Ciprofloxacin bnf<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Ciprofloxacin bnf is used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Ciprofloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for virus infections (such as common cold<\/a>,\u00a0flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

How to use ciprofloxacin bnf<\/h3>\n
\n
\n

Read the\u00a0Medication<\/a>\u00a0Guide and, if available, the Patient Information Leaflet provided by your\u00a0pharmacist\u00a0before you start taking\u00a0ciprofloxacin\u00a0and each time you get a refill. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.<\/p>\n

This medication may be taken with or without food as directed by your doctor, usually twice a day (every 12 hours) in the morning and evening.<\/p>\n

Shake the container well for 15 seconds before pouring each dose. Carefully measure the dose using a special measuring device\/spoon. Do not use a household spoon because you may not get the correct dose. Do not chew the contents of the suspension.<\/p>\n

Do not use the suspension with feeding tubes because the suspension may clog the tube.<\/p>\n

\n

<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The dosage and length of treatment is based on your medical condition and response to treatment. Drink plenty of fluids while taking this medication unless your doctor tells you otherwise.<\/p>\n

Take this medication at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after taking other products that may bind to it, decreasing its effectiveness. Ask your pharmacist about the other products you take. Some examples include:\u00a0quinapril,\u00a0sevelamer, sucralfate,\u00a0vitamins\/minerals\u00a0(including iron and zinc\u00a0supplements), and products containing\u00a0magnesium, aluminum, or\u00a0calcium<\/a>\u00a0(such as antacids, didanosine solution,\u00a0calcium supplements).<\/p>\n

Calcium-rich foods, including dairy products (such as milk, yogurt) or\u00a0calcium-enriched juice, can also decrease the effect of this medication. Take this medication at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after eating calcium-rich foods, unless you are eating these foods as part of a larger meal that contains other (non-calcium-rich) foods. These other foods decrease the calcium binding effect.<\/p>\n

Ask your doctor or pharmacist about safely using nutritional supplements\/replacements with this medication.<\/p>\n

\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

For the best effect, take this antibiotic at evenly spaced times. To help you remember, take this medication at the same time(s) every day.<\/p>\n

Continue to take this medication until the full prescribed amount is finished, even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may result in a return of the infection.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
