Ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, can trigger allergic reactions such as skin rashes, swelling, breathing difficulties, dizziness, and, in rare cases, anaphylaxis. Some individuals may experience tendonitis or tendon rupture as an adverse reaction.


What should I do if I’m allergic to ciprofloxacin?

Inform your doctor immediately and avoid all fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Alternative antibiotics like penicillins or macrolides may be prescribed instead.
