Lyncipro 500 Tablets, 10 Tablets

Lyncipro 500 Tablets, the active ingredient Ciprofloxacin is a powerful antibiotic that can quickly clear up a wide range of bacterial infections. It belongs to a group of medicines known as the quinolone antibacterials, fluoroquinolones, and has high anti-bacterial activity against a wide range of organisms.
Ciprofloxacin works by attacking and killing the bacteria that cause your infection. It’s important to note that this antibiotic only works with specific strains of bacteria; so be sure to consult your doctor before taking it if you’re not sure whether or not your infection is caused by one of those strains.

LynCipro is used in Adults to treat the following bacterial infections:

  • respiratory tract infections(e.g. certain types of pneumonia)
  • long lasting or recurring ear or sinus infections
  • urinary tract infections (bladder and kidneys infection)
  • genital tract infections in men and women (e.g. gonorrhoea, a sexually transmitted disease)
  • gastro-intestinal tract infections (e.g.severe gastro-enteritis) and intra-abdominal infections
  • skin and soft tissue infections
  • bone and joint infections
  • to prevent infections due to the bacteria Neisseria meningitides which causes meningitis(brain and spinal cord inflammation)
  • anthrax inhalation exposure (infection that occurs when the spores from bacteria Bacillus anthracis enters the body).

Ciprofloxacin may be used in the management of patients with low white blood cell counts (neutropenia) who have a fever that is suspected to be due to a bacterial infection.
If you have a severe infection or one that is caused by more than one type of bacterium, you may be given additional antibiotic treatment in addition to Ciprofloxacin.

Children and adolescents:

Ciprofloxacin should be used under specialist medical supervision, to treat the following bacterial infections for children and adolescents:

  •  lung and bronchial infections in children and adolescents suffering from cystic fibrosis (genetic disorder known to be an inherited disease of the secretory glands, including the glands that make mucus and sweat).
  • complicated urinary tract infections, including infections that have reached the kidneys (pyelonephritis).
  • anthrax inhalation exposure (infection that occurs when the spores from bacteria Bacillus anthracis enters the body).

Ciprofloxacin may also be used to treat other specific severe infections in children and adolescents when your doctor considers this as necessary.

How to Use

How to take Lyncipro 500 Tablets

Always take ciprofloxacin tablets exactly as your doctor has told you. You should check with your doctor or pharmacist if you are not sure.
a) Take the tablets exactly as your doctor has told you. The tablets should always be taken with plenty of water, as this will help to prevent the formation of tiny crystals in your urine (crystalluria).
b) Do not chew the tablets because they do not taste nice.
c) Do try to take the tablets at around the same time every day.
You can take the tablets at meal times or between meals. Any calcium you take as a part of a meal will not seriously affect uptake. However, do not take ciprofloxacin tablets with dairy products such as milk or yogurt or with fortified fruit juices (eg.Calcium-fortified orange juice).
Tell your doctor if you suffer from kidney problems because your dose may need to be adjusted. The treatment usually lasts from 5 to 21 days, but may take longer for severe infections.
Your dose will be dependent on the type and severity of your infection, your age, weight and kidney function. Your doctor will choose the best dose for you.
If you take more Ciprofloxacin tablets than you should
If you take more than the prescribed dose, get medical help immediately. If possible, take your tablets or the box with you to show the doctor.
If you forget to take Ciprofloxacin tablets
If you forget to take a dose, take the normal dose as soon as you remember. If it is almost time for your next dose, do not take the missed dose and just carry on as before. Do not take a double dose to make up for a forgotten dose. Be sure to complete your course of treatment.
If you stop taking Ciprofloxacin tablets
It is important that you finish the course of treatment even if you begin to feel better after a few days. If you stop taking this medicine too soon your infection may not be completely cured and the symptoms of the infection may return or get worse. You might also develop resistance to the antibiotic.

Quinolone antibiotics may cause an increase of your blood sugar levels above normal levels (hyperglycaemia), or lowering of your blood sugar levels below normal levels, potentially leading to loss of consciousness (hypoglycaemic coma) in severe cases (see section4). This is important for people who have diabetes. If you suffer from diabetes, your blood sugar should be carefully monitored.
