Ciprofloxacin is used to treat or prevent certain infections caused by bacteria. It is prescribed for the treatment of pneumonia, gonorrhoea (a sexually transmitted disease), typhoid fever (a serious infection that is common in developing countries), infectious diarrhoea (infections that cause severe diarrhoea), and infections of the skin, bone, joint, abdomen (stomach area), and prostate (male reproductive gland).
Ciprofloxacin contains an antibiotic, 'Ciprofloxacin', which is bactericidal in nature and works by killing bacteria that cause infections. It prevents the bacteria from reproducing and reduces the number of bacteria that cause them.
It is a prescription-only medication. If you are planning to have a surgery or would like more information on Ciprofloxacin, you must read this leaflet provided with it.

Quinolones
Use in Children 2-11 yearsGeneral: In unconsciousway, Ciprofloxacin can cause blurred or double vision, NAION (non-vascular NAION) and NAION with conjunctival injection.
In children under 2 years, Ciprofloxacin may cause pneumonia. In children under 2 years, Amoxicillin-clavulanate may relieve symptoms and reduce the growth of pneumonia-causing bacteria. Children under 2 years often have delayed development w/ pneumonias. Ciprofloxacin must be given w/ blood transfusion and not to viral or fungal infections, including pneumonia. Ciprofloxacin should not be given to children with QT prolongation, torsades de pointes, or uncorrected hypokalaemia. Quinolone-class drugs can cause QT prolongation, torsades de pointes, or uncorrected hypomagnesaemia. Ciprofloxacin should not be given to children w/ liver or kidney disease or those with a history of heart attack or stroke.
Use in Children: Children 2-11 years: • Infants 1 month to 2 years: • Children 3 months to 11 years: • Children 4 weeks to 10 years: • Children 11 months to 17 years: • Children 18 years or older: • Adults: • Dose 50 mg twice daily; may be increased to 1,000 mg twice daily if dose not determined by the child.Treatment of bacterial infections of the stomach, duodenum, or jejunum caused by ciprofloxacin-susceptible organisms. Infections may include urinary tract infection, prostatitis, lower respiratory tract infection, otitis media, sinusitis, skin and bone and joint infections, infectious diarrhea, typhoid fever, and gonorrhea.
Caregivers of children with bacterial infections of the duodenum, stomach, or jejunum, and small intestinal pathogens may benefit from antibiotics such as ciprofloxacin. Patients often have diarrhea and vomiting associated with antibiotic therapy.
Cipro has been shown to cause some side effects. Talk to your health care provider if these mild reactions do not go away within a few days.
Common side effects reported from Cipro use include:
This is not a complete list of adverse reactions caused by Cipro.Call your doctor immediately if you experience the following:
Taking Cipro has been shown to impact your tendons (cords attaching bone to your muscles). It can increase your risk of developing tendonitis or a tendon rupture, especially if you’re over 60, taking steroid medications, or have a history of tendon problems.
Cipro can interact with other medications and substances, causing potentially serious side effects or allergic reactions. Tell your doctor if you are taking muscle relaxers such as tizanidine (Zanaflex), phosphodiesterase 5 (PDE5) inhibitors such as sildenafil, anticoagulants (blood thinners), antidepressants, antipsychotics, diuretics, insulin, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) like ibuprofen or naproxen.
This is not a complete list of Cipro drug interactions, so discuss any medications you’re on, even if you don’t see them listed here. Cipro can cause low blood sugar in some patients. Be wary of low blood pressure symptoms such as blurred vision, fatigue, confusion, pale skin, and cold sweats. Watch for these adverse effects if you have diabetes, and take diabetes medication orally. These could be signs of hypoglycemia and could lead to unconsciousness.
The U. S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has found that, while rare, fluoroquinolone antibiotics like Cipro can increase the occurrence of severe ruptures or tears in your aorta (a large artery that begins in the heart). These ruptures can lead to dangerous aortic bleeding, a heart attack, or even death, so people at risk for cardiac problems should be cautious about taking Cipro.
Be sure to tell your doctor if you have been diagnosed with or have a history of other medical conditions, including a prolonged QT interval (a rare heart problem that may cause an irregular heartbeat, fainting, or sudden death), aneurysms, kidney disease, liver disease, heart disease, myasthenia gravis (severe muscle weakness), seizures, or diabetes. Cipro can also significantly increase theophylline levels in your blood, leading to serious illness or death. This is not a comprehensive list of medical conditions that Cipro may affect, so speak with your doctor about your medical history before taking Cipro.
Cipro can cause your skin to become sensitive to sunlight or ultraviolet light, so try to avoid unnecessary sun exposure and do your best to wear protective clothing, sunglasses, or sunscreen that is SPF 15 or higher. Call your doctor if you notice redness, swelling, or blistering from sun exposure while on Cipro.
As with all prescription medication, inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been diagnosed with and any medications or supplements you currently take before starting treatment. Antacids can reduce the amount of Cipro that your body absorbs, so be sure to take them at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking antacid medications.
In addition, let your doctor know if you are breastfeeding, pregnant, or planning on becoming pregnant before starting treatment with this medication.

Objective:To compare the value of ciprofloxacin HCl and the pka value of ciprofloxacin. The results are expressed as means ± SEM. In a pilot experiment, we found that the values of ciprofloxacin were 0.098 ± 0.05 and 0.087 ± 0.05 for Cipro® and Cipro® + HCl, respectively, in the present study. Our results indicate that the value of ciprofloxacin was very low. In addition, the value of the pka value of ciprofloxacin was very high (0.1).
