Ciprofloxacin in pregnancy?
I have just discovered i am 5 months pregnant, but have been taking the above antibiotic, studies are inconclusive as to whether this can damage the baby, anyone had any experiences regarding this? (Have been to the DRs but they cant say as have no definite case studies)
Answers:
Why not talk it over with an obstetrician, they are the best people to talk to.
I should think baby will be ok. People are on worse medication and illicit drugs and all turns out well.
Try not to get yourself worked up, you don't need the extra stress.
A good scan will reveal a lot, but of course, there are no guarantees.
Some of us get problems without having taken any medication....
Take good care of yourself and be positive.

Generic Name: ciprofloxacin
Brand Name: Cipro, Cipro XR
Drug Class And Mechanism: Many common infections in humans are caused by single cell organisms, called bacteria. Bacteria can grow and multiply, infecting different parts of the body. Medicines that control and eradicate these bacteria are called antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that stops multiplication of bacteria by inhibiting the reproduction and repair of their genetic material (DNA).
Prescription: yes
Generic Available: no
Preparations: Tablets: 250mg, 500mg, 750mg. Tablets Cipro XR: 500 and 1000 mg.
Storage: Ciprofloxacin should be stored at below 86 degrees F.
Prescribed For: Ciprofloxacin is used to treat infections of the skin, lungs, airways, bones, and joints caused by susceptible bacteria. Ciprofloxacin is also frequently used to treat urinary infections caused by bacteria such as E. coli. Ciprofloxacin is effective in treating infectious diarrheas caused by E. coli, campylobacter jejuni, and shigella bacteria.
Dosing: Ciprofloxacin may be taken with or without food. Ciprofloxacin is partially metabolized by the liver and excreted by the kidney. Dosages require adjustment in patients with severely abnormal liver or kidney function. Antacids block the absorption of ciprofloxacin and they should not be taken together.
Drug Interactions: Ciprofloxacin administered together with theophylline can lead to elevated blood levels of theophylline. Theophylline is used to open airways in the treatment of asthma. Toxic levels of theophylline can lead to seizures, and disturbances in heart rhythm. If concurrent use of ciprofloxacin and theophylline cannot be avoided, frequent blood tests to monitor theophylline blood levels are performed. Ciprofloxacin should be used with caution in patients with central nervous system diseases such as seizures, because rare seizures have been reported in patients receiving this medication. Ciprofloxacin should be avoided in children and adolescents under 18 years old, as safe use in these patients have not been established.
Do not mind, it is too late
Talk to your doctor. The first trimester is the most important phase of pregnancy, when outside substances (such as an antibiotic) are going to have the greatest effect on the fetus. If you're five months pregnant.you're already past that. So not to sound like it's bad or hopeless but if there is a possibility of damage, it's probably already occured. Best to see an obstetrician right away, get ultrasounds, etc.
