Mechanism of action
Ciprofloxacin interferes with the bacterial enzymes DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, which are necessary for DNA replication, transcription, repair, and recombination, effectively halting bacterial multiplication.
Cipro is a renowned product from Bayer containing ciprofloxacin, which is used to treat bacterial infection, urinary tract infection and respiratory tract infection. This medicine is also sold as Ciproxin and Ciplox, supplied as a tablet in strengths of 250, 500, 750 and 1000mg.
Buying Cipro online
Because generic ciprofloxacin is largely produced in India, it is often more affordable for expats and people living in areas without easy access to a well stocked pharmacy. This medication is best used under a doctor’s care.
Is the Cipro sold here the branded version?
No. Cipro is the originator brand name, made by Bayer, and Yasabai uses it to identify the medicine: you receive a generic with the same active ingredient (ciprofloxacin) at the same dose, mostly a recognised Indian branded generic. The exact brand depends on stock.
How much does Cipro cost?
It depends on the strength and pack. Cipro comes in 250, 500, 750 and 1000mg strengths, in packs of 10 to 360 tablets, and the price per tablet for every option is shown above, in US dollars or the currency you choose. Larger packs cost less per tablet. Paying with Bitcoin or Ethereum gives you an extra 10% off.
What other names is Cipro sold under?
