Hello, I have been taking ciprofloxacin since Friday for a urinary tract infection. However, I have severe abdominal cramps and I feel bloated. Should I stop it?

Based on your description, it appears that ciprofloxacin may be causing this effect. In a young woman with an uncomplicated infection, ciprofloxacin can be used for a total of 3 days. I recommend that you contact your pharmacist to determine if your situation would allow you to take cipro for only 3 days. If you need to take it for longer, it may be worthwhile to consider changing your medication, taking into account the antibiotics you have taken in the past and the result of the urine culture you have done, if any.
