Always follow your doctor’s instructions precisely. The typical adult dose for uncomplicated infections is 500 mg twice daily. This is usually administered for 7 to 14 days, depending on the infection’s severity and your response to treatment.
Adjustments for Specific Infections
For more severe infections, your doctor may prescribe a higher dose, potentially up to 750 mg twice daily. Conversely, for certain infections or if you have kidney problems, a lower dose or less frequent administration may be necessary. Your doctor will adjust your dosage based on individual factors.
Administration Instructions
Swallow Ciprofloxacin tablets whole with a full glass of water. Avoid taking them with dairy products or antacids, as these can reduce absorption. Take the medication at roughly the same time each day to maintain consistent levels in your blood. Complete the entire course of treatment, even if you begin to feel better. Stopping early can lead to treatment failure and the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria.
Missed Dose
If you miss a dose, take it as soon as you remember unless it is almost time for your next dose. Never double up doses. Contact your doctor if you have concerns about missed doses or any adverse reactions.
