Ophthalmic ciprofloxacin comes as a solution (liquid) to apply to the eyes. Ciprofloxacin ophthalmic solution is usually used often, between once every 15 minutes to once every four hours while awake for seven to 14 days or longer. Ciprofloxacin ophthalmic ointment is usually applied three times a day for two days and then twice a day for five days. Use ciprofloxacin ophthalmic at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use ciprofloxacin ophthalmic exactly as directed. Do not use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.

You should expect your symptoms to improve during your treatment. Call your doctor if your symptoms do not go away or get worse, or if you develop other problems with your eyes during your treatment.

Use ophthalmic ciprofloxacin until you finish the prescription, even if you feel better. If you stop using ophthalmic ciprofloxacin too soon, your infection may not be completely cured and the bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics.

Product Description

Ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic, is effective against a wide range of bacterial infections, including pneumonia, urinary tract infections, skin infections, bone and joint infections, and sexually transmitted diseases. Ciprofloxacin is a powerful antibiotic that belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase, a type of enzyme essential for bacterial DNA replication, and thus killing the bacteria. This mechanism allows Ciprofloxacin to penetrate the cells and reach the site of infection. The drug's efficacy in treating respiratory, urinary tract, and skin infections is well-documented. Ciprofloxacin is also effective against sexually transmitted diseases, such as syphilis, gonorrhoea, and chlamydia. Its potency and effectiveness makes it a popular choice for treating conditions such as skin infections and chlamydia.

FAQs of Ciprofloxacin:

Q: What is the dosage for Ciprofloxacin?

Q: Can Ciprofloxacin be taken with food?

Yes, in case of consumption of dairy products. The drug can be taken with or without food. The recommended daily dosage for children and adolescents is 5-10 mg per kg of body weight every 12 hours, taken orally.

Q: What are the side effects of Ciprofloxacin?

The most common side effects of Ciprofloxacin are nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and skin rashes. In rare cases, more serious side effects such as Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) or toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) have been reported. These side effects are usually mild and subside once the patient is well tolerated. The drug can also cause tendonitis, tendinitis, tendon rupture, or tendonitis/myasthenia gravis. In rare cases, Ciprofloxacin may cause kidney failure. The drug should be used with caution in patients with severe renal insufficiency (creatinine clearance <30 mL/min).

Ciprofloxacin is contraindicated in patients with liver or kidney problems, as the drug can cause liver toxicity.
