Overview
Ciprocin Oral Suspension (250 mg/5 ml) contains Ciprofloxacin, manufactured by Square Pharmaceuticals PLC. This liquid formulation is used for patients requiring oral ciprofloxacin therapy who cannot swallow tablets, indicated for urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, skin infections, and other susceptible bacterial infections.
Dosage and Administration
Adults: 500 mg (10 ml) twice daily; children as per physician prescription based on weight (typically 10–20 mg/kg twice daily up to adult dose). Shake well before each dose. May be given without regard to meals but avoid concurrent dairy.
Interaction
Same interaction profile as ciprofloxacin tablets: antacids, sucralfate, and iron preparations reduce absorption. Increases theophylline and warfarin levels.
Contraindications
Contraindicated in patients with known hypersensitivity to ciprofloxacin or fluoroquinolones. Avoid in children under 18 except for specific indications.
Side Effects
Nausea, diarrhoea, abdominal discomfort, headache, and rash. Tendon and CNS effects possible as with other fluoroquinolones.
Pregnancy and Lactation
Avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding unless no safer alternative is available.
Precautions and Warnings
Shake well before each use. Do not administer via enteral feeding tubes without checking compatibility. Measure dose with the calibrated device supplied. Complete the full prescribed course.
Storage Conditions
Store the dry microcapsules at room temperature. After reconstitution, store at room temperature; use within 14 days. Do not refrigerate — ciprofloxacin suspension should not be refrigerated.
Frequently Asked Questions
Why should ciprofloxacin suspension not be refrigerated?
Unlike most suspensions, ciprofloxacin oral suspension should be stored at room temperature after reconstitution — refrigeration thickens the suspension and makes it difficult to measure accurately.
How long can the reconstituted suspension be kept?
Use within 14 days of reconstitution; discard any unused portion after this period.
