How does ciprofloxacin interact with corticosteroids and what precautions should be taken when these medications are used together to avoid increased risks of tendonitis or other side effects?
Ciprofloxacin increases the risk of tendonitis and tendon rupture when combined with corticosteroids. Patients should avoid strenuous activity and report any tendon pain immediately.
When ciprofloxacin is taken with corticosteroids, the risk of tendon problems rises. Patients should minimize physical exertion and seek medical advice if they experience tendon pain or swelling.
