Ciprofloxacin (250mg)
Active composition
Ciprofloxacin inhibits DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, disrupting bacterial DNA replication and leading to cell death.
Medical applications
Floxip 250 Tablet contains Ciprofloxacin 250mg, a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone class, effective against a wide range of bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination, thereby preventing bacterial cell division and growth. Floxip 250 is commonly prescribed for treating urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, gastrointestinal infections, and certain types of bone and joint infections caused by susceptible bacteria. It is particularly useful in cases where other antibiotics may be ineffective due to resistance. The medication should be taken exactly as prescribed by a healthcare professional, usually twice daily, with or without food, and it is important to complete the full course to prevent the development of resistance. Patients should avoid taking Floxip 250 with dairy products or calcium-fortified juices alone, as these can interfere with absorption. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, dizziness, and headache, while serious adverse effects are rare but can include tendonitis or tendon rupture. Floxip 250 is contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ciprofloxacin or other fluoroquinolones and should be used cautiously in individuals with a history of seizures or kidney problems.
