Ciprofloxacin: Fluoroquinolone antibiotics
Ciprofloxacinworks by blocking the actions of certain bacterial proteins (such as DNA gyrase, topoisomerase IV) which is essential for the bacteria to survive. As a result, it destroys the susceptible bacteria and prevent their further growth and multiplication within the body which helps in reducing the severity of the infection.

The usual dosage of Ciprofloxacin is one tablet (250 mg) taken once a day with or without food. Some people can take more than one dose of Ciprofloxacin.
When taken with other medications, some people may experience notable interactions. One known risk factor for serious interactions with Ciprofloxacin is the use of antibiotics. People who have a history of cardiovascular disease, stroke or having a recent history of liver or kidney disease have been shown to have increased risk for interactions. This is the most recent study we have ever shown that we've ever seen showing an interaction with Ciprofloxacin.
If you miss a dose of Ciprofloxacin, take it as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for the next dose, wait until then and contact your doctor to skip the missed dose. Do not take a double dose to make up for a previously scheduled one.
