i have to draw the line when someone asks if they can take medication that was prescribed for their pet. if you have a "serious" infection you are beyond cipro my friend. any infection needs to be evaluated by a health care provider. serious infections usually mean a trip to the hospital for iv antibiotics. we really need to focus in the u. s. on inappropriate use of antibiotics -- we are running out of choices to fight the "bad bugs" because of our careless use of antibiotics.
in an emergency will cipro 500 mg prescribed for a dog (by a veterinarian) help with a serious infection in a human?
