Ciprofloxacin 500 mg Film Coated Tablets (Pack of 100)

Ciprofloxacin 500 mg is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic formulated to treat a variety of bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections (UTI), gastrointestinal infections, and infections affecting the skin or soft tissues. It works against susceptible bacteria, and the decision to use it should be made by a healthcare professional based on the infection and the patient’s individual circumstances. Ciprofloxacin is intended for bacterial infections and does not treat viral illnesses such as the common cold or flu. A healthcare professional may consider factors such as the type and severity of the infection, the patient’s medical history, and any other medicines being taken when deciding whether this treatment is appropriate. Antibiotics are not suitable for every infection, and the choice of antibiotic may depend on test results, local guidance, and the patient’s response to treatment. Each film-coated tablet is designed for smooth swallowing and absorption. The convenient tablet form makes it easy to take as directed by a healthcare professional, whether as part of a short-term or longer prescribed treatment course. Take it only in the dose and for the duration prescribed; do not change the dose or stop treatment early without consulting the prescriber, even if symptoms improve. Do not take extra tablets to make up for a dose unless a healthcare professional tells you to. Follow the directions provided with your prescription, and ask a healthcare professional or pharmacist if you are unsure how to take a dose or what to do if you miss one. Tell the prescriber about any allergies, existing health conditions, or medicines and supplements you use before starting treatment, as this information can help them assess whether ciprofloxacin is suitable for you. Be sure to mention any previous reaction to an antibiotic, and ask whether any of your other medicines need to be taken at a different time. If you have questions about how or when to take the tablets, or experience an unexpected reaction, contact a healthcare professional for advice. Like other medicines, ciprofloxacin can cause side effects, and not everyone will experience them. Seek prompt medical advice if you develop a severe or worrying reaction while taking the medicine. In particular, promptly report symptoms such as tendon pain or swelling, unusual tingling or numbness, marked muscle weakness, or a severe change in mood or behaviour. Always follow the prescribed dose and complete the course as advised. Pack includes 10 blister strips of 10 tablets each, for a total of 100 tablets (10 x 10), with the tablets arranged in individual blister compartments for convenient storage and handling. Keep the tablets in their original packaging and store them as directed on the product packaging, out of the reach of children. Check the packaging for any additional storage instructions, and do not use tablets past the expiry date. This product should be used only by the person for whom it was prescribed and should not be shared with others, even if they appear to have similar symptoms. If the infection does not improve, gets worse, or returns after treatment, contact the prescriber rather than taking leftover tablets or seeking another course without medical advice.
