How It Works?

Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that binds to DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV and blocks their ability to make DNA. These enzymes block the growth of the bacteria and bacteria survival, thus giving them antibacterial action against susceptible bacteria.

Resistance can occur if antibiotics are not given when they are needed or the wrong doses are prescribed, so ciprofloxacin should be used for the proper treatment of bacterial infections and according to the proper dosage directions.

Important Precautions

• Ciprofloxacin is important to note that it has certain precautions. Long-term use of the fluoroquinolones has been linked to rare, serious side effects, such as tendinitis, tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, and effects on the central nervous system (CNS) and worsening muscle weakness in individuals with MG.
• Patients should tell their doctor about tendon disorders, neurological problems, myasthenia gravis, heart rhythm problems, kidney disease and all current medicines.
• Some medicines and products can interact with ciprofloxacin that will decrease the amount of drug absorbed into the body. Read the instructions for administration given by the prescriber or on the label of the product.
• Avoid using ciprofloxacin for infections caused by viruses, unless you have been told to use it for another infection you have been diagnosed with. Only complete or change treatment as and when professionally advised.

Storage

• Keep in a cool, dry place.
• Keep away from moisture and high temperatures.
• Tablets should be stored in their original packaging.
• Avoid access by children.
• Please store according to the label directions that have been approved.
