Cipex is a brand name for the medication Ciprofloxacin, which is an antibiotic used to treat various bacterial infections. Cipex tablets contain 100mg of ciprofloxacin as the active ingredient.

Dosage:

The dosage of Cipex depends on the type and severity of the infection being treated. The typical adult dosage for most infections is 250-750 mg taken orally every 12 hours. The maximum daily dose should not exceed 1500mg.

For uncomplicated urinary tract infections, a lower dosage of 100mg orally every 12 hours for 3 days may be prescribed.

For severe or complicated infections, the dosage may be increased to up to 1000mg orally every 12 hours for a maximum of 14 days.

Usage:

Cipex tablets should be taken orally with a full glass of water, with or without food. It is important to take the medication at the same time each day, evenly spaced apart to maintain a consistent level of the drug in the bloodstream.

It is important to complete the full course of medication as prescribed by the doctor, even if symptoms improve before the medication is finished. Stopping the medication early may result in the return of the infection or the development of antibiotic resistance.

Cipex should not be taken with dairy products or antacids as they may interfere with the absorption of the medication. It is important to inform the doctor of any other medications being taken, as some medications may interact with Cipex and cause adverse effects.

If a dose is missed, it should be taken as soon as possible. However, if it is close to the next scheduled dose, the missed dose should be skipped and the regular dosing schedule should be resumed.

Overall, Cipex is an effective medication for the treatment of various bacterial infections, but should only be used as prescribed by a doctor.
