Ciprofloxacin is used in the treatment of various bacterial infections such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, ear infections, urinary tract infections, genital tract infections, stomach infections, infections of bones and joints and skin and soft tissue infections. It can also be used in the management of patients with anthrax inhalation exposure.
Ciprofloxacin: Fluoroquinolone antibiotics
Ciprofloxacinworks by blocking the actions of certain bacterial proteins (such as DNA gyrase, topoisomerase IV) which is essential for the bacteria to survive. As a result, it destroys the susceptible bacteria and prevent their further growth and multiplication within the body which helps in reducing the severity of the infection.
Consult your doctor if you experience:
Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic which is used in the treatment of bacterial infections of the skin, ear, lungs and liver. It can also be used in the management of patients with bacterial sinusitis, urinary tract infections, kidney infections, stomach infections, certain bone infections, the brain and spinal cord infections and other neurological infections.

Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone family. It is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including urinary tract, respiratory, and skin infections. It has a high potency against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, including those that cause infections of the skin, vagina, and sinus; on the other hand, certain Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria such as the bacteriaeously associated pseudomonal infections; and especially some types of bone and joint infections. Ciprofloxacin is effective against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis. It is also effective against Streptococcus pneumoniae and other Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria, including those associated with osteomyelitis. Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. It inhibits the enzyme beta-lactamase, preventing the bacterial cell wall from being fully broken down. Inhibiting beta-lactamase will reduce the growth and replication of the bacteria, which will aid the eradication of the infection.
Ciprofloxacin is available as aoral tablets and oral suspension. Ciprofloxacin is indicated to treat urinary tract, respiratory, and skin infections caused by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Enterobacter cloacae, Proteus vulgaris, Serratia marcescens, and Staphylococcus saprophyticus. Ciprofloxacin is also indicated for the treatment of skin and soft tissue infections due to Haemophilus influenzae, Neisseria gonorrhoeae, and Campylobacter jejuni. Ciprofloxacin is indicated for the treatment of infections of the skin and soft tissue due to Neisseria meningitis, Staphylococcus spp, Streptococcus faecalis, Streptococcus faecalis, Streptococcus faecium, Streptococcus faecium complicated by invasive Haemophilus influenzae, and Streptococcus faecalis isolated from children and adults with community-acquired pneumonia, as well as for the treatment of infections caused by Enterobacter cloacae.
Ciprofloxacin is effective against most Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. It also inhibits the enzymes DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV are essential enzymes in bacterial DNA replication and repair. DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV is required for the stability of bacterial chromosomes. Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against a wide range of Gram-negative and bacteria. It works by inhibiting the enzyme DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV. DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV is essential enzymes in bacterial DNA replication and repair. Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic effective against a wide range of Gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria.
Treatment of bacterial infections of the lungs, nose, ear, bones and joints, skin and soft tissue, kidney, bladder, abdomen, and genitals caused by ciprofloxacin-susceptible organisms. Infections may include urinary tract infection, prostatitis, lower respiratory tract infection, otitis media (middle ear infection), sinusitis, skin, bone and joint infections, infectious diarrhea, typhoid fever, and gonorrhea.
May be taken with or without food. May be taken w/ meals to minimise GI discomfort. Do not take w/ antacids, Fe or dairy products.

Ciprofloxacin is available in the following dosages:
For Oral Suspension (10 mg):
Ciprofloxacin can be used to treat a variety of bacterial infections in dogs and cats. It can be used in dogs and cats only when prescribed by a veterinarian. It should only be used in cases where the infection is suspected or confirmed in a dog or cat.

Prescribed for Urinary Tract Infection. Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic with bactericidal activity against a broad spectrum of gram-positive and gram-negative organisms. It is also effective against gram-negative bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterobacter cloacae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.
This medication may be used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
Ciprofloxacin was found to have the same bactericidal effect as other fluoroquinolones. However, this drug has not been shown to have the same activity against gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria. Ciprofloxacin is not a fluoroquinolone and is not an antibacterial agent.
It is also effective against gram-negative bacteria, including Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Staphylococcus epidermidis. Ciprofloxacin is not used for purposes not listed in this medication guide.
