💊Drug and Food Interactions of Ciprofloxacin
💊Drug Interactions:
💊Antacids (containing aluminum, magnesium, or calcium): These can reduce ciprofloxacin absorption.
💊Warfarin (blood thinner): Ciprofloxacin can increase the effects of warfarin, increasing the risk of bleeding.
💊Corticosteroids: When combined with ciprofloxacin, there is an increased risk of tendon rupture, especially in older adults.
💉Theophylline: Ciprofloxacin can increase theophylline levels, leading to toxic side effects like tremors and heart arrhythmias.
💊Diuretics: Used together, they can increase the risk of low blood potassium levels (hypokalemia), which can lead to heart problems.
🍔Food Interactions:
🧁Dairy products: While not as significant as with some other antibiotics, large amounts of dairy can reduce the absorption of ciprofloxacin.
☕️ Ciprofloxacin may increase caffeine levels in the blood, leading to side effects like nervousness or jitteriness.
