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.
