I tried psoting this yesterday and wound up with a web error so will try again.

There are a whole host of drugs and supplements you need to take at different hours than you take your Cipro, these include things like Calcium which was mentioned on TV, iron, magenesium, antacids, etc. Check the medline website under prescription drugs. http://medlineplus.gov
The list is very lengthy.

Also be aware that now you have adjusted the hours you take your Calcium, etc that this may have an effect on othr drugs you take like synthroid which also isn't supposed to be taken at the same time as calcium. I spent somuch time on Cipro this spring, I wound up going lsightly hyperthyroid because the calcium was no longer interfering with the synthroid.

As for hyperbaric treatment, U of P offered me 2 free treatments before last surgery. I turned them down because I am too claustrophobic and this chamber which seats 8 people looks like a giant oil tank left over from WW II. They would have to drug me get me in it.

Hope this post makes it this time.
