Cipro XR Information
Uses
Cipro XR is used to treat adults with infections
caused by certain bacteria. It may also be used to prevent
or slow the progress of anthrax after exposure.
How To Use
How much medicine you take and how often you take it
depends on many factors, including the condition being
treated and the age and weight of the patient. If you
have any questions about the amount and/or frequency
of the medicine you are taking, talk with your health
care provider. Carefully read the patient leaflet provided
with Cipro XR and reread it each time you get your
prescription refilled. Take Cipro XR exactly as
prescribed by your health care provider. Cipro XR
may be taken with or without meals. The preferred dosing
time is 2 hours after a meal. Drink plenty of liquids
while taking Cipro XR. Take antacids that contain
magnesium, aluminum, or calcium; iron; zinc;sucralfate;
or didanosine chewable tablets or oral solution 2 hours
after or 6 hours before taking Cipro XR. Do not
take Cipro XR with yogurt or milk alone. However,
calcium as part of a meal does not affect Cipro XR.
Do not consume products that contain caffeine (coffee,
tea, cola) while taking Cipro XR. Stop taking Cipro XR and talk with your doctor if you experience
pain, inflammation, or swelling of a tendon. Get plenty
of rest and stop exercising until your doctor has determined
the cause. Stop using Cipro XR and contact your
health care provider at once if any of the following
occur: Skin rash, hives or other skin reactions; rapid
heartbeat; difficulty swallowing or breathing; swelling
of the lips, tongue, or face; tightness of the throat;
hoarseness; any other sign of an allergic reaction.
Long-term or repeated use of Cipro XR may cause
a second infection. You may need to stop taking Cipro XR and start another medication to treat the second
infection. Contact your doctor if signs of a second
infection occurs. Continue to use until all of the prescribed
medicine has been taken. Failure to take all of the
medicine may prevent complete elimination of bacteria,
allowing the infection to return. If severe diarrhea,
stomach cramps/pain, or bloody stools occurs, immediately
contact your health care provider at once. This could
be a sign of a serious side effect requiring immediate
medical attention. Do not treat diarrhea without talking
to your doctor. Cipro XR may cause dizziness or
lightheadedness. Use caution while driving or performing
other tasks requiring alertness, coordination, or physical
dexterity. Cipro XR may cause sensitivity to sunlight
or other forms of UV light (eg, tanning beds). Avoid
prolonged exposure to the sun. Use sunscreen and wear
protective clothing until tolerance is determined. Stop
taking Cipro XR if sunburn-like reactions occur.Lab
tests may be required to monitor therapy. Be sure to
keep appointments. Do not stop taking Cipro XR
without checking with your doctor. Do not take more
medicine than prescribed unless advised to do so by
your doctor or health care provider. Patients with previous
medical conditions should talk with their health care
provider before taking this medication. Do not take
any other over-the-counter or prescription medications
without talking with your doctor. This includes any
herbal preparations or dietary supplements.
