It is recommended for the treatment of infections caused by susceptible bacteria in lower respiratory infections, skin and skin-structure infections, bone and joint infections, urinary-tract infections, and infectious diarrhea. Recommended adult dosages range from 250 mg every 12 hours (for mild urinary-tract infections) to 750 mg every 12 hours (for more severe or complicated infections). Ciprofloxacin oral tablets have been approved for marketing in the United States since October 1987; the drug should not be used in children or pregnant women. Like other...References1.
