Yes, but depending of the dose, length of treatment and your personal conditions, it will also "treat" you.
I mean, it can cause you permanent and irreversible injuries, that might impair your life far more than a normal lyme condition. This is even acknowledged on the package insert.

Health,

I am taking Cipro for Bart and have been on it 1 1/2 months so far. Yes, there could be side effects as there are with almost any medication you take.

So far I've been lucky with it. I definitely know that it is mixing things up and making changes (herxing like mad), but if it's well tolerated, it appears to be a good med.

No two people are the same, so I tried it but was told if you have any type of tendonitis issue, to call your doctor immediately. Good luck to you and get some sleep. We all need that.

Cathy
