Tag: Antibiomania

Research from Johns Hopkins found that individuals hospitalized with acute mania were more than five times more likely to have been on antibiotics than a control group, raising important questions about whether can antibiotics trigger a manic episode. This phenomenon, dubbed “antibiomania,” is a rare but significant adverse effect that clinicians and patients should be aware of.

Case reports and adverse event data confirm that Cipro can, in rare instances, cause neuropsychiatric reactions, including mania. While uncommon, patients and healthcare providers should be aware of this potential adverse drug reaction, as it typically resolves after the medication is discontinued.
