Ciprofloxacin, more commonly known as Cipro, is an oral liquid or tablet antibiotic that is used to treat bacterial infections in many parts of the body. It is used to treat anthrax after exposure, and to delay symptoms of syphilis, even though it is not effective against actual syphilis infections.
Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone (flor-o-KWIN-o-lone) antibiotic that fights bacteria in the body. Ciprofloxacin is used to treat different types of bacterial infections. It is also used to treat people who have been exposed to anthrax or certain types of plague. Fluoroquinolone antibiotics can cause serious or disabling side effects. Ciprofloxacin should be used only for infections that cannot be treated with a safer antibiotic.
