What is Ciprofloxacin?
Active Ingredients: Ciprofloxacin
Ciprofloxacin Injection is an antibiotic drug used in the treatment or prevention of bacterial infections. This medication is used to treat infections in many areas of the body, including the lungs, urinary tract, genital tract, gastrointestinal (GI) tract, skin and soft tissue, eyes, and bones and joints.
This medication is also used as post-exposure prophylaxis and curative treatment for anthrax inhalation. It may also be used to prevent or treat plague.
Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic. It works by interfering with the enzymes responsible for DNA replication, which stops protein synthesis.
This injection has been manufactured as a sterile, single-dose container for intravenous administration.
