Ciprofloxacin Prescription

Ciloxan eye drops and eye ointment contain the active ingredient ciprofloxacin, which is a type of drug called a quinolone antibiotic. Antibiotics are prescribed to treat infections caused by bacteria.

Ciprofloxacin is effective against a large number of bacteria, some of which tend to be resistant to other commonly prescribed antibiotics.

Ciprofloxacin works by killing the bacteria that are causing an eye infection. It does this by entering the bacterial cells and inhibiting a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase. This enzyme is involved in replicating and repairing the genetic material of the bacteria. If this enzyme doesn't work, the bacteria cannot reproduce or repair themselves and this kills the bacteria.

Ciprofloxacin eye drops and eye ointment are administered into the eye to treat various types of bacterial eye infections. Administering them directly into the eye allows the ciprofloxacin to act directly on the bacteria that are causing the infection.

Why is Ciprofloxacin prescribed?

- ulcers on the front part of the eye;
- bacterial infection of the eyelids;
- bacterial conjunctivitis;

Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride is an antibiotic prescribed to treat infections of:
- Cystitis in women;
- The abdomen;
- The bones and joints;
- The lower respiratory tract;
- The skin;
- The urinary tract;

Ciprofloxacin is also prescribed for:
- Infections of the prostate gland;
- Infectious diarrhea;
- Inhalational anthrax;
- Severe sinus or bronchial infections;
- Some sexually transmitted diseases such as gonorrhea;
- Typhoid fever;

Additionally, some doctors prescribe Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride for:
- Tuberculosis;
- Some of the infections common in people with AIDS;
- Certain serious ear infections;

Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride may also be prescribed for children with a urinary tract infection or kidney infection when other antibiotics are not effective.

Because Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride is effective only for certain types of bacterial infections, before beginning treatment your doctor may perform tests to identify the specific organisms causing your infection.

Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride is available as a tablet and an oral suspension. Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride HC Otic is a suspension that also contains the anti-inflammatory drug hydrocortisone; it's prescribed externally to treat ear infections.

Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride XR, an extended-release form of the drug, is prescribed to treat cystitis, urinary tract infection, and kidney infection.

Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride kills a variety of bacteria, and is frequently prescribed to treat infections in many parts of the body. However, be sure to stop taking Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride and notify your doctor immediately at the first sign of a skin rash or any other allergic reaction. Although quite rare, serious and occasionally fatal allergic reactions--some following the first dose--have been reported in people receiving this type of antibacterial drug. Some reactions have been accompanied by collapse of:
- Hives;
- Itching;
- Loss of consciousness;
- Shortness of breath;
- Swelling of the face and throat;
- The circulatory system;
- Tingling;

Fever and jaundice are other potential symptoms that should send you to the doctor immediately.

Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride can be taken with food or on an empty stomach. Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride should not be taken with dairy products or calcium-fortified juices alone; however, Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride may be taken with a meal that contains these products. Drink plenty of fluids while taking Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride to prevent crystals from forming in your urine.

Like other antibiotics, Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride works best when there is a constant amount in the blood and urine. To help keep the level constant, try not to miss any dose, and take them at approximately the same time every day.

Your doctor will only prescribe Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride to treat a bacterial infection; it will not cure a viral infection, such as the common cold. It's important to take the full dosage schedule of Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, even if you're feeling better in a few days. Not completing the full dosage schedule may decrease the drug's effectiveness and increase the chances that the bacteria may become resistant to Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride and similar antibiotics.

If you are taking the oral suspension, be sure to shake the bottle vigorously for 15 seconds before each dose. Swallow without chewing the microcapsules in the suspension. Reclose the bottle completely, following the instructions on the cap.

Do not use Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride HC Otic suspension in your eyes, and avoid contaminating the dropper by letting it touch your ears, fingers, or other surfaces. To administer the ear drops:
- Have the person lie down with the affected ear up;
- Shake the bottle then position the filled dropper above the entrance to the ear canal;
- Squeeze 3 drops into the ear The person should not get up for 30 to 60 seconds after the drops have been given;
- Throw away any suspension that remains after treatment is finished;
- Warm the otic suspension by holding the bottle in your hand for a minute or two; putting a cold suspension into the ear can cause dizziness;
