How Ciprofloxacin works

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.

When to consult your doctor

Consult your doctor if you experience:

• impairment of vision, taste and smell and hearing, depression, memory impairment, severe fatigue and severe sleep disorders
• severe allergic reaction with symptoms such as tightness in the chest, feeling dizzy, feeling sick, faint, and experience dizziness while standing
• impairment of eyesight, taste, smelling, hearing
• pain and swelling of tendons (Ex. in your ankle, wrist, elbow, shoulder or knee), difficulty in walking
• rapid irregular heartbeat
• fits, neurological disease, psychosis, nerve pain, painful urination, presence of crystals in urine

There may be some side effects that are dangerous to consider immediately. If you notice severe side effects and any other side effects that are not distressing but become treatment breaths while taking Ciprofloxacin, seek medical attention immediately and name them. In the event that you notice the symptoms which are similar but not all of the time, contact your doctor.
