Alcipro 750 mg Tablet

Alcipro 750 mg Tablet is an oral antibiotic tablet that contains 750 mg of ciprofloxacin in each tablet. Ciprofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics and is used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Alcipro 750 mg Tablet may be prescribed for infections of the urinary tract, lungs, skin, abdomen, bones, or certain other serious bacterial infections when a doctor decides this strength is appropriate.

How it works: Ciprofloxacin works by blocking bacterial enzymes that bacteria need to copy and repair their DNA, which stops the infection-causing bacteria from multiplying. As a tablet, Alcipro 750 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed through the digestive tract to treat the infection from inside the body.

The 750 mg tablet is a higher-strength ciprofloxacin product, so it is generally used when a clinician wants a larger dose per tablet rather than a lower-strength tablet. Because there are no other strengths or forms listed for this brand, Alcipro 750 mg Tablet should be viewed as a doctor-selected strength for specific infections and dosing schedules, not a starting dose for everyone.

• Urinary tract infections
• Certain kidney infections
• Some respiratory tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Bone and joint infections
• Certain abdominal infections

• Swallow Alcipro 750 mg Tablet whole with a glass of water.
• Take it exactly at the time and frequency your doctor prescribes; do not change the schedule on your own.
• You may take it with or without food, but if it upsets your stomach, taking it with a light meal may help.
• Do not take it at the same time as antacids, iron, zinc, calcium, magnesium, or sucralfate; separate them by the timing your pharmacist or doctor recommends.
• Drink plenty of fluids unless your doctor has told you to limit fluids.
• Finish the full prescribed course even if you start feeling better.

Each Alcipro 750 mg Tablet provides 750 mg of ciprofloxacin, which is a higher single-tablet strength than lower-dose ciprofloxacin tablets. It may be taken once or twice daily depending on the infection and the prescribing plan, and the exact maximum daily amount is decided by the doctor based on the infection being treated, kidney function, and other patient factors.

Do not change your dose or stop the medicine without speaking to your doctor.
