Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat bacterial infections. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria, which then leads to the destruction of the infected cell.
This drug may also be used to treat bacterial vaginosis. Ciprofloxacin is also used to treat infections caused by a virus calledchlamydiaand gonorrhea.
Ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting the production of a specific enzyme calledquinolone-inducedprotease. This enzyme breaks down the bacterial DNA in the cervix and uterus, resulting in the death of the bacterial cells. It inhibits bacterial growth by inhibiting the replication of the bacterial DNA.
When ciprofloxacin is used to treat an infection, it will affect the body's natural processes, causing the infection.
Ciprofloxacin is the only approved antibiotic for use in children and adolescents. However, it should be used with caution in children and adolescents who are at high risk of developing certain infections.

The dosage and frequency of administration may vary depending on the condition being treated and the severity of the infection. However, the usual course of treatment is one course of ciprofloxacin every 12 hours.
The duration of treatment depends on the type of infection being treated and the severity of the infection. In a typical case, treatment with ciprofloxacin for 10 days is recommended. In cases where more severe infections may require more frequent treatment, the dose and frequency of administration may be increased to one course of ciprofloxacin.
For uncomplicated gonorrhea, the usual course of treatment is one course of ciprofloxacin every 12 hours. Treatment may be continued in cases where the severity of the infection is more severe or if the infection is accompanied by fever, rash, swollen lymph glands, and vomiting.
