Composition

• Ciprofloxacin 250 mg

Mechanism of Action

Ciprofloxacin belongs to the fluoroquinolone class of antibiotics. Its mechanism of action involves:

• Inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for DNA replication, transcription, and repair

• Disrupting bacterial DNA synthesis, leading to cell death

• Providing bactericidal action against actively dividing bacteria

By targeting bacterial enzymes that are not present in human cells, Ancipro effectively kills bacteria without harming human tissues when used appropriately.

Ancipro Tablet 250 mg is indicated for the treatment of:

• Respiratory tract infections: including bronchitis, pneumonia, and sinusitis

• Urinary tract infections (UTIs): including cystitis and pyelonephritis

• Gastrointestinal infections: caused by susceptible bacteria, such as traveler's diarrhea

• Skin and soft tissue infections: including cellulitis and abscesses

• Sexually transmitted infections (STIs): such as gonorrhea caused by susceptible strains

• Other bacterial infections as determined by a healthcare professional

Benefits

• Broad-Spectrum Activity: Effective against a wide range of Gram-negative and Gram-positive bacteria
