Ciroc Tablet 250 mg (Ciprofloxacin Hydrochloride Monohydrate)

Adult dose

For typical adults, ciprofloxacin is administered orally as a single dose of 250 to 500 mg, twice daily between meals. In cases of severe complicated infection, the dosage may be increased to 750 mg per single dose, twice daily. In case of acute infections, treatment is usually for 5 to 10 days, and at least 3 days should be continued after symptoms have disappeared. For patients with renal impairment, dosage should be adjusted according to creatinine clearance. The dosage may be appropriately increased or decreased depending on the symptoms.

This medication can cause serious side effects such as tendonitis, tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, central nervous system effects, and exacerbation of myasthenia gravis. If these symptoms occur, discontinue the medication immediately and consult a physician. Patients with a history of myasthenia gravis should avoid using this medication. This medication should only be used when there are no other treatment options for certain bacterial infections, and it should be avoided by women who are pregnant or breastfeeding, children under 18, and patients with epilepsy. Moreover, caution should be exercised when administering this medication to the elderly, patients with impaired renal function, and those with central nervous system disorders. During treatment, avoid excessive exposure to sunlight or ultraviolet light, and discontinue use immediately if photosensitivity occurs. Diabetic patients who require blood glucose control should closely monitor for changes in blood glucose levels and seek immediate treatment if hypoglycemic symptoms appear. This medication can interact with other drugs, so anyone taking other medications must inform their physician or pharmacist. Special caution is needed when taken with theophylline, warfarin, tizanidine, and ketoprofen. Dizziness or drowsiness may occur when driving or operating machinery, so exercise caution. This medication is primarily excreted through the kidneys, so patients with reduced kidney function may require dosage adjustments. In the case of overdose, appropriate emergency measures including renal function tests are necessary, and it should be stored out of reach of children.
