Description
Indications
Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that is indicated for the treatment and prevention of various bacterial infections, including pneumonia, gonorrhea, typhoid fever, skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, abdominal infections, and prostate infections.
Ciprofloxacin may also be used to treat certain other infections such as bronchitis, sinus infections, and urinary tract infections. Ciprofloxacin extended-release tablets are recommended for the treatment of kidney and urinary tract infections, but only when no other treatment options are available. This medication is effective against plague and inhalation anthrax, which can be used as bioterrorism agents.
Antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin, are ineffective against viral infections such as colds, flu, and other viral illnesses. Unnecessary use of antibiotics can lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, making it more difficult to treat infections in the future.
Uses and Dosage
Ciprofloxacin is available in tablet, suspension, and extended-release tablet forms and should be taken orally with or without food. The tablets and suspension are taken twice daily, while the extended-release tablets are taken once daily. For the treatment of gonorrhea, the tablets and suspension may be administered as a single dose.
Take ciprofloxacin at approximately the same time each day, the duration of treatment depends on the nature of the infection. Your doctor will prescribe the appropriate dosage and duration of therapy, follow their instructions carefully.
Ciprofloxacin formulations are not interchangeable. Only take the specific type of ciprofloxacin prescribed by your physician.
Avoid consuming dairy products or calcium-fortified juices alone when taking ciprofloxacin. Swallow the tablets whole, without crushing or chewing them. If your doctor advises you to split a 250-mg or 500-mg tablet, you may do so along the scored line. Extended-release tablets must be swallowed whole, and not crushed, split, or chewed.
If you are using the suspension, shake the bottle for 15 seconds before each use to ensure uniform mixing. Swallow the correct dose without chewing the granules in the suspension.
You should start to feel better within the first few days of taking ciprofloxacin. If your symptoms do not improve or worsen, contact your physician immediately.
Complete the entire course of ciprofloxacin as prescribed by your doctor, even if you feel better. Abruptly stopping ciprofloxacin or skipping doses may not completely treat your infection, and the bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics.
