What is Ciprofloxacin and what does it treat?
Ciprofloxacin belongs to a class of medications called quinolone antibiotics, used to treat various bacterial infections. It’s commonly known by the brand name Cipro. At Your Doctors Online, our physicians can prescribe Ciprofloxacin for:
- Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs) in men and women
- Chest infections (bronchitis)
- Skin, bone, and joint infections
For all approved uses and indications, visit the official website of the FDA.
Who should not take Ciprofloxacin?
Ciprofloxacin is a strong antibiotic and isn’t safe for everyone. Tell your doctor if any of these apply to you:
Allergy: you’ve had a reaction to Cipro or similar antibiotics, such as levofloxacin
Tizanidine: you take this muscle relaxer (the two must not be taken together)
Myasthenia gravis: Cipro can make muscle weakness worse
Tendon problems: you’ve had a tendon injury, you’re over 60, you take steroid pills, or you’ve had a kidney, heart or lung transplant
Heart rhythm problems: you have a long QT, a slow heartbeat or low potassium, or you’ve had an aortic aneurysm
Other conditions: seizures, diabetes, kidney problems, pregnancy or breastfeeding
If Cipro isn’t right for you, your doctor can usually choose a safer antibiotic.
How much does a Ciprofloxacin prescription cost?
Your total cost has two parts: the online doctor visit and the medicine itself.
No insurance needed: you can see a doctor online and fill your prescription without insurance
Generic is cheaper: generic ciprofloxacin usually costs much less than brand-name Cipro
Insurance: most plans cover generic ciprofloxacin, often for a small copay
Discount coupons: free pharmacy discount cards can lower the price if you pay out of pocket
Pharmacy choice: prices vary between pharmacies, so compare before you fill

Is Ciprofloxacin an FDA-approved drug?
Yes. Ciprofloxacin and other fluoroquinolone antibiotics are FDA-approved to treat various bacterial infections in the body, including UTIs, lower respiratory tract infections, infectious diarrhea, chronic bacterial prostatitis, and acute sinusitis. However, these medications are prescribed only to those patients who have no alternative treatment options available.
Dosage forms and strengths of Ciprofloxacin
Ciprofloxacin comes in 3 different dosage forms:
- Oral tablets: 100mg, 250mg, 500mg, 750mg
- Oral suspension: 250mg/5mL, 500mg/5mL
- Infusion solution: 200mg/100mL, 400mg/200mL
Availability may vary by manufacturer, pharmacy, and with different ciprofloxacin costs. It’s essential to note that a telemedicine platform does not prescribe IV dosages.
How does Ciprofloxacin work?
Ciprofloxacin prevents the growth of bacteria in the human body by inhibiting the action of important bacterial enzymes, topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV. Please note that generic Cipro does not treat viral infections, such as the common cold, influenza (flu), or COVID-19.
Side effects of Ciprofloxacin
Common side effects of Ciprofloxacin might include:
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Stomach upset
- Sleep problems
- Headache
Some reported severe side effects may include tendon problems, nerve damage, allergic reactions, muscle weakness, and low blood sugar, among others. Stop taking Ciprofloxacin if you notice any of the symptoms listed above.
