Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic used to treat a number of bacterial infections.[3] This includes bone and joint infections, intra abdominal infections, certain type of infectious diarrhea, respiratory tract infections, skin infections, typhoid fever, and urinary tract infections, among others.[3] For some infections it is used in addition to other antibiotics.[3] It can be taken by mouth, as eye drops, as ear drops, or intravenously.[3][4]

Common side effects include nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and rash.[3] Severe side effects include an increased risk of tendon rupture, hallucinations, and nerve damage.[3] In people with myasthenia gravis, there is worsening muscle weakness.[3] Rates of side effects appear to be higher than some groups of antibiotics such as cephalosporins but lower than others such as clindamycin.[5] Studies in other animals raise concerns regarding use in pregnancy.[6] No problems were identified, however, in the children of a small number of women who took the medication.[6] It appears to be safe during breastfeeding.[3] It is a second-generation fluoroquinolone with a broad spectrum of activity that usually results in the death of the bacteria.[3][7][8]

Ciprofloxacin was patented in 1980 and introduced in 1987.[9][10] It is on the World Health Organization's List of Essential Medicines.[11] It is available as a generic medication.[3][12] The wholesale cost in the developing world is between US$0.03 and US$0.13 a dose.[13] In the United States it is sold for about US$0.40 per dose.[3] In 2017, it was the 107th most commonly prescribed medication in the United States, with more than six million prescriptions.[14][15]
