Suggest Treatment For Side Effects Of Cipro

I would explain as follows:
Detailed Answer:
Hello!
I carefully passed through your medical history and would explain that it is necessary to consider one of the three following alternatives:
1- It is known that Ciprofloxacine can trigger myalgia, myastenia, irreversible polyneuropathy and even vasculitis. To investigate the possibility of these adverse effects, it is necessary performing
- a complete blood count
- muscular enzymes and liver enzymes
- a nerve conduction study coupled with an electromyography.
2- DRESS syndrome. It is a systemic reaction as an adverse effect of some antibiotics. It is associated to increased circulating eosinophiles, low platelet count and increased lymphocytes. A complete blood count coupled with liver and kidney function tests would help exclude this possibility.
3- Your symptoms could be related to simvastatin, that you are actually taking. I would recommend checking your muscle enzymes, liver function tests and in case they result elevated, you should consider stopping simvastatin, because it may cause or aggravate your symptoms.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
