i do not know of any contraindications for exercise restriction while anyone is on cipro or for months after. any restrictions that your doctor recommended has nothing to do with the medication but your other health concerns. since i do not know you full medical history it is best to get patient-specific exercise parameters from your doctor -- someone who does have this information. i unfortunately can't give you good guidelines but i can tell the previous answer is incorrect. cipro has repeatedly been associated with increased risk of tendon injury it's probably safest to wait a at least a few weeks to exercise until it completely clears out of your system. bottom line though is to check with your doc. this medication has received one of the strongest fda warnings about tendon rupture and mentions staying away from excersize even several months after treatment. my personal experience: i have always enjoyed excersize but after 2 or 3 rounds of this medication during a year and a half i get extreme burning pain in my ankles. because tendon rupture with this medication is well known it would not surprise me to learn later on after more case histories are revealed that this medication wears away tendons in ankles and could very well cause irreprable damage.
is any exercise safe while taking cipro? how long after 30 days of treatment should i wait before working with weights? . i have been working out for the last 2 years and find myself in decent shape for a 50 year old male. was starting a hardcore workout plan but have stopped. i have been having some urologic issues and after having multiple scans done the doctors are not seeing anything so my doctor has put me on cipro for 30 days. he specifically told me not to lift anything heavy due to possible tendon rupture and from what i see the risk continues even for several months after completing the medication.
