Yours is better. Remembered when I almost died in between December 23 - January 3rd 2010 after Premier Hospital diagnosed me with malaria/typhoid. All the medications given to me stalled my stooling. For the very first time In my life I told God to take my life. Worst is, i had to ly in the toilet, couldn't stand and couldn't sit, was in pains as I couldn't get it out, was like I was in labour.My ex had to help me shave my hair because I demanded it.


Hmmmmm . Doctor said it was the anti biotics injections administered.Very bad experience.


Modified;
I hope you guys know i was referring to the hair on my head and not the pubic one?

hmmmmm hope is not the premier hospital i know

Well antibiotics have different reactions on different body, another effect is Constipation, all u needed to do is to report to ur doctor that u are reacting to the drugs prescribed, if need be u discontinue usage. I'm apparently taking Citrotab now and it is cool just that it has ceased my faeces but i've had some citrus to help out in diluting the situation. Just like not all malaria drugs have same healing effect on all bodies. What works for Mr A might not work for Mr B. Always get back to your doctor whenever you experience abnormalies after prescription.

how did this make the front page

Okesilas15:
Pls don,t think what you are experiencing is side effects of ciprotab.It is actually adverse drug reactions!It can lead to anaphylactic shock and death if not well managed.It is dangerous than you are joking about, stop using the drug and you must never use any quinolones like ciprofloxacin, ofloxacin, norfloxacin, sparfloxacin, levofloxacin.Report it to the pharmacist or doctor that prescribe it for you and you will be adequately adviced.I am a pharmacist.

I feel so relieved reading your post.There are so many brand with Cipro.... Out there and the medication is by far toxic than curative.
When NAFDAC was effective, I clearly remembered no month passes without publications and public campaign awareness regarding fake drugs, their manufactures, their country of origin and what to do once medications becomes toxic with side effects as most people have commented.
Ciprofloxacin brand medications should be prohibited for medicinal use until tested proven and confirm safe to use for consumers.

[b]When I read about some drugs having side effects, I always dismiss such info until I swallowed half a card of 'CIPROTAB' in order to fight off a deadly blow from malaria allied with typhoid fever. What my body is undergoing now can only be imagined...

Dews are settling every now and then on my forehead. It seems a new salty spring have suddenly burst out of my throat cause this volume of spittle rushing into my mouth per second is baffling, bewildering, bemusing and mystifying.
The worst thing is I can't coup them back cause the salinity seem higher than what my system really needs. So now you can picture a pregnant woman's favourite sport and picture me!

I bade farewell to sleep three days ago. Well, at least I can read for my ongoing exams instead of lazily dozing... for where? It looks like those feudal worms in my stomach have been constantly at war ever since I took those drugs; I can feel some some hot canon balls being projected from the left 'wing' of my intestines to the right.

Even me wey been dey score multiple hat-tricks when having a serious match with BEANS have now become a spectator!



Erm... What's that going on in my head? Is someone rearranging my brains?!! (grabs head)



Whenever I get out of this dilemma; I and my family shall never consume any drug with letter "C"....

Not even Vitamin C!

Drugs should be made to cure ills, not after curing the ills you start battling with the drug. It's not fair!

Have you ever had any side effects when taking drugs? How did you overcome it? Please share.

OP so in the middle of this condition you could still coordinate this ya write up so perfectly like this and even lengthy self.

You are 3 much...I wonder what you will be able to pull off when u are well and about.

I had worse experience after taking ciprotab I dey fear dat drug...Godforbid I ulmost mad dat day

thank God we have doctors in the room.. just take 3 dose of tramadol and get well. u can thank me later.

The only side effect I experience with Ciprotab is amnesia and my belly swells to twice its size I wait this one out since I don't particularly have a choice here. The alternative is to pretend I'm okay.

Strong analgesics give me a rash (lower arm and feet). For this I take Piriton to stop the itch, and then discontinue use of said drug. Regular analgesics don't cure my headache though.

If you've ever taken Quinine for acute malaria, there's this ringing noise in your ear it comes with. It's used only in extreme cases and I've heard some people end up deaf in one ear after. Don't know. The worst effect a drug with quinine content has on me is this very severe itchiness and it starts once your skin comes in contact with water (this one can be diluted with Piriton too.) I don't think they're added in malarial drugs now anyway. Good riddance.

Captainswag225:
i have stomach pains when i take ciprofloxacin and hot body temperature

Is there any medicine like hot body temperature? You take it along with ciprofloxacin? You try o.

KruggerINC:


Actually I was thinking you were talking about the hair around your vagina and rectum,I sure wasn't envying him for that task.....eeeew

But there is really nothing there na.So who will do the job when I'm heavily pregnant? Ha! He must do it ooooo.

you took half a card which means you overdosed on it and are now complaining?? this is just nature weeding out the dunces from its midst smh

Hey...you should take lots and lots of water....
Chances are you are quite dehydrated by now, taking into consideration the sweat and saline or salty spittle...
I suggest a 75 class bottle every two hours...

75 class cl bottle..

The same thing happened to me wen I took ciprotab....i thought I was going to die!!!.. .swore never to take it again!

your probably bought the fake
go & seek medical attention

Pharm. Kenny
If you actually mean you took half a pack of ciprofloxacin tablets at once, then that's where your problem is coming from! However some people could react to vitadar( a sulfonamide: meaning a sulfur containing drug) as well as ciprofloxacin, ciprofloxacin side effects such as sweating and dehydration and saliva concentration are very rare and as such are classified to have an occurrence frequency of 0.01-0.1%. Therefore such rare adverse effects could most definitely have come from consumption of excessive dose of the cipro.
Your side effects show that d drug has already been absorbed into your blood stream. Ciprofloxacin is eliminated 50-70% unchanged in d urine through d kidneys from the blood stream. Since this is the case, your best bet In eliminating excess cipro from your system fast through your urine is by adequate hydration.( drink lots of water). You' ll be Fine in no time. Always feel free to consult your pharmacist when in doubt as to drugs! Get well soon!

Go see a Doctor, it's that simple. Live free.

Nothing under the sun would ever make me take this drug because of what it did to me. I had same experience as OP

Carinaflo:
Am I the only person that read the part where the op wrote that he swallowed "half a card" of ciprotab?. That's purely an overdose (drug abuse) that's 5 or 7 tablets depending on the type you bought. Do you want to kill yourself?. Drug you are suppose to be taking one tablet per 8 or 12 hours depending on your body weight, you took 5 or 7 tablets at once.

my exprience after taking Arthemeter and the letter C u mention earlier. I got ill and feel like vomiting all the solid that i have taken since i was born and was very tired. I went to a chemist shop and bought a drug. But instead of healing the malaria i bought it for,it caused me increase of my temperature to 48C;dehydration,excessive vomiting and having cold in a hot afternoon.so i discarded the drug after 3 days.after i was hospitalised with dreeps and drugs that cost me me almost 15k before i starts breething life.that was my short exprience with arthemeter and the letter C anti biotics.

You are a victim of fake drugs imported by Chukwudi and sons.... Go for checkup for trace of toxins in your bloodstream because it looks likely to be the cause. Also take lots of water and eat a lot

..apart from posting here, I recommend you report to the nearest pharmacovigilance centre, this will help us keep improving on profile of the drug to make it safer.

My aunt prescribed. She's a nurse.

Okay Herald, I get you now. But please next time, visit a doctor instead. A nurse isn't given the responsibility to prescribe. Its strictly for a doctor.

Reading this made me go down the memory lane. Earlier this year,I was down with Malaria and Typhoid fever,I went to the hospital,and I was given this "ciprofloxacin" along with other drugs(septrin and blood tablets inclusive). I started using them immediately because my mum won't hear story that you were given drugs and you won't take them so I had no choice. After I started taking the drugs I developed some of the symptoms you mentioned and GERD(gastroesophageal reflux disease, some symptoms of this GERD is that feeling that makes you feel like you have a drug stucked in your throat and excess salivation). When I eat I throw up and the saliva didn't stop coming in excess that I couldn't sleep at night because I was always going to throw out spittle. Being a basic medical student I knew I was reacting to the ciprofloxacin and I told my mum but she didn't believe me she felt it was one of my means to escape using the drugs. It was until the salivation kept increasing and the vomiting also continued before she believed me and told me to go back to complain at the hospital,luckily I met the same doctor on call and complained to him and he agreed with me saying I was reacting to the drug and also likely I was reacting to the septrin also. I was given an injection and all the drugs were collected from me and I was given new ones. I think the salivation and vomiting stopped that very day after the injection or the next day,that was how I was freed and I vowed not to ever use that drug in my life because I don't wish my enemies all what I passed through. So go back to the hospital and complain
