Cipro® (ciprofloxacin) is a antibiotic that fights bacterial infections. It’s also used for treating a variety of sexually transmitted infections (STIs), including chlamydia, gonorrhea, and syphilis. It’s available in a variety of strengths and in a variety of formulations, including capsules, syrups, powder, and liquid suspensions. When taken orally, ciprofloxacin can be absorbed through the gut, which can lead to a reduced risk of diarrhea when taken during a meal.
Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that’s effective against a variety of bacterial infections, including:
Ciprofloxacin’s mechanism of action is similar to the antibiotic that’s often used to treat respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, and skin infections.
When taken orally, ciprofloxacin is absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract through the gut. This means that it’s taken orally at the same time every day. It’s a faster-acting antibiotic because it’s taken at a lower dose.
Ciprofloxacin is usually taken for seven to 10 days at a time. Depending on your body’s needs, it may take up to 12 weeks to start working.
Ciprofloxacin is generally taken for several days, usually on or after a meal.
Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic that’s effective against a variety of bacterial infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria.

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.
