Medically reviewed by Jamie Winn, Pharm.D

Written by Rajive Patel, B.Pharm

What is CIPRO?

CIPRO is the brand name for ciprofloxacin and is available as an oral tablet.

What dosages is CIPRO available in?

CIPRO is available as a 250 mg and 500 mg oral tablet as well as 250 mg/5 ml and 500 mg/5 ml oral suspension.

What is CIPRO used for?

CIPRO is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used for skin infections, bone and joint infections, sinus infections, lower respiratory tract infections, stomach infections, infectious diarrhea, typhoid fever, gonorrhea in the genitals, long-term prostate infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), anthrax exposure through inhalation, and plague.

How does CIPRO work?

CIPRO is a fluoroquinolone (or “quinolone”) antibiotic. It works by blocking certain enzymes (proteins) that bacteria use to grow and repair their genetic material (DNA) in order to survive. By blocking this process, the antibiotic kills bacteria.

CIPRO is typically taken twice a day for 7 to 14 days, depending on the infection being treated.

Is it safe for me to take CIPRO?

CIPRO is a safe and effective treatment when used for FDA licensed indications. However, like all medications, they may give you unwanted side effects. You should always discuss potential side effects with your physician to ensure the medication is suitable and right for you. You should not use this medication if you have a known hypersensitivity to CIPRO or other quinolones or are currently taking tizanidine.
