Suggest Treatment For Febrile Seizures

I rec d an Rx for CIPROFLOXACIN instead of the dr- ordered RX FOR cIPRO 250MG; tHE CIPROFLOXACIN HAS SIDE EFFECTS THAT i FEAR i SHOULD NOT TAF; DUE TO THE POSSIBLE INJURE TO ACHICALLES HRAL TO PEOPLE OVER 60. i AM 83 WITH MUSCULAR AND MOBILITY LOSS AND PROBLEMS OF SERIOUS OSTEOARITHRITIS. tHE RX SUBMITTED TO PHARamist was Cipro 250. It is for UTI infection (which I was unawre of). Qustion: Should I reallt take the Ciprofloxacin? Also I have found on medical report: CKD stage III with treatment plan: eGFR 51 which I think means no Nephrotoxics (ie: Acetaminophen, right? I have lower back pain now (not sure if akidney pain0; I am regular bowel movements; no constipation.
