Does Cipro Cause Side Effects Like Constipation And Other Issues In Patients Aged Above 70?
What are side effects of taking Cipro (I've only taken two) for infections for Seniors (74)? Can it cause bad constipation? Can it cause other problems? I am also taking two Tylenol extra strength every 4-5 hours. This is for prostatitis with some bleeding and fairly constant temperature around 102 degrees, and occasionally up to 103.5 degrees. I am getting very constipated and may take Colace. Any advice? We are 700 miles from our home and my doctor's office is closed on Fridays.
Thank you,
Bill

Hi
Thanks for your query.
Yes, cipro can cause constipation and other gastro-intestinal problems. You may take laxatives like lactulose to ease it a bit.
Hope this helps.
