What Are The After Effects Of Taking Cipro On An Empty Stomach?

default
Posted on Fri, 26 May 2017
Question: I took a 500 mg. tablet of Cipro on an empty stomach, then vomited unexpectedly about 45-50 minutes later. So I'm wondering whether to wait 12 hours before taking another one, or to take another before that, which would seem to depend on whether that amount of time would be enough for the tablet to dissolve and pass out of the stomach. Thanks for any insight.

No need to repeat it as most is absorbed after 30mins.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for contacting us at healthcare magic.

I have reviewed your information fully and there is no need to repeat the dosage as most of if it must have been absorbed 30mins after ingestion.

Avoid caffeine and antacids during treatment. Also, drink much water to stay properly hydrated.

I hope this helps. I wish you well. Feel free to follow up with me if need be.
