Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat certain bacterial infections when a healthcare professional determines that it is appropriate. Browse our available ciprofloxacin products to compare formulations, strengths, pack options and current prices. Because the appropriate ciprofloxacin product depends on the infection, formulation and individual patient factors, select the medicine and strength specified by your healthcare professional rather than choosing an antibiotic by price or strength alone.
Compare Ciprofloxacin Products
Ciprofloxacin is the active ingredient rather than a single brand. Products containing ciprofloxacin may therefore be sold under different brand names and by different manufacturers. When comparing options, check the active ingredient, strength, dosage form, manufacturer and pack information on the individual product page.
Our current selection includes different ciprofloxacin presentations. You can view Ciprofloxacin 250mg tablets, Ciprofloxacin 500mg tablets and Ciprofloxacin 750mg tablets. A Ciprofloxacin 0.3% eye/ear preparation is also listed. These formulations and strengths are not interchangeable simply because they contain the same active ingredient; follow the prescription and directions provided for the specific product.
What Is Ciprofloxacin?
Ciprofloxacin is an antibacterial medicine in the fluoroquinolone class. It works against susceptible bacteria and is prescribed for certain bacterial infections. The infections for which it is appropriate vary according to factors such as the bacteria involved, infection site, local treatment guidance and patient-specific considerations.
Like other antibiotics, ciprofloxacin does not treat viral infections such as colds or influenza. Unnecessary antibiotic use can contribute to antimicrobial resistance, so ciprofloxacin should be used only when appropriately prescribed or recommended by a qualified healthcare professional.
Choosing a Ciprofloxacin Product
Strength is only one part of selecting the correct medicine. Before ordering, compare the product details with your prescription and check:
• Active ingredient: confirm that the medicine contains ciprofloxacin in the prescribed form.
• Strength: verify the strength specified by your healthcare professional.
• Dosage form: tablets and ophthalmic or otic preparations are intended for different routes of administration.
• Brand and manufacturer: these can differ between products containing the same active ingredient.
• Pack and price: review current pack options and pricing on the individual product page.
Do not select a higher-strength tablet as a substitute for a prescribed lower strength unless your healthcare professional or pharmacist specifically confirms that substitution is appropriate.
Important Ciprofloxacin Safety Information
Ciprofloxacin can cause important adverse effects and interactions. Fluoroquinolones have been associated with serious reactions involving tendons, peripheral nerves and the central nervous system, and ciprofloxacin may worsen muscle weakness in people with myasthenia gravis. Discuss your medical history and other medicines with a healthcare professional before treatment.
Some antacids, mineral supplements and products containing substances such as calcium, iron, magnesium or zinc can interfere with oral ciprofloxacin absorption when taken too close to a dose. Other clinically important medicine interactions are also possible. Follow the instructions supplied with your specific medicine and ask a doctor or pharmacist how to separate interacting products when necessary.
Ordering Ciprofloxacin Online
When comparing ciprofloxacin online, use the individual product pages to review the current formulation, strength, pack information, price and other product-specific details. Prescription and dispensing requirements differ between countries and jurisdictions. Where a prescription or other authorization is required, follow the applicable requirements and your healthcare professional’s instructions.
Use ciprofloxacin exactly as directed and complete the prescribed treatment unless a healthcare professional tells you otherwise or you develop a serious reaction requiring urgent medical advice. If you are unsure which ciprofloxacin product corresponds to your prescription, confirm the active ingredient, strength and dosage form with a pharmacist or prescriber before ordering.
