Ciprofloxacin is indicated for the treatment of infections caused by susceptible isolates of the designated microorganisms in the conditions and patient populations listed below.

Uncomplicated Urinary Tract Infections (Acute Cystitis): Ciprofloxacin is indicated for the treatment of uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs) caused by Escherichia coli, Proteus mirabilis, Enterococcus faecalis, or Staphylococcus saprophyticus.

Because fluoroquinolones, including Ciprofloxacin, have been associated with serious adverse reactions and for some patients uncomplicated UTI (acute cystitis) is self-limiting, reserve Ciprofloxacin for treatment of uncomplicated UTIs (acute cystitis) in patients who have no alternative treatment options.

Complicated Urinary Tract Infections, And Acute Uncomplicated Pyelonephritis: Ciprofloxacin is indicated for the treatment of complicated urinary tract infections (cUTI) caused by Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, Proteus mirabilis, or Pseudomonas aeruginosa and acute uncomplicated pyelonephritis(AUP) caused by Escherichia coli.

To reduce the development of drug-resistant bacteria and maintain the effectiveness of Ciprofloxacin and other antibacterialdrugs, Ciprofloxacin should be used only to treat infections that are proven or strongly suspected to be caused by susceptible bacteria. When culture and susceptibility information are available, they should be considered in selecting or modifying antibacterial therapy. In the absence of such data, local epidemiology and susceptibility patterns may contribute to the empiric selection of therapy.

Appropriate culture and susceptibility tests should be performed before treatment in order to isolate and identify organisms causing infection and to determine their susceptibility to ciprofloxacin. Therapy with Ciprofloxacin may be initiated before results of these tests are known; once results become available appropriate therapy should be continued.

As with other drugs, some isolates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa may develop resistance fairly rapidly during treatment with ciprofloxacin. Culture and susceptibility testing performed periodically during therapy will provide information not only on the therapeutic effect of the antimicrobial agent but also on the possible emergence of bacterial resistance.
