Can ciprofloxacin be used in the management of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and what are the risks or benefits of using it for infections in lupus patients?
Ciprofloxacin isn’t used to treat SLE itself; it can treat infections in lupus patients. However, its use must be cautious due to potential adverse effects like tendonitis and tendon rupture.
Ciprofloxacin is not a treatment for SLE, but it may be prescribed for infections in lupus patients. Risks include possible tendon damage and other side effects.
