Ciprofloxacin - Overview

Ciprofloxacin, marketed under the brand name Cipro, is an antibiotic medication prescribed to people for selected bacterial infections. Push Health connects people who might need a ciprofloxacin prescription with a medical provider who can prescribe the medication when appropriate to do so.

What Is Ciprofloxacin Used For?

Ciprofloxacin is indicated for use in adults with various types of infections, including complicated urinary tract infections, certain gastrointestinal infections, and other susceptible infections when alternatives are limited. The medication is often reserved for cases where other antibiotics are not suitable. The medication works by inhibiting DNA replication through blocking bacterial enzymes.

Ciprofloxacin belongs to a class of medications known as fluoroquinolone antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin is in a similar class to levofloxacin (Levaquin), moxifloxacin (Avelox, Vigamox) and ofloxacin (Ocuflox). The medication is combined with dexamethasone (Decadron, TaperDex) in the ear medication Ciprodex.

Ciprofloxacin - Dosage And Cost

Ciprofloxacin is often prescribed as 250 mg to 500 mg taken twice daily for adults but other courses may be recommended, depending on what is being treated. It should generally be taken with a full glass of water and separated from antacids, iron, calcium, zinc, and dairy by several hours. Ciprofloxacin is usually available as 250 mg and 500 mg tablets and oral suspensions.

Ciprofloxacin is considered affordable and is available at many pharmacies for less than fifty cents per pill. Depending on one's insurance, medication costs may be covered. Prescription discount coupons are sometimes available to help reduce the cost of the medication.
