What Are The Side Effects Of Cifromax?
I have an enlarged prostate and with a PSA of 11.6. I had a biopsy a year ago (showed no cancer) and has a recent one this month (inconclusive) due to swollen prostate. The doctor said I have to wait for 6 months inorder for the swelling to subside. He gave antibiotic, Cifromax, but the prescription says that tendon problems could be the side effect, which I am having right now. I had been in this antibiotic since July 2013 on and off. I need to find out who is the best urologist here in Salt Lake and Layton area.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Ciprofloxacin may be not taken in case if you're suffering from side effects like tendinitis or myalgia etc.
So you can take alternate medication like Nitrofurantoin or Co-Trimoxazole, Sulbactam etc.
Please consult your doctor he will examine and treat you with alternate medicine.
Take care.
