Ciflox 500mg Tablet 10s (Strip)

Ciflox 500mg Tablet is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic containing ciprofloxacin hydrochloride as its active ingredient. It is used to treat various bacterial infections. If you're starting this medication, you're probably wondering how it fits into your routine — it is usually taken orally twice daily with plenty of fluids, and maintaining good hydration helps support kidney function during treatment. Some people experience nausea, diarrhoea, or headache, but fluoroquinolone antibiotics like ciprofloxacin have important safety considerations. They have been linked to rare but serious reactions involving tendons, nerves, and the central nervous system, which may occur shortly after starting treatment or even after completing the course. Because of these risks, ciprofloxacin is generally reserved for infections where other antibiotics may not be suitable. Stop taking the medication and contact your doctor immediately if you experience tendon pain, swelling, numbness, tingling, or unusual mood or behavioural changes.

The usual adult dose ranges from 250mg to 750mg every 12 hours, depending on the type and severity of infection. The duration of treatment varies according to the condition being treated. Patients with significant kidney impairment may require dose adjustments, so always follow your doctor's prescribed regimen.

Store the tablets at room temperature, away from direct sunlight, heat, and moisture. Keep them in their original packaging and out of reach of children.

Swallow the tablet whole with a full glass of water. Take it at evenly spaced intervals, usually every 12 hours, exactly as prescribed by your doctor. Drink plenty of fluids during treatment. Avoid taking it at the same time as dairy products, calcium-fortified drinks, or antacids containing magnesium or aluminium, as these may reduce absorption.

• Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride – a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, preventing bacterial growth and replication.

• Known allergy or hypersensitivity to ciprofloxacin, other quinolone antibiotics, or any ingredient in the formulation
• Concurrent use with tizanidine due to risk of serious drug interaction
• Previous tendon disorders associated with fluoroquinolone use
• Myasthenia gravis, as symptoms may worsen
• Caution advised in patients above 60 years, those taking corticosteroids, or patients with kidney, heart, or lung transplants due to increased tendon rupture risk

• Use in children is generally avoided unless specifically recommended by a doctor for certain infections

Ciflox should not be taken with tizanidine, as this combination may cause serious adverse effects. Dairy products, calcium-fortified juices, and antacids containing magnesium or aluminium can reduce ciprofloxacin absorption and should be separated from the dose by several hours. Ciprofloxacin may also interact with medicines such as theophylline, warfarin, and corticosteroids, increasing the risk of side effects. Always inform your doctor or pharmacist about all medicines and supplements you are taking.
