Can Celestamine Be Taken With Ciprobay XR?

default
Posted on Tue, 29 Apr 2014
Question: Hi can I take celestamine with the antibiotic ciprobay XR 1000mg? I am concerned about the possible side effects associated with celestamine particularly the reference to disruption of your immune system from the steroid component of celestamine.

Brief Answer: the steroid would reduce immune response Detailed Answer: HI, thanks for using healthcare magic Celestamine is a combination of a steroid and antihistamine. Steroids dampen the immune response. This means that they can either increased risk of getting infections or slow down recovery of infections (because the immune system is not able to respond normally). This means the celestamine can potentially (may not ) slow down your recovery and the effectiveness of the antibiotics. There is an slight increased risk of injury to the tendons with the combination of these medications because both of them on their own can cause this problem. This can occur months after the ciprofloxacin has been completed. This is more common over the age of 60 and may not be problem for you. Summary: (1) may affect response to antibiotics (2)increased risk of tendon injury I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
