Ask HN: Is Cipro Safe?

I was prescribed for an infection and the warnings seem crazy. Lots of people online say it messed them up bad. Is this stuff safe? Hoping there’s some classic HN interactions here where a world class expert weighs in.

see https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/?term=ciprofloxacin+adverse

That said, I know someone who died of an infection recently, and infections took out many illustrious people in the past such as Emmy Noether and Rudolph Valentino.

Almost the opposite of an expert, sorry to disappoint. I wont't use it on animals, much less people.
