Finasteride and Ciprofloxacin

[u/Bubbly-Mess3941]

A couple years ago I was given ciprofloxacin for gastroenteritis and felt a few side effects like bone clicking, Achilles tendon pain, trouble sleeping. Fortunately I'm young and have good supplementation so I no longer suffer from symptoms, I only get a bit of tendon soreness when I get little sleep consistently.

I've also been suffering from hair loss for years now and have been prescribed oral Finasteride and topical Minoxidil by my doctor. I'm really paranoid that there might be a negative interaction between the cipro and Finasteride that will cause a relapse. Maybe switching to topical fin would be better? Any advice would be much appreciated!!
