Pharmacology of Ciprocin XR 1 Tablet

Synthesized fluoroquinolone antibiotics include ciprofloxacin. Both gram-positive and gram-negative bacteria are susceptible to their bactericidal effects.

Interaction of Ciprocin XR 1 Tablet

Sucralfate, any calcium, iron, or zinc-containing drugs, as well as antacids that contain magnesium or aluminum, should not be taken at the same time as ciprofloxacin. Two hours after or six hours before using these products, ciprofloxacin can be taken. Since milk and other dairy products may significantly reduce Ciprofloxacin's absorption, it is not advised to take either drug together. The absorption of Ciprofloxacin is unaffected by dietary calcium when it is eaten with a meal.
