
•
tendon problems in the past, such as in people with rheumatoid
arthritis (RA)
•
Call your healthcare provider right away at the first sign of tendon
pain, swelling or inflammation.
Stop taking ciprofloxacin tablets until tendinitis or tendon rupture
has been ruled out by your
healthcare provider. Avoid exercise and using the affected area. The
