It belongs to a class of drugs known as fluoroquinolone antibiotics and is commonly prescribed to treat bacterial infections. Ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting the growth and multiplication of bacteria, thereby helping to eliminate the infection.
This medication is commonly used to treat various types of infections, including urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections, gastrointestinal infections, and bone and joint infections. It may also be prescribed to prevent or treat infections in people with weakened immune systems.
