More facts about Generic Cipro (Ciprofloxacin 250 mg):

What are the drugs marketed as Generic Cipro?

The most known brand of the medication based on Ciprofloxacin in the U.S. is Cipro. In other countries and in the U.S. too, the same medication can be found also under other names. The reason for that is that the formula of the medication is known for a long time already because the medication was developed and tested in 1979. Obviously, it allows various manufacturers to use the formula and manufacture their drugs based on it. However, they need to register different names for their drugs not to infringe the copyright of the Cipro brand owner. Such drugs are collectively called generics of Cipro or generics of Ciprofloxacin. If you ask any pharmacist for such drug, he or she will know exactly what you want to buy. Moreover, in different countries, different generics can be available. For instance, some generics that are sold in France are not registered in the U.S. and vice versa. Considering that the health care system in America is quite expensive, all generics registered in the country are much more expensive than those sold in other countries. The cheapest generics are usually manufactured in India and Eastern Europe due to lower production, registration, promotion, and other costs.

Are generics inferior to the branded drug?

No, generics have the same quality and efficiency as the branded drugs. In fact, the whole idea and program of generics creation was developed to make qualitative and effective medications affordable for people who cannot use expensive branded drugs. Therefore, if you need the drug based on Ciprofloxacin, you can buy Generic Cipro and use it without any worries that the drug may be ineffective.

When the antibiotic is used?

Antibiotics are a class of drugs which if used improperly can cause irreversible harm to the body. Although it can be said about other medications too, we feel that we must warn you about antibiotics especially because on this page you can buy Cipro.

The danger of antibiotics use is that some diseases can be misinterpreted. For instance, if you have symptoms of a bacterial infection it doesn’t necessarily mean that it is caused by a bacteria and not a virus. In case you have virus, antibiotics not only won’t be effective, they also will lower your immunity and make you more susceptible to infection while the treatment of the possible infection will be complicated by the fact that you already used an antibiotic within the last 6 months. Therefore, we highly advise you to get the drug only if you have a precise diagnosis and know that the infection you have is susceptible to Ciprofloxacin.

The medication is commonly prescribed for bronchitis, pneumonia, otitis media, pharyngitis, cystitis, prostatitis, gonococcal Infection, and other conditions. The antibiotic is also effective against life-threatening conditions such as plague, anthrax, cholera, and others but their treatment is performed in hospital exclusively and cannot be made at home.

What is the mechanism of effect of Cipro?

The medication renders antimicrobial activity of broad spectrum through the suppression of bacterial DNA gyrase, violation of the DNA synthesis, growth and replication of bacteria and fast death of bacteria cells. Ciprofloxacin provides a bactericidal effect on Gram-negative pathogens both during the rest and replication phases and on Gram-positive organisms only during replication. The low toxicity of the drug for the body is explained by the lack of DNA gyrase in the macro-organism.

The antibiotic doesn’t cause the resistance to other antibiotics not included in the group of gyrase inhibitors what makes it highly effective against bacteria resistant, for example, to aminoglycosides, penicillins, cephalosporins, tetracyclines and many other antibiotics.
