Always follow your doctor’s prescription. Dosage depends entirely on your specific infection and overall health. Typical prescriptions range from one to two 500mg tablets twice daily, for 7-14 days.
Take Ciprofloxacin with a full glass of water. Avoid taking it with dairy products or antacids, as these can reduce absorption.
Swallow the tablet whole; do not crush or chew it.
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember, unless it’s almost time for your next dose. Never double up on doses.
Complete the full course of antibiotics, even if you start feeling better. Stopping early can lead to resistant bacteria.
Report any side effects to your doctor immediately. Common side effects include diarrhea, nausea, and stomach pain. Severe side effects, such as tendon pain or allergic reactions, require immediate medical attention.
Proper storage is crucial. Keep Ciprofloxacin tablets in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep out of reach of children.
