The anthrax scare doing the rounds in the world and the development of anthrax bacteria as a potential biological weapon has drawn considerable attention to cipro.
It is used to treat adults as well as children exposed to anthrax bacillus. Cipro or ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, an antibiotic is used to treat a wide range of bacterial infection. Available in tablet, liquid and as an oral suspension, cipro is used to treat pneumonia, bronchitis, typhoid, gonorrhea and bone, joint, skin, prostate, sinus and other infections in the urinary tract. Cipro is not at all effective in case of common cold and flu as they are caused by virus. Cipro belongs to the class of fluoroquinolones which has the potential to kill many kinds of bacterium. It is also used to treat patients with cystic fibrosis and lung infections. Cipro has also found use in ear infections, tuberculosis and infections affecting people with AIDS.
Antacids having calcium, magnesium or aluminium must not be taken with cipro. These decrease the effect of the antibiotic. The antibiotic must be taken following strictly the instructions given by the doctor. The full course of cipro must be taken even if the symptoms start disappearing faster. Bacterial infection medication and other prescription drugs must be evaluated to check for chemical interaction. Cipro might cause slight side-effects like nausea and allergies, but they will vanish when the course of the drug is completed.
Disclaimer: Go for your online pharmacy for Cipro and generic Cipro. Always follow the instructions of your doctor when taking the medications.
