Ciprofar 500 Mg 10 Tablets

Description:

Ciprofar 500 mg 10 tablets is a prescription systemic antibiotic containing ciprofloxacin, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone used to treat a wide range of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA replication, leading to the elimination of susceptible bacteria in various parts of the body, including the urinary tract, respiratory system, gastrointestinal tract, skin, bones, and joints. Manufactured by Pharco, Ciprofar 500 mg film-coated tablets are intended for adult and adolescent patients as directed by a healthcare professional.

• Bone and joint infections caused by susceptible organisms
• Infectious diarrhoea of bacterial origin
• Uncomplicated gonorrhoea
• Ear, nose and throat (ENT) infections, including otitis and sinusitis caused by susceptible bacteria
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Typhoid fever and other systemic salmonella infections
• Intra-abdominal infections in combination with appropriate therapy when indicated
• Bacterial prostatitis
• Acute and chronic sinusitis due to susceptible organisms
• Chancroid
• Gynaecological infections such as pelvic inflammatory disease caused by susceptible bacteria
• Tularemia (as part of appropriate antimicrobial therapy)

Active Ingredients / Key Components:

• Ciprofloxacin – 500 mg per film-coated tablet
• Excipients: film-coating and tablet core excipients (exact excipient list and concentrations , please check the product leaflet or the manufacturer’s official website; please refer to the official package leaflet for full details).

Dosage & Administration / How to Use:

• Ciprofar 500 mg is for oral use only and should be taken exactly as prescribed by your doctor.
• Typical adult dose: 250–750 mg twice daily depending on the type and severity of the infection, renal function, and clinical judgement. The exact dose, frequency, and duration must be determined by the physician.
• Tablets should be swallowed whole with a glass of water. Do not crush or chew the film-coated tablets.
• Can be taken with or without food; however, avoid taking with dairy products (such as milk or yogurt) or calcium-fortified juices alone, as they may reduce absorption. They may be taken during a meal that contains these foods as part of a normal diet.
• Take doses at evenly spaced intervals (e.g., every 12 hours) to maintain effective blood levels.
• Duration of therapy varies by indication (commonly 3–14 days or longer for complicated infections). Always complete the full prescribed course even if symptoms improve early, to prevent resistance and relapse.
• In patients with renal impairment, dose adjustment or extended dosing interval may be required; follow your doctor’s instructions.
• Take with plenty of fluids to avoid dehydration unless otherwise directed by your doctor.
• If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for the next dose. Do not double the dose to make up for a missed one.

Clinical Benefits:

• Provides broad-spectrum antibacterial activity against many gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria, including pseudomonas aeruginosa.
• Effectively treats a wide range of systemic and localized infections, including urinary, respiratory, gastrointestinal, skin, bone, and joint infections.
• Helps rapidly reduce infection-related symptoms such as fever, pain, burning urination, cough, and local inflammation when used appropriately.
• Oral tablet form offers convenient systemic antibiotic therapy without the need for injections in many cases.

Warnings & Contraindications:

• Use only under medical supervision. Ciprofloxacin is a prescription antibiotic and should not be used without a doctor’s evaluation.
• Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity or allergy to ciprofloxacin, other fluoroquinolones, or any component of the formulation.

• Use with caution in patients with renal impairment; dose adjustment may be necessary.
• Use with caution in patients with a history of epilepsy, seizures, or other central nervous system (CNS) disorders, as fluoroquinolones may lower the seizure threshold.
• Dehydration should be avoided; maintain adequate fluid intake during treatment.
• May cause dizziness, confusion, or visual disturbances; caution is advised when driving vehicles, operating machinery, or engaging in hazardous activities.
