• Inform your doctor if you have a history of kidney disease, tendon problems, seizures, or allergies to fluoroquinolones.

• Avoid unnecessary sun exposure during treatment, as ciprofloxacin can make the skin more sensitive to sunlight.

• Complete the full course of treatment, even if symptoms improve earlier.
