  1. Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs): Ciprofloxacin is commonly prescribed for uncomplicated and complicated UTIs caused by susceptible bacteria such as Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Proteus mirabilis, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa.

  2. Respiratory Tract Infections: Ciprofloxacin may be used to treat respiratory tract infections such as acute bacterial sinusitis, exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, and pneumonia caused by susceptible bacteria.

  3. Skin and Soft Tissue Infections: Ciprofloxacin is effective against skin and soft tissue infections, including cellulitis, abscesses, wound infections, and infected ulcers caused by susceptible bacteria.

  4. Bone and Joint Infections: Ciprofloxacin can be used in the treatment of bone and joint infections, including osteomyelitis and septic arthritis, particularly when caused by Gram-negative bacteria or Staphylococcus aureus.

  5. Gastrointestinal Infections: Ciprofloxacin may be prescribed for gastrointestinal infections such as infectious diarrhea caused by bacteria such as Salmonella, Shigella, Campylobacter, and enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC).

  6. Intra-abdominal Infections: Ciprofloxacin is sometimes used in the treatment of intra-abdominal infections, including complicated intra-abdominal infections, when caused by susceptible bacteria.

  7. Sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs): Ciprofloxacin may be used to treat certain sexually transmitted infections such as gonorrhea and chlamydia, although other antibiotics are often preferred for these indications.

  8. Prophylaxis: Ciprofloxacin may be used prophylactically in certain situations to prevent infections, such as in patients undergoing prostate biopsy or as post-exposure prophylaxis for anthrax exposure.

  9. Chronic Bacterial Prostatitis: Ciprofloxacin is one of the antibiotics commonly used to treat chronic bacterial prostatitis, although other antibiotics may also be used depending on the causative organism.

  10. Side Effects: Common side effects of ciprofloxacin include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, headache, and dizziness. Rare but serious side effects may include tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, central nervous system effects such as seizures or hallucinations, and allergic reactions.

  11. Drug Interactions: Ciprofloxacin may interact with certain medications, including antacids, sucralfate, iron supplements, warfarin, theophylline, and nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), potentially affecting their effectiveness or increasing the risk of side effects.

  12. Pregnancy and Lactation: Ciprofloxacin is generally not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding due to concerns about potential adverse effects on fetal development and infant health.

  13. Bacterial Resistance: Overuse or misuse of ciprofloxacin can contribute to the development of bacterial resistance, reducing its effectiveness in treating infections. It is important to use ciprofloxacin judiciously and only when necessary to help preserve its efficacy.

  14. Clostridioides difficile Infection: Like other antibiotics, ciprofloxacin can disrupt the normal balance of bacteria in the gut and increase the risk of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), which can cause diarrhea and colitis.

Impacted of ciprofloxacin [CFS] On Probiotics

Bacteria Impacted by ciprofloxacin [CFS]

We extend modifiers to include items that changes the parent and child taxa. I.e. for a species, that would be the genus that is belongs to and the strains in the species.

Impact of ciprofloxacin [CFS] on Conditions from US National Library of Medicine

A higher number indicates impact on more bacteria associated with the condition and confidence on the impact.

We have X bacteria high and Y low reported. We find that the modifier reduces some and increases other of these two groups. We just tally: X|reduces + Y|Increase = Positive   X|increases + Y|decrease = Negative.

Benefit Ratio:
Numbers above 0 have increasing positive effect.
Numbers below 0 have increasing negative effect.
