Effectiveness
How Ciprofloxacin Affects PatientsCiprofloxacin is an antibiotic that works on both bacteria and viruses. It stops bacteria from growing by binding to their DNA and disrupting the way they reproduce. It is different from other antibiotics because it does not have a resistance to other classes of antibiotics, so it can be useful when other treatments fail. It is also being studied for its possible use in treating malaria, cancer, and AIDS.
How Ciprofloxacin works in the bodyCiprofloxacin stops bacteria from replicating by targeting their DNA gyrase, which helps keep their DNA wound up. By preventing the gyrase from working properly, Ciprofloxacin stops the bacteria's DNA from being able to replicate.
When to interrupt dosage
The recommended portion of Ciprofloxacin is contingent upon the noted condition, including Proteus mirabilis, Conjunctivitis and Cystitis. The dose also deviates in light of the mode of administration (e.g. Kit; Powder, for suspension - Oral or Kit; Suspension) as stated in the table below.Condition

Ciprofloxacin Toxicity & Overdose RiskAn overdose of ciprofloxacin may lead to nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, urinary crystals, reduced kidney function, and decreased urine production. Depending on the severity of the overdose, patients may need prednisone, dialysis, or supportive care. Animal studies have shown that doses higher than the recommended dose may cause gastrointestinal issues in the mother and potentially lead to miscarriage. Mutagenicity tests have yielded positive results in some cases, but no carcinogenicity or tumorigenicity has been shown in rats and mice at doses of up to 300 times the maximum recommended clinical dose. Fertility of rats has not been affected by

Ciprofloxacin Reviews: What are patients saying about Ciprofloxacin?
5Patient Review
12/28/2021 Not only did this effectively treat my UTI, but it also cleared up my SIBO symptoms. Much more expensive antibiotics haven't been able to do that, so I'm really happy with this treatment.
4.7Patient Review
2/25/2022 I had been struggling with chronic sinusitis for years and even had two surgeries. When things got really bad, my doctor prescribed me amoxicillin; while it did help somewhat, I decided to do my own research and purchased Cipro in Europe without a prescription. Immediately after taking the recommended dosage (250mg 2x day), I felt incredible-- better than I ever thought possible.
4.3Patient Review
9/22/2020 Worked well for the infection but had a terrible side effect.I had pain and swelling on my wrist which I was told was due to tendon rupture-an adverse effect of ciprofloxacin i was not warned of.
4.3Patient Review
5/1/2021 I am a female age 68 and by 3rd day I had relief. I drank 3 quarts of water daily and had no problems. I read everything provided. No sugar and no alcohol. Worked fine for me!
3Patient Review
12/22/2020 The side effects were really tough to get through, but the medication started working after a few days. I had chills and shakes, pain in my limbs and back, and my urine smelled incredibly strong (which I wasn't expecting). If you can make it past the initial hurdle, this treatment is worth it.
Patient Q&A Section about ciprofloxacin
These questions and answers are submitted by anonymous patients, and have not been verified by our internal team.Is Cipro a strong antibiotic?
"The best antibiotic is the one that will kill the specific type of bacteria causing the infection and that is not too toxic for the person who is taking it.
Ciprofloxacin is quite a strong antibiotic, however, there are other stronger antibiotics that can treat more types of infections. The best antibiotic is the one that will kill the specific type of bacteria causing the infection."
