I'm wondering if it's okay to take Ciplox and Nexpro tablets on an empty stomach. Are there any side effects I should worry about? I've got food poisoning, so I'm a bit concerned about what meds I can take safely.

It is generally safe to take Ciplox (Ciprofloxacin) with Nexpro (Esomeprazole) on an empty stomach. Ciplox is an antibiotic that can help treat bacterial infections, while Nexpro is a proton pump inhibitor that helps reduce stomach acid. However, it is important to note that Ciplox may be less effective if taken with dairy products or calcium-fortified juices. As for harmful effects, both medications can cause side effects such as nausea, diarrhea, and abdominal pain. It is advisable to take Ciplox with a full glass of water and Nexpro before meals for best results.

View allI've noticed that after just a couple of drinks, my eyes get really red, I get a headache, feel nauseous, and my stomach feels extremely tight and full. I'm also having trouble breathing, and my heartbeat gets really fast. This has been happening for about a month, even though I stopped drinking alcohol. I've tried to have a drink a couple of times since then, but the same problem occurs. This never happened before, and I've been drinking for years. I got a body check-up two months ago, and everything was normal. What could be going on with me, and should I be concerned?
