How long does it take?

Mema 1Member

Does anyone know how long Cipro takes to work? I'm positive that I had pouchitis....all of the signs, bleeding, diarrhea, gas .... the doc put me on Cipro and I was on it for about 4 or 5 days and I felt better with two pills. He then took a scope and said that there was no pouchitis to be seen....he said that it was probably an irritable pouch. I disagree with him...comments from anyone please.

Cipro often starts to work very, very quickly for pouchitis, at least in terms of symptoms. Visible changes in the pouch can take longer, but it sounds like he didn’t have a “before Cipro” look. Not all pouchitis is obvious on scope, but bleeding ulcers usually would be pretty obvious, unless the bleeding was coming from irritated hemorrhoids.

You might also have had an irritable pouch, I suppose...
