How can this medicine affect other medicines?

When used with ciprofloxacin the following medications increase the risk of convulsions: - Non-steriodal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAID's) - Theophylline (ciprofloxacin also increases the concentration of theophylline in the blood - monitor theophylline levels). The blood thinning effects of warfarin and nicoumalone are enhanced with ciprofloxacin. Ciprofloxacin increases the risk of kidney damage when used with cyclosporin. The manufacturer advises that opioid analgesics be avoided when using ciprofloxacin, as it decreases the levels of ciprofloxacin in the blood.
