What Causes Extreme Tiredness After Taking Cipro?
I was prescribed Cipro today by my periodontist to prevent infection of a dental implant which I am in the process of getting. I have had it before and it makes me feel tired and not so great. I am 67 years old. Is this drug appropriate for that?

Hi,
Thanks for your question on HCM
I do understand your pain and discomforts
As per clinical history is concerned you can change antibiotics but Cipro is not bad at all and antibiotics has no role to play for your weakness at all.Fatigue has many pathological causes so correct your vitamin B-12 and iron level first if low.You can take oral capsules or take by injections also.Also check your TSH and FBS level.
Hope that helps
