I just picked up a prescription for Cipro prescribed for an infection. After reading the 3 pages of warnings about tendon tears and ruptures, I'm not so sure I should be taking this antibiotic. I am approaching the height of the LCM season in the pool and the gym in preparation for LC Nats. Does anyone have any experience with Cipro in this regard? Should I continue my high level of training? What about competition?
Unless you are a mouse, I wouldn't worry about it. The studies on Cipro showing tendon issues were not on humans, and really it's only children who are at theoretical risk. Folks above 16 or so don't need to worry.
