- Generic name: Ciprofloxacin hydrochloride
- Brand names: Cipro, Ciloxan
- Drug class: Fluoroquinolone antibiotic
Ciprofloxacin (Cipro) is a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic. This medication
is especially effective for urinary
tract infections (UTI). It is active against most pathogenic bacteria in the urinary tract and is a good option when other antibiotics fail to cure the infection.
Cipro is used to treat cystitis,
chronic bacterial prostatitis, pyelonephritis, pneumonia, bronchitis, abdomen infections, skin and bone infections, inhalational anthrax, and some sexually transmitted
disease (e.g. gonorrhea).
Symptoms of a recurrent UTI and some other infections are often easy to identify. That is why people may have an intention to get Cipro or Ciprofloxacin without a prescription to treat urinary
tract infections or STD. Especially because visiting a doctor to get a prescription for STD is often embarrassing for people.
