Description:

Cebect 500mg Tablets contain Ciprofloxacin, a fluoroquinolone antibiotic that offers broad-spectrum activity against both gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. It is commonly used for treating serious bacterial infections in the respiratory, urinary, skin, and digestive systems. Ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting the action of bacterial DNA gyrase, thus preventing bacteria from replicating.

Key Features:

• 500mg Ciprofloxacin provides enhanced bactericidal action.

• Effective against a wide range of infections including respiratory, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and gastrointestinal infections.

• Typically prescribed for moderate to severe infections.

• Convenient oral dosage with a 10-tablet pack.

• Suitable for adults and can be prescribed for children, under medical guidance.

Dosage & Administration:

• Typical dose for adults: 500mg twice a day for most infections, or as prescribed by your healthcare provider.

• For more severe infections, the dosage may be adjusted to 750mg twice a day.

• Take the tablet whole with plenty of water, with or without food.

• It is important to avoid taking the tablets with dairy products or calcium-fortified juices as they can interfere with absorption.

Precautions:

• Allergy: Avoid if you have a known allergy to ciprofloxacin or other quinolones.

• Tendinitis and tendon rupture risks: Ciprofloxacin has been linked to an increased risk, particularly in elderly patients or those on corticosteroid treatment.

• Not recommended for pregnant or breastfeeding women unless deemed essential by a healthcare provider.

• Use cautiously in those with renal impairment, liver dysfunction, or seizure disorders.

• Monitor blood glucose levels if you are diabetic, as ciprofloxacin can cause hypoglycemia.
