Ciprofloxacin


Mum thinks it is the Ciprofloxacin that is causing her dizziness and we will check this on Monday with the Consultant. She has to take one tablet twice a day and she feels that when she is in between doses, she feels better.

At this stage in the cycle, Mum is at risk of infection and this drug is prescribed to reduce that risk.

Ciprofloxacin (INN) is a synthetic chemotherapeutic antibiotic of the fluoroquinolone drug class. It is a second-generation fluoroquinolone antibacterial. It kills bacteria by interfering with the enzymes that cause DNA to rewind after being copied, which stops synthesis of DNA and of protein.
