"Yes. Antibiotics, in general, are not contraindicated in those taking opioid based medications. (Just make sure that you have not previously had an allergy to the particular antibiotic being described.) As always, check with your prescribing physician first.

This is completely wrong. Please do not take this single and uneducated answer as carte blanche to take them freely together.

Sourcing directly from the leaflet that comes with a Suboxone 8/2 prescription I will relay a passage that should be of use to you:

Some products may interact with this medication include

narcotic antagonists (such as baktrexibe), certain narcotic

pain medications (mixed narcotic agonist-antagonist such as

butorphanol, nalbuphine, pentazocine [, buprenorphine.])

Other medications can affect the removal of buprenorphine

from your body, which may affect how buprenorphine works...

Examples include azole antifungals (e.g. ketoconazole), HIV

medications..., marcolide antibiotics(such as erythomycin),

rifamycins (e.g. rifabutib), St. John's wort, drugs used to treat seizures (e.g. carbamazepine, phenytoin), among others. The

risk of serious side effects (slow/shallow breathing, severe

drowsiness, dizziniess) may be increased if this medication is taken with other products that may also affect breathing or

cause drowsiness...[anxiety medications: benzodiazepines,

primarily, including Xanax (alprazolam), Klonopin

(clonazepam), Valium (diazepam), anti-seizure drugs,

sleeping aids, or narcotics (hydrocodone/oxycodone), and

psychiatric medicines (such as risperidone, amitriptyline,

trazadone).

Please folks, use extreme caution... Cipro is not just some antibiotic like Amoxicillin... These drugs are quinolone antibiotics and they are essentially a poison, without getting too technical. They prevent the bacteria from replicating their DNA. I had a terrible experience taking just one tablet in conjunction with no other drugs or interactive foods; it is a miracle for some, though!
