A Cipro allergic reaction can manifest in various ways. Skin reactions are common, ranging from mild itching and hives (urticaria) to severe rashes, including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and toxic epidermal necrolysis. These severe reactions require immediate medical attention.
Gastrointestinal issues such as nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea are also possible. More serious reactions can involve abdominal pain and cramping.
Respiratory symptoms can include shortness of breath, wheezing, and swelling of the throat (angioedema). This is a medical emergency requiring immediate treatment.
Less common but still important to note are symptoms affecting the nervous system. These can include dizziness, confusion, and even seizures.
If you experience any of these symptoms after taking Cipro, stop taking the medication and seek medical attention immediately. Early intervention is critical for managing allergic reactions.
