CIPRONAT CIPROFLOXACIN 500MG TABS 14’S

Cipronat 500 mg is a brand name for ciprofloxacin, an antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone class. It is primarily used to treat various bacterial infections, including urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, skin infections, and gastrointestinal infections. Ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes critical for bacterial DNA replication and repair, thereby stopping the growth of bacteria.

In addition to treating infections, ciprofloxacin is sometimes used for prophylaxis against anthrax and for treating certain types of infectious diarrhea. It is effective against a wide range of gram-negative and some gram-positive bacteria. However, it is important to use this medication only under the guidance of a healthcare professional, as misuse can lead to antibiotic resistance and other side effects. Common side effects may include nausea, diarrhea, and dizziness.
