Cifran 750 mg Tablet

Cifran 750 mg Tablet is a prescription 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 colds or flu. Cifran 750 mg Tablet may be prescribed for infections such as urinary tract infections, some lung infections, skin infections, and other susceptible bacterial infections when a doctor decides this higher-strength tablet is appropriate.

How it works: Ciprofloxacin works by stopping bacteria from copying and repairing their DNA, which helps kill the bacteria causing the infection. In tablet form, Cifran 750 mg is swallowed and absorbed into the body to reach the infection site. This action makes it useful against certain bacteria, but it does not work for viral illnesses like the common cold or influenza.

Cifran 750 mg Tablet is a higher-strength ciprofloxacin tablet, so it is generally used when a doctor wants a larger single dose than lower-strength tablets can provide. Because it delivers 750 mg in one tablet, it may be chosen for specific infections or dosing schedules where this strength is suitable for the patient’s age, kidney function, and infection severity.

• Urinary tract infections
• Kidney and bladder infections
• Some respiratory tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Certain gastrointestinal bacterial infections

• Swallow Cifran 750 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water.
• Take it at the exact time your doctor prescribes, which may be once or twice daily depending on the infection.
• Do not take it at the same time as antacids, iron, zinc, calcium supplements, or multivitamins; separate these by several hours.
• You may take it with or without food, but taking it with food can help reduce stomach upset.
• Drink enough fluids during treatment unless your doctor has told you to limit fluids.
• Finish the full prescribed course even if you start feeling better.

Each Cifran 750 mg Tablet provides 750 mg of ciprofloxacin, which is a relatively high tablet strength. Your doctor decides how often you should take it, but ciprofloxacin is commonly prescribed once or twice daily depending on the infection and your kidney function, and the total daily amount must not exceed the prescribed maximum for your specific condition.

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