What Causes Mild Seizures While On Ciprofloxacin While Having Parkinson S Disease?

My husband from having a continuous catheter has a UTI and was put on ciprofloxacn 250mg today. At five this evening he took his first pill! Between five thirty and six he had 3 light seizures. He has Parkinson s, is on seizure medication, and is 91 yrs old! Do you think he may be allergic to this drug? Janet Gerkèn YYYY@YYYY
