Floxmed 750 mg Tablet

Floxmed 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, which are used to treat certain bacterial infections, not viral illnesses like colds or flu. Floxmed 750 mg Tablet may be prescribed for infections in the urinary tract, lungs, skin, bones, joints, or other sites when the bacteria are expected to respond to ciprofloxacin. Because this is a higher-strength tablet, it should be used only when a clinician has decided this exact dose is appropriate.

How it works: Ciprofloxacin works by stopping bacteria from making the DNA they need to grow and multiply. In tablet form, Floxmed 750 mg Tablet is swallowed and absorbed into the body to help fight the infection from inside.

Floxmed 750 mg Tablet is a higher-strength ciprofloxacin tablet, so it is not the usual starting dose for every patient. Doctors may choose Floxmed 750 mg Tablet when a stronger per-dose amount is needed, when the infection is more serious, or when once- or twice-daily tablet dosing is being used for a specific infection and patient. Since there are no other strengths or forms in this brand line, this product is the exact 750 mg oral tablet strength a prescriber would select for an individualized treatment plan.

• Bacterial urinary tract infections
• Certain respiratory tract infections
• Skin and soft tissue infections
• Bone and joint infections
• Other ciprofloxacin-sensitive bacterial infections

• Swallow Floxmed 750 mg Tablet whole with a full glass of water; do not crush or chew unless your prescriber or pharmacist specifically says it is okay.
• Take it exactly as prescribed, at the same times each day if you are told to take it more than once daily.
• You may take it with or without food, but avoid taking it together with दूध, calcium-fortified juice, antacids, iron, zinc, magnesium, sucralfate, or multivitamins; separate these products as directed by your pharmacist.
• Drink enough fluids while taking this tablet unless your doctor has told you to limit fluids.
• Finish the full prescribed course even if you start feeling better, because stopping early can let the infection come back.

Each Floxmed 750 mg Tablet provides 750 mg of ciprofloxacin per tablet. The dosing schedule depends on the infection being treated and your kidney function, and this strength may be taken once or twice daily in some treatment plans; your doctor decides the exact dose and length of therapy. Do not take more than the amount prescribed, because the maximum daily amount depends on your diagnosis and medical status.

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