Is It Dangerous To Smoke Marijuana While On Ciprofloxacin?
18, 5'5, I just got out of the hospital because I was dehydrated and they put me on a nausea medication called pms-ondansetron, as well as an antibiotic for a bladder infenction called, ciprofloxacin. I was just wondering if it would be a terrible idea to smoke marijana while taking these medications?
Not a bit on cipro. no interaction. It is a stretch to say there is an interaction with odansetron. Cipro is pretty inert to people and mainly hits germs. There is a little interaction with the liver ability to metabolize drugs. It is small and unlikely to interact with marijuana much. Odansetron affects a chemical that is involved in the brain, so at least it is in the right ballpark for an interaction BUT it hits different brain chemicals than marijuana and not very much at that. In summary, no not likley to interact. Furthermore there can be other chemicals in marijuana. the biggest interaction iwth those and the drugs is that they often cause some nausea and odansetron would be helpful, not hurtful.
