Why is Cipro prescribed?

Cipro (Ciprofloxacin) is prescribed to treat bacterial infections. It can also be used in combination with other medications.

What does it do?

Cipro belongs to a drug class called quinolone antibiotics or fluoroquinolones. It works by halting the growth of bacteria. It kills the bacteria by obstructing the chemicals that the bacteria need to reproduce and repair.

It is normally taken twice a day (every 12 hours/morning and evening) with or without a meal. Do not stop taking the full regimen as prescribed even if the symptoms subside after a few days. Do not crush, split, or chew, it should be swallowed whole with water.

What if I missed a dose?

If a dose was missed, take it immediately upon recall. Otherwise, you may skip a dose (if almost time for the next dose or less than 6 hours to the next dose) and take the next one as per your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to replace the missed dosage.
