Ciprofloxacin
- Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic.
- It is effective against Gram-negative bacteria, with moderate activity against Gram-positive bacteria.
- Uses for ciprofloxacin include:
- Dental infections: periodontitis, pericoronitis, gingivitis, acute necrotizing ulcerative gingivitis. Other drugs used in combination include Ofloxacin, Moxifloxacin, and Ciprofloxacin + Tinidazole.
- Skin and soft tissue infections (caused by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)
- ENT infections (caused by Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterobacter, Haemophilus influenzae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa)
- Respiratory tract infections (caused by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pneumoniae, Moraxella catarrhalis, Escherichia coli, Enterobacter species, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Haemophilus influenzae and Serratia)
- Acute cholecystitis (caused by Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli)
- Gastrointestinal issues (such as Traveler's diarrhea, enteric fever, acute gastroenteritis, cholera)
- Liver and intraperitoneal abscesses (caused by Bacteroides fragilis)
- Genitourinary tract infections (caused by Neisseria gonorrhoeae, Enterobacter species, Proteus mirabilis, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Serratia, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Haemophilus influenzae)
- Meningitis (caused by Neisseria meningitides, Enterobacter species and Campylobacter fetus)
- Bone and joint infections (caused by Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus)
- Endocarditis and bacteremia (caused by Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus and Campylobacter fetus)
- Other infections: Bacteremia (caused by Bacteroides fragilis) Eye infection and cystic fibrosis (caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa), Wound infections (caused by Pasteurella multocida), Chancroid (caused by Haemophilus ducreyi).
- Ciprofloxacin is used in combination with other drugs for various conditions.
- The document also mentions biological warfare agents, such as anthrax (Bacillus anthracis) and plague (Yersinia pestis), where Ciprofloxacin may be used.
