Overview
Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic reserved for specific infections when benefits outweigh risks. We follow FDA safety communications and antibiotic‑stewardship principles to minimize avoidable harms.
When clinicians consider Ciprofloxacin (Cipro)
- Selected urinary or gastrointestinal infections where ciprofloxacin is appropriate per clinician judgment.
- Infections requiring culture‑guided therapy and risk–benefit assessment.
- Avoided when safer effective alternatives exist for common conditions.
Stewardship
Your plan may include targeted testing, narrow‑spectrum choices, or non‑antibiotic care when appropriate.
Follow‑up
We monitor response and adverse effects, adjusting the plan as needed.
Safety & interactions
- Fluoroquinolones carry boxed warnings: tendinitis/tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, CNS effects, and myasthenia gravis exacerbation.
- Medication list and risk factors (e.g., steroids, age) are reviewed carefully.
- Use only when benefits justify risks; not a first‑line agent for many conditions.
Use medicines exactly as directed. Never share prescription medication.
