Description

Dosage Recommendations
- The recommended dosage for adults ranges from 100-750 mg twice daily, depending on the severity and type of infection. Infections of the lower and upper urinary tract may require 250-500 mg twice daily. Dosage adjustments may be necessary for patients with impaired renal function or elderly patients.

- Ciprofloxacin, the active ingredient in Xirocip XR, exerts its bactericidal action by interfering with the enzyme DNA gyrase needed for the synthesis of bacterial DNA. It is rapidly and well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and widely distributed into body tissues and fluids.
Indications

Interaction
