Is It Safe To Take Lyrica And Ciprofloxacin Together For Chest Infection?
Question: is it safe to take lyrica (pregabalin) and ciprofloxacin at the same time? I have a very bad chest infection. I also have MS. My GP indicated I should come off the Lyrica whilst taking the ciprofloxacin - which I did, but 26 hours after the last dose of Lyrica I have terrible diarrhea (which I had expected as whenever I have forgotten to take the lyrica, I have dreadful diarrhea). Anyhow - thought I would check to see what the side effects of taking both are, and cannot find anything indicating they should not be taken at the same time.
