Hi,

Ciprofloxacin belongs to the group of antibiotic medications that is known as Quinolone that is used in the treatment of various bacterial Infections like urinary tract Infections, sexually transmitted diseases, skin and soft tissue infections and many more. But like other medications this medication has some side effects of its own. Though it is rare, but it may cause increased tendency of bleeding like vaginal bleeding. It may also cause prolonged bleeding. If you notice such type of bleeding tendency during using this medication, then you should stop taking Ciprofloxacin immediately first and then visit your doctor for further assessment and treatment purposes.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
