Huh? My friends are saying that.for some relief of acute cough and wheezing. They’re also coughing and itchy, and they can’t get over their fear of COVID-19, so they prescribed me Cipro and got me a prescription for a different medicine. (Cipro isn’t on the market.)
Cipro is an over-the-counter cough medicine that works by killing bacteria in the lungs. It’s usually taken as a mouth and throat spacer, so you take one dose, and then one dose every four to six hours, so it’s four to six times as many as your regular prescription. You can take this medicine with or without food, but if you eat a high-fat food, you might take it with food, so it’s better to take it on an empty stomach. (Cipro is available in a strength of 10 mg and 20 mg) If you take it on an empty stomach, you might have to take a pill on an empty stomach, or two spacerts at a time. You can take this medicine with or without food, but if you take it on an empty stomach, you might take it with food.

Ophthalmic ciprofloxacin comes as a solution (liquid) to apply to the eyes. Ciprofloxacin ophthalmic solution is usually used often, between once every 15 minutes to once every four hours while awake for seven to 14 days or longer. Ciprofloxacin ophthalmic ointment is usually applied three times a day for two days and then twice a day for five days. Use ciprofloxacin ophthalmic at around the same time every day. Follow the directions on your prescription label carefully and ask your doctor or pharmacist to explain any part you do not understand. Use ciprofloxacin ophthalmic exactly as directed. Do not use it more often than prescribed by your doctor.
You should expect your symptoms to improve during your treatment. Call your doctor if your symptoms do not go away or get worse, or if you develop other problems with your eyes during your treatment.
Use ophthalmic ciprofloxacin until you finish the prescription, even if you feel better. If you stop using ophthalmic ciprofloxacin too soon, your infection may not be completely cured and the bacteria may become resistant to antibiotics.
