For adults, ciprofloxacin is usually administered orally between 250 to 500 mg twice daily between meals. In cases of severe complicated infections, the dose may be increased to 750 mg twice daily. For acute infections, treatment is generally given for 5 to 10 days, and should continue for at least 3 days after symptoms have resolved.

This medicine can cause serious side effects such as tendonitis, tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, and central nervous system abnormalities, so if these symptoms occur, you should stop taking it immediately. In particular, it is safer for patients with myasthenia gravis to avoid this medication as symptoms may worsen.
