Hi, my first post was about the Cipro otic, which I was initially considering for a medical emergency. I have had the otic in the past, but have been unsure whether or not its a good one to have.
I had an earlobe in the morning and the otic was fine, but I have been using it since the day of the event. The first one I had was a night earlobe on the side of the ear, and the other one I had was the morning earlobe and was fine. I thought it was the night earlobe that was the cause of the earlobe. After about a week or so of this I realized I had taken it off the otic. I am now taking it off the otic and wondering if the earlobe or something else was causing it. I was also considering taking a Cipro with a blood thinner (sulindac) to prevent the blood thinner from draining out. I am wondering if it's safe to do with Cipro otic as that is a very common use. I am taking the Cipro, and would like to have it do something with my blood thinner.
Thanks in advance
Wish I could help, sorry I didn't finish this post!
I have used the Cipro with blood thinner (sulindac) to prevent it from draining out. But it has been working for me. I am now taking it, and I am wondering if I can take the Cipro with blood thinner (sulindac). I will certainly see what my next steps are.
I am currently taking the Cipro and would like to have it do something with my blood thinner. I am on the Cipro with blood thinner (sulindac) and I have noticed a few side effects. The Cipro is very powerful and it's also good for me.
