Cipro (generic brand: Ciprofloxacin HCl)

Uses
CIPRO is an antibiotic used to treat a wide variety of bacterial infections.

How to take this medication
Cipro may be taken with or without food. It is recommended you drink plenty of fluids while taking this medication unless your doctor directs you otherwise. Shake well before using each dose. Do not chew the contents of the suspension. Take exactly as directed by your doctor. If you take any of the following products, take them 6 hours before or 2 hours after taking CIPRO: zinc, iron, mineral supplements, sucralfate, didanosine, antacids that contain magnesium, calcium, or aluminum, and certain foods containing calcium (e.g., milk, yogurt, and calcium-enriched orange juice). Antibiotics work best when the amount of medicine in your body is kept at a constant level. Do this by taking the medication at evenly spaced intervals throughout the day and night. Continue to take CIPRO until the full prescribed amount is finished even if symptoms disappear after a few days. Stopping the medication too early may allow bacteria to continue to grow resulting in a relapse of the infection. This form of ciprofloxacin is not for use with feeding tubes because the drug may clog the tube.

Side Effects
CIPRO may cause stomach upset, loss of appetite, diarrhea, nausea, headache or dizziness during the first few days as your body adjusts to the medication. If these symptoms persist or become severe, inform your doctor. Report new pain or tenderness (tendonitis) in arms or legs promptly. Notify your doctor if you develop any of the following effects: vision changes, restlessness, ringing in the ears, mental changes. CIPRO may infrequently cause drowsiness. In the unlikely event you have an allergic reaction to this drug, seek immediate medical attention. Symptoms of an allergic reaction include: rash, itching, swelling, fever, trouble breathing. If you notice other effects not listed above, contact your doctor or pharmacist.

Precautions
Before taking CIPRO, tell your doctor your medical history especially of: epilepsy, kidney disease, tendon problems, nervous system disorders, liver disease, blood vessel problems, any drug allergies. Use caution driving or performing tasks requiring alertness if CIPRO makes you dizzy or lightheaded. Limit alcohol intake because it may add to the dizziness/drowsiness effects. CIPRO can increase sensitivity to sunlight. Avoid prolonged sun exposure. Wear protective clothing and a sunscreen if you become sun-sensitive. CIPRO should be used only when clearly needed during pregnancy. Discuss the risks and benefits with your doctor. This drug is excreted into breast milk. You may have to stop nursing or stop taking CIPRO. Consult you doctor before breast-feeding.

Drug Interactions
Tell your doctor of all the medications you may use (both prescription and nonprescription) especially of: other antibiotics, theophylline, warfarin, cyclosporine, live vaccines, probenecid, sucralfate, quinapril, didanosine, iron, zinc, mineral supplements, antacids (containing magnesium, aluminum, or calcium). CIPRO may increase and/or prolong the effects of caffeine. Do not start or stop any medicine without doctor or pharmacist approval.

Missed Dose
Try to take each dose at the scheduled time. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as remembered; do not take it if it is near the time for the next dose, instead, skip the missed dose and resume your usual dosing schedule. Do not "double-up" the dose to catch up.

Storage
Store this medication at room temperature between 59 and 77 degrees F (15 to 25 degrees C) away from heat and light. Keep this and all medications out of the reach of children.

Notes
CIPRO has been prescribed for your current condition only. Do not use it later for another infection or give it to someone else. A different medication may be needed in those cases.
