About Cipro
Overview
Cipro contains ciprofloxacin, a prescription antibiotic in the fluoroquinolone family. It is used to treat certain bacterial infections, including infections of the urinary tract, lower respiratory tract, skin, bones and joints. It works by acting against bacteria that are sensitive to ciprofloxacin.
What it treats
In adults, Cipro is used for infections caused by susceptible bacteria, including: - Skin and soft tissue infections - Bone and joint infections - Complicated infections within the abdomen - Infectious diarrhea and typhoid fever - Uncomplicated gonorrhea of the cervix or urethra - Chronic bacterial prostatitis - Lower respiratory tract infections, including acute worsening of chronic bronchitis - Urinary tract infections, including acute uncomplicated cystitis - Acute sinusitis It is also used in adults and children for inhalational anthrax after exposure and for plague, and in children for complicated urinary tract infections and kidney infections (pyelonephritis).
Safety information
Side effects
Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, rash and abnormal liver function test results. Serious side effects may be disabling or permanent. Contact a doctor promptly for tendon inflammation or rupture, nerve damage, effects on the brain or nervous system, worsening of myasthenia gravis, or muscle and joint problems in children. Other serious risks include liver damage, severe diarrhea associated with Clostridioides difficile, increased sensitivity to sunlight, abnormal heart rhythms, and a bulge or tear in the wall of the aorta. Serious reactions can also occur when ciprofloxacin is taken with theophylline. Allergic reactions can be serious or fatal and may occur after the first or later doses. Stop taking ciprofloxacin and seek medical help immediately at the first sign of a rash, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or any allergic reaction. Stop taking it immediately and contact a doctor if signs or symptoms of liver inflammation occur.

When to call your doctor
If symptoms are severe or getting worse quickly, seek emergency care rather than waiting.
Before taking this medicine
Do not take Cipro if you are allergic to ciprofloxacin or other quinolones, or if you take tizanidine. Cipro should be avoided if you have a known prolonged QT interval (a heart rhythm abnormality), low blood potassium, or take other medicines that prolong the QT interval. Serious, sometimes fatal allergic reactions can occur, even after the first dose. Stop taking Cipro and seek medical help at the first sign of a rash, yellowing of the skin or eyes, or any allergic reaction. Stop treatment immediately if signs or symptoms of hepatitis occur. Diarrhea associated with Clostridioides difficile can occur; seek medical assessment if you develop symptoms of colitis. Breastfeeding is not recommended during treatment. You may pump and discard breast milk during treatment and for two days after the last dose. If Cipro is being used after exposure to inhalational anthrax, discuss the risks and benefits of continuing breastfeeding with your prescriber.
Interactions
Do not take Cipro with tizanidine: the combination can increase tizanidine’s blood-pressure-lowering and sedating effects. Ciprofloxacin should also be avoided with theophylline, duloxetine, zolpidem and medicines that prolong the QT interval, an electrical measure of heart rhythm. These include certain heart rhythm medicines, tricyclic antidepressants, macrolide antibiotics and antipsychotics. Serious and fatal reactions have been reported with theophylline. Tell your doctor if you take any of the following: • Oral diabetes medicines, particularly glyburide or glimepiride: dangerously low blood sugar, including fatal cases, has been reported. Blood sugar monitoring is needed. • Warfarin or other oral anticoagulants: their blood-thinning effect may increase. Clotting tests and monitoring for bleeding are needed during and shortly after combined treatment. • Phenytoin: levels may rise or fall, affecting seizure control or causing toxicity. Monitoring is needed during and shortly after combined treatment. • Cyclosporine: kidney function monitoring is needed. • Methotrexate: ciprofloxacin may increase its levels and the risk of toxic effects. • Ropinirole, clozapine or sildenafil: monitoring for increased side effects or toxicity may be needed. • NSAIDs, such as non-steroidal anti-inflammatory painkillers: seizures have been reported when these were combined with very high doses of quinolone antibiotics. The label excludes aspirin from this interaction. • Probenecid: it can raise ciprofloxacin levels and increase the risk of toxic effects. Also discuss caffeine and xanthine-related medicines, including pentoxifylline, because ciprofloxacin can increase their levels and prolong their effects. Antacids containing magnesium or aluminum, sucralfate, phosphate binders such as sevelamer or lanthanum carbonate, buffered didanosine, other highly buffered medicines, and supplements or multivitamins containing calcium, iron or zinc can reduce ciprofloxacin absorption. Dairy products can also reduce absorption. Ask your doctor or pharmacist how to separate these products from Cipro.
