Ciprozid-DS Tablet 500 mg contains Ciprofloxacin, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat a variety of bacterial infections. Ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes crucial for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair. By blocking these processes, Ciprofloxacin effectively prevents bacterial growth and kills susceptible bacteria, helping the body fight infections efficiently.

The DS (Double Strength) 500 mg formulation provides a convenient and effective oral dose, particularly useful for moderate to severe infections, allowing for reduced dosing frequency compared to standard formulations. This tablet is designed for oral administration, ensuring rapid absorption and systemic action.
