My husband had two heart stents put in on March 1. He was doing well, then on March 14 he came down with what was diagnosed as a U.T.I. At Redicare, they put him on Cipro. He has five days left of the script. My concern is that for about 4 days he has been coughing. He says he is not short of breath and has no pain or pressure, but he sounds like he does when his asthma/allergies are bothering him. Raspy voice, scratchy throat, frequent non-productive cough. Could this be a side effect of Cipro? Or, Effient, the new blood thinner? Or a combination? He also takes Lisinopril and Pravachol.
