ALERT: US Boxed Warning
Serious adverse reactions:

Fluoroquinolones have been associated with disabling and potentially irreversible serious adverse reactions that have occurred together, including: tendinopathy and tendon rupture, peripheral neuropathy, and CNS effects. Discontinue ciprofloxacin immediately and avoid the use of fluoroquinolones in patients who experience any of these serious adverse reactions. Because fluoroquinolones have been associated with serious adverse reactions, reserve ciprofloxacin for use in patients who have no alternative treatment options for the following indications: acute exacerbation of chronic bronchitis, acute sinusitis, and acute uncomplicated cystitis.

Exacerbation of myasthenia gravis:

Fluoroquinolones may exacerbate muscle weakness in patients with myasthenia gravis. Avoid ciprofloxacin in patients with known history of myasthenia gravis.

Augmented renal clearance (measured urinary CrCl ≥130 mL/minute/1.73 m2): Augmented renal clearance (ARC) is a condition that occurs in certain critically ill patients without organ dysfunction and with normal serum creatinine concentrations. Young patients (<55 years of age) admitted post-trauma or major surgery are at highest risk for ARC, as well as those with sepsis, burns, or hematologic malignancies. An 8- to 24-hour measured urinary CrCl is necessary to identify these patients (Ref).

IV: 400 mg every 8 hours when organism minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) ≤0.125 mg/L. Monte Carlo simulations suggest a dose of 600 mg every 8 hours may be required to achieve pharmacodynamic goals for organisms with MICs >0.125 mg/L (Ref); monitor closely, especially with prolonged courses, or utilize another agent (Ref).

CRRT: Drug clearance is dependent on the effluent flow rate, filter type, and method of renal replacement. Recommendations are based on high-flux dialyzers and effluent flow rates of 20 to 25 mL/kg/hour (or ~1,500 to 3,000 mL/hour) unless otherwise noted. Appropriate dosing requires consideration of adequate drug concentrations (eg, site of infection) and consideration of initial loading doses. Close monitoring of response and adverse reactions (eg, neurotoxicity) due to drug accumulation is important.

IV: 200 to 400 mg every 8 to 12 hours (Ref). Note: Utilize 400 mg every 8 hours only in severe infections or when difficult-to-treat organisms (MIC ≥0.5 mg/L) are suspected or confirmed (Ref); monitor closely.

Oral, immediate release: 250 to 750 mg every 12 hours (expert opinion inferred from relative IV clearance).

PIRRT (eg, sustained, low-efficiency diafiltration): Drug clearance is dependent on the effluent flow rate, filter type, and method of renal replacement. Appropriate dosing requires consideration of adequate drug concentrations (eg, site of infection) and consideration of initial loading doses. Close monitoring of response and adverse reactions (eg, neurotoxicity) due to drug accumulation is important. Dosing based on Monte Carlo simulations of 8- to 10-hour treatments with 4 to 5 L/hour flow rates.

IV: 400 mg every 12 hours assuming MIC susceptibility breakpoint ≤0.5 mg/L (Ref).

Oral, immediate release: 500 mg every 12 hours (administer after PIRRT) (expert opinion inferred from relative IV clearance).

Dosing: Hepatic Impairment: Adult

The hepatic dosing recommendations are based upon the best available evidence and clinical expertise. Senior Editorial Team: Matt Harris, PharmD, MHS, BCPS, FAST, Jeong Park, PharmD, MS, BCTXP, FCCP, FAST, Arun Jesudian, MD, Sasan Sakiani, MD

Initial or dose titration in patients with preexisting liver cirrhosis or dosage adjustment in patients with chronic, worsening hepatic function during treatment:

Child-Turcotte-Pugh class A through C: IV, Oral: No dosage adjustment necessary (Ref).

Acute worsening of hepatic function (eg, requiring hospitalization): No dosage adjustment necessary; however, consider discontinuation of ciprofloxacin therapy in patients with suspected ciprofloxacin-induced liver injury unless the benefits outweigh the risks (Ref).

Dosing: Older Adult

Refer to adult dosing.

Dosing: Pediatric

(For additional information see "Ciprofloxacin (systemic): Pediatric drug information")

Dosage guidance:

Dosa ge form information: Oral liquid products are available in 2 concentrations (ie, 50 mg/mL and 100 mg/mL); verify product selection; use caution.

Clinical considerations: Fluoroquinolones should not typically be used as first-line therapy due to their adverse effect profile and risk of development of bacterial resistance. Only use in situations when there is no safe and effective substitute available (eg, drug resistance, allergy) or when oral fluoroquinolone therapy provides a reasonable alternative to parenteral therapy (Ref).

General dosing:

Adverse Reactions (Significant): Considerations
Aortic aneurysm/aortic dissection

Fluoroquinolones have been associated with aortic aneurysm and aortic dissection with risk of aortic aneurysm higher than aortic dissection. Risk of aortic dissection may be lower with ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin than with levofloxacin (Ref).

Mechanism: Time-related; up-regulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes capable of damaging components of the extracellular matrix, including collagen and elastin (Ref). MMP-2 and MMP-9 have been shown to play a role in development of aneurysms via degradation of collagen fibril (Ref). May also have a direct effect on the viability of chondrocytes and tenocytes responsible for collagen synthesis, due to generation of reactive oxygen species, caspase activation, and apoptosis (Ref).

Onset: Delayed in most cases. Studies evaluating risk generally evaluated the time period of 60 days after the initiation of fluoroquinolone therapy (Ref).

Risk factors:

• Older adults with peripheral vascular disease or a history of aneurysms, atherosclerosis, hypertension, or genetic conditions predisposing to aortic aneurysm (eg, Marfan syndrome, Ehlers-Danlos syndrome) (Ref)

• Longer courses of therapy (>14 days) (Ref)

• Severe emotional or physical stress has been correlated to the onset of pain (Ref)

Arthropathy/arthralgia

Arthropathy, or joint disease, has been observed in both animal and pediatric human studies following treatment with fluoroquinolone antibiotics, including ciprofloxacin (Ref). In an international, multicenter, randomized trial of ~700 pediatric patients (ciprofloxacin versus comparator), more patients in the ciprofloxacin group experienced musculoskeletal events both within 6 weeks and 1 year of follow-up. Arthropathy and arthralgias appear to resolve after discontinuation of treatment with no long-term sequelae (Ref). Though the true incidence is unknown, arthropathy and arthralgia are considered to be infrequent, but potentially serious adverse reactions.

Mechanism: Unknown; several hypotheses have been proposed including inhibition of mitochondria DNA synthesis in immature chondrocytes, direct toxic effect of fluoride on cartilage, magnesium chelation and subsequent deficiency in cartilage, and defective proteoglycan and procollagen synthesis with decreased incorporation of tritiated thymidine by chondrocytes (Ref).

Onset: Varied; may occur within first day of treatment initiation or months following discontinuation (Ref).

Risk factors:

• Higher doses (Ref)

• Prolonged exposure (Ref)

CNS effects/neuroexcitation

Fluoroquinolones have been associated with a range of psychiatric and neurologic effects, ranging from dizziness and restlessness to toxic psychosis (Ref). More common reactions include confusion, agitation, insomnia, and drowsiness. More severe reactions, including delusions, hallucinations, suicidal ideation, suicidal tendencies, and toxic psychosis, are less common. Neuroexcitation may include seizure in some patients (Ref).

Mechanism: GABA binding disruption, NMDA binding alterations, and increased excitatory neurotransmitters (Ref). Mitochondrial dysfunction has been hypothesized to contribute (Ref).

Onset: Varied; neuroexcitatory phenomena generally occur in the first week of therapy, often after 2 to 3 days (Ref).

Risk factors:

• Older adults (Ref)

• Kidney impairment with unadjusted or higher doses (Ref)

• Concurrent therapy with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) have been associated with enhanced neuroexcitation (Ref)

• Concurrent theophylline (Ref)

• History of seizures, seizure disorders, CNS disorders, or concurrent therapy with medications known to lower seizure threshold may increase risk of seizures (Ref)

• History of or risk factor for mental illness (eg, depression)

Clostridioides difficile infection

Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), including Clostridioides difficile associated diarrhea and Clostridioides difficile colitis, has been reported (Ref).

Onset: Varied; may start on the first day of antibiotic therapy or up to 3 months postantibiotic (Ref).

Risk factors:

• Antibiotic exposure (highest risk factor) (Ref)

• Type of antibiotic (fluoroquinolones among the highest risk) (Ref)

• Long durations in a hospital or other health care setting (recent or current) (Ref)

• Older adults (Ref)

• Immunocompromised conditions (Ref)

• A serious underlying condition (Ref)

• GI surgery/manipulation (Ref)

• Antiulcer medications (eg, proton pump inhibitors and H2 blockers) (Ref)

• Chemotherapy (Ref)

Glucose regulation/dysglycemia

Hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia have been associated with the use of fluoroquinolones, including ciprofloxacin.

Mechanism: Increase in insulin release via blockade of adenosine triphosphate-sensitive potassium channels in the pancreatic beta cells, but the significance at clinical concentrations has been questioned (Ref). Additionally, effects on gluconeogenesis, glucose transport (via expression of GLUT-1), and mitochondrial dysfunction have been implicated (Ref).

Onset: Varied; corresponds to the initiation of therapy but may be delayed by 2 to 3 days. Events requiring emergent care or hospitalization occurred between day 3 and day 10 of therapy (Ref).

Risk factors:

• Patients with diabetes are at highest risk; however, cases in patients without diabetes have been reported (Ref)

• Concurrent therapy with hypoglycemic agents, including insulin (Ref)

Hepatotoxicity

Ciprofloxacin may cause hepatic injury (hepatotoxicity); both cholestatic and hepatocellular patterns are represented in reported clinical presentations (Ref).

Mechanism: Immunologic reactions account for many events; direct toxicity related to mitochondrial dysfunction and increased oxidative stress may also be responsible for some reactions (Ref).

Onset: Varied; acute liver injury may occur in a range of 1 to 39 days.

Risk factors:

Most fatal events occurred in patients >55 years of age

Hypersensitivity reactions (immediate and delayed)

Hypersensitivity reactions include anaphylaxis, nonimmune anaphylaxis, and delayed cutaneous reactions.

Delayed cutaneous reactions include severe dermatologic reactions, acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis, drug reaction with eosinophilia and systems symptoms, Stevens-Johnson syndrome, and toxic epidermal necrolysis (Ref). Less severe reactions include nonbullous and bullous fixed drug eruption (Ref).

Immunologically mediated organ-specific reactions include pneumonitis, vasculitis, pancreatitis, interstitial nephritis, hemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, and some cases of hepatitis (Ref).

Mechanism: Nonimmune anaphylaxis results from binding directly to specific receptors (MGPRX2) on mast cells and basophils, causing direct stimulation of histamine release (and other mediators) (Ref). Importantly, these cases may occur without prior exposure. In other cases, anaphylaxis may be mediated by IgE, formed with prior exposure to the drug (Ref).

Delayed reactions are mediated by activated T-cells. Chemical activation of fluoroquinolones was not required for immune reactions to occur, which implies direct activation (pharmacologic interaction) without covalent binding to host proteins/hapten formation (Ref). Ciprofloxacin forms metabolites, but haptens have not been characterized to date.

Onset: Anaphylaxis (nonimmune and immune): Rapid; may occur within an hour of administration (Ref). Other reactions, particularly various maculopapular cutaneous reactions or organ-specific reactions: Varied; occur after days to weeks of therapy (Ref).

Risk factors:

Nonimmune anaphylaxis may be dose- and/or infusion rate-related (concentration-related) (Ref)

Myasthenia gravis

Fluoroquinolones, including ciprofloxacin, may cause an exacerbation of myasthenia gravis. Disease exacerbations vary in severity from muscular weakness to severe compromise (myasthenic crisis characterized by acute respiratory failure) (Ref).

Mechanism: Neuromuscular blockade is the most frequently cited mechanism, although alterations in mitochondrial energy production has also been suggested as a contributing mechanism (Ref).

Onset: Rapid; within hours of the initiation of therapy with a fluoroquinolone (Ref)

Risk factors:

Patients with myasthenia gravis (diagnosed and undiagnosed) (Ref)

Peripheral neuropathy

Fluoroquinolones have been associated with peripheral neuropathy and other effects, including axonal neuropathy and Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS) (Ref). Associated with many types of disturbances of special senses, including several case reports indicating a very slow recovery and/or permanent state of disability (Ref).

Mechanism: Mitochondrial effects related to reactive oxygen species and apoptotic changes (Ref).

Onset: Varied; may present as early as the first day of therapy (Ref).

Risk factors:

Males (Ref)

Older adults (>60 years of age) (Ref)

Duration of therapy (Ref)

Type 1 diabetes may also be a risk factor (data are limited) (Ref)

History of peripheral neuropathy

Phototoxicity/photoallergy

Phototoxicity/skin photosensitivity account for a proportion of the overall cutaneous adverse reactions (Ref). Published reports with ciprofloxacin are limited; may be more common with other fluoroquinolones (Ref).

Mechanism: Non-dose-related; immunologic. Reactive intermediates are generated by ultraviolet exposure and attach to proteins of Langerhans cells, triggering immune reactions (Ref).

Onset: Rapid; in a study with ofloxacin, occurred within 24 hours of initiation and sun exposure (Ref).

Risk factors:

Duration and intensity of sun exposure

Cystic fibrosis (Ref)

Prior phototoxic reaction to another fluoroquinolone (Ref)

QT prolongation

Fluoroquinolones may be associated with prolonged QT interval on ECG and ventricular arrhythmias, such as torsades de pointes (TdP). Ciprofloxacin may have a lower risk than other fluoroquinolones, particularly moxifloxacin (Ref). Change in QTc from baseline for moxifloxacin was found to be +16.34 to 17.83 ms, while the change with ciprofloxacin was +2.27 to 4.93 ms (Ref).

Mechanism: May alter the rapid delayed rectifier potassium current, resulting in prolonged repolarization (Ref). Prolonged repolarization can alter action potentials in cardiac cells and promote arrhythmogenic activity (Ref).

Onset: Varied; effect is concentration-dependent, initially observed at supra-therapeutic doses (Ref). High dose or accumulation may influence concentrations.

Risk factors:

Drug-induced QTc prolongation/TdP (in general):

• Females (Ref)

• Age >65 years (Ref)

• Structural heart disease (eg, history of myocardial infarction or heart failure with reduced ejection fraction) (Ref)

• History of drug-induced TdP (Ref)

• Genetic defects of cardiac ion channels (Ref)

• Congenital long QT syndrome (Ref)

• History of drug-induced TdP (Ref)

• Baseline QT interval prolongation (eg, >500 msec) or lengthening of the QTc by ≥60 msec (Ref)

• Electrolyte disturbances (eg, hypocalcemia, hypokalemia, hypomagnesemia) (Ref)

• Bradycardia (Ref)

• Hepatic impairment (Ref)

• Kidney impairment (Ref)

• Loop diuretic use (Ref)

• Sepsis (Ref)

• Concurrent administration of multiple medications (≥2) that prolong the QT interval or increase drug interactions that increase serum drug concentrations of QT prolonging medications (Ref)

Tendinopathy/tendon rupture

Ciprofloxacin may cause tendinopathy or rupture of tendon; Achilles is most commonly cited, but inflammation/rupture of many other tendons (including hand, rotator cuff, biceps, and thumb) has been reported (Ref).

Mechanism: Dose- and time-related; upregulation of matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) enzymes capable of damaging components of the extracellular matrix, including collagen and elastin (Ref). Direct effect on the viability of chondrocytes and tenocytes responsible for collagen synthesis, due to generation of reactive oxygen species, caspase activation and apoptosis (Ref).

Onset: Varied; per the manufacturer's labeling, tendinopathy or tendon rupture may occur within hours or days of initiation or may be delayed for several months after discontinuation.

Risk factors:

• Age >60 years (Ref)

• Corticosteroid therapy (Ref)

• Kidney failure (Ref)

• Diabetes mellitus (Ref)

• Previous tendon disorders (eg, rheumatoid arthritis) (Ref)

• Solid organ transplant recipients (Ref)

• Strenuous physical activity (Ref)

• Longer duration of therapy and higher dosages (Ref)

Warnings/Precautions

Concerns related to adverse effects:

• Crystalluria: Rarely, crystalluria has occurred; urine alkalinity may increase the risk. Ensure adequate hydration during therapy.

• Superinfection: Prolonged use may result in fungal or bacterial superinfection.

Disease-related concerns:

• Renal impairment: Use with caution in patients with renal impairment; dosage adjustment required.

• Syphilis: Since ciprofloxacin is ineffective in the treatment of syphilis and may mask symptoms, all patients should be tested for syphilis at the time of gonorrheal diagnosis and 3 months later.

Special populations:

• Older adult: Adverse effects (eg, tendon rupture, QT changes) may be increased in elderly patients.

• G6PD deficiency: Hemolytic reactions may (rarely) occur with fluoroquinolone use in patients with G6PD deficiency (Luzzatto 2020).

• Pediatric: Adverse effects, including those related to joints and/or surrounding tissues, are increased in pediatric patients and therefore, ciprofloxacin should not be considered as drug of choice in children (exception is anthrax treatment).

Administration: Adult

Oral: May administer with most foods to minimize GI upset; avoid antacid use; maintain proper hydration and urine output. Avoid concomitant administration with dairy products (eg, milk, yogurt) or calcium-fortified products alone; however, may be taken with meals that contain these products; separate administration of extended-release tablets [Canadian product] and calcium >800 mg by at least 2 hours. Administer all oral ciprofloxacin formulations at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after antacids or other products containing calcium, iron, or zinc. Separate oral administration from drugs that may impair absorption (see "Drug Interactions").

Oral suspension: Should not be administered through feeding tubes (suspension is oil-based and adheres to the feeding tube). Shake vigorously before use for ~15 seconds; administer using the co-packaged graduated teaspoon. Do not chew the microcapsules in the suspension; swallow whole.

Nasogastric/orogastric tube: Crush immediate-release tablet and mix with 20 to 60 mL water. Flush feeding tube before and after administration. Do not administer simultaneously with enteral nutrition (Ref). Optimal time frame for dose separation is unknown; one recommendation is to hold tube feedings at least 2 hours before and 4 hours after administration, which may require adjustment of feeding rates to compensate for lost feeding time (Ref).

Tablet, extended release [Canadian product]: Do not crush, split, or chew.

Bariatric surgery: Some institutions may have specific protocols that conflict with these recommendations; refer to institutional protocols as appropriate. Switch to IR formulation (tablet or oral solution).

Parenteral: Administer by slow IV infusion over 60 minutes into a large vein (reduces risk of venous irritation).

Administration: Pediatric

Oral: May administer with food to minimize GI upset; avoid concomitant administration with dairy products (eg, milk, yogurt) or calcium-fortified juices alone; however, may be taken with meals that contain these products. Administer ≥2 hours before or 6 hours after antacids or other products containing calcium, iron, or zinc; see drug interactions database for details. Maintain adequate hydration and urine output.

Oral suspension: Shake vigorously for ~15 seconds prior to each dose. Should not be administered through feeding tubes (suspension is oil-based and adheres to the feeding tube). Do not chew the microcapsules in the suspension; swallow whole.

Missed dose: Immediate release (oral suspension, tablet): Administer as soon as possible if ≥6 hours until next scheduled dose; otherwise, wait until next scheduled dose.

Nasogastric/orogastric tube: Do not administer commercially available oral suspension via feeding tube; however, an extemporaneously compounded solution may be prepared with immediate-release tablets or tablets may be crushed and administered.

Immediate-release tablet: Crush immediate-release tablet and mix with at least 20 mL water, rinsing container to ensure all drug is administered. Flush feeding tube before and after administration. Do not administer simultaneously with enteral nutrition; optimal time frame for dose separation is unknown. One recommendation is to hold tube feedings for 2 hours before and 4 hours after dose administration, which may require adjustment of feeding rates to compensate for lost feeding time (Ref).

Parenteral: Administer by slow IV infusion over 60 minutes to reduce the risk of venous irritation (burning, pain, erythema, and swelling).

Food Interactions

Food decreases rate, but not extent, of absorption. Ciprofloxacin may increase serum caffeine levels if taken concurrently. Rarely, crystalluria may occur. Enteral feedings may decrease plasma concentrations of ciprofloxacin probably by >30% inhibition of absorption. Management: May administer with most foods to minimize GI upset. If unable to avoid concomitant administration with dairy products or calcium-fortified products alone, administer ciprofloxacin at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after these foods/products; however, may be taken with meals that contain these products. Separate administration of extended-release tablets [Canadian product] and calcium >800 mg by at least 2 hours. Restrict caffeine intake if excessive cardiac or CNS stimulation occurs. Ensure adequate hydration during therapy. Ciprofloxacin should not be administered with enteral feedings. The feeding would need to be discontinued for 1 to 2 hours prior to and after ciprofloxacin administration. Nasogastric administration produces a greater loss of ciprofloxacin bioavailability than does nasoduodenal administration.

Pregnancy Considerations

Ciprofloxacin crosses the placenta and produces measurable concentrations in the amniotic fluid and cord serum (Ludlam 1997).

Based on available data, an increased risk of major birth defects, miscarriage, or other adverse fetal and maternal outcomes have not been observed following ciprofloxacin use during pregnancy.

Due to pregnancy-induced physiologic changes, some pharmacokinetic properties of ciprofloxacin may be altered. Serum concentrations of ciprofloxacin may be lower during pregnancy than in nonpregnant patients (Giamarellou 1989).

Untreated plague (Yersinia pestis) infections in pregnant patients may result in hemorrhage (including postpartum hemorrhage), maternal and fetal death, preterm birth, and stillbirth. Limited data suggest maternal-fetal transmission of Y. pestis can occur if not treated. Pregnant patients should be treated for Y. pestis; parenteral antibiotics are preferred for initial treatment when otherwise appropriate. Ciprofloxacin is one of the fluroquinolones recommended for use (in combination with an aminoglycoside) for treating pregnant patients with bubonic, pharyngeal, pneumonic, or septicemic plague. Ciprofloxacin may also be used for pre- and postexposure prophylaxis in pregnant patients exposed to Y. pestis. Dose adjustments may be required (CDC [Nelson 2021]).

Ciprofloxacin is recommended for prophylaxis and treatment of pregnant patients exposed to anthrax (Meaney-Delman 2014). Alternative antibiotics are recommended in pregnant patients for indications such as chancroid (CDC [Workowski 2021]), meningococcal disease (CDC [Cohn 2013]), or perianal disease and pouchitis in pregnant patients with inflammatory bowel disease (AGA [Mahadevan 2019]).

Breastfeeding Considerations

Ciprofloxacin is present in breast milk.

Information related to the presence of ciprofloxacin in breast milk is available from 10 lactating women given oral ciprofloxacin 750 mg every 12 hours for 3 doses. Average milk concentrations were highest 2 hours after the dose (3.79 mcg/mL) and decreased to 0.02 mcg/mL 24 hours after the last dose (Giamarellou 1989). Using the milk concentration of 3.79 mcg/mL, another author has estimated the potential infant dosage via breastfeeding would be ≤0.569 mg/kg/day (Chung 2002), providing a relative infant dose (RID) of 2.8%, based on an infant therapeutic dose of 20 mg/kg/day. In general, breastfeeding is considered acceptable when the RID is <10% (Anderson 2016; Ito 2000).

There is a case report of perforated pseudomembranous colitis in a breastfeeding infant whose mother was taking ciprofloxacin (Harmon 1992). In general, antibiotics that are present in breast milk may cause non-dose-related modification of bowel flora. Monitor infants for GI disturbances, such as thrush or diarrhea (WHO 2002).

The risk for transmission of plague (Y. pestis) via breast milk is considered low. Patients with pneumonic plague can breastfeed if both the mother and infant are receiving antibiotic treatment or the infant is receiving postexposure prophylaxis, considering the risk of exposure to the drug via breast milk. If the infant is not being treated, breast milk should be expressed for at least 48 hours of maternal antibiotic therapy to limit person-to-person contact with the infant. The expressed breast milk may be given to the infant. Once maternal clinical improvement is observed, direct breastfeeding may resume. Patients taking ciprofloxacin for the treatment of plague can decrease infant exposure via breast milk by feeding 3 to 4 hours after the dose (CDC [Nelson 2021]).

Ciprofloxacin is recommended for the prophylaxis and treatment of Bacillus anthracis in breastfeeding patients (Meaney-Delman 2014). Alternative antibiotics are recommended in breastfeeding patients for the treatment of chancroid (CDC [Workowski 2021]) or meningococcal disease (CDC [Cohn 2013]). In general, quinolone antibiotics should be avoided in breastfeeding patients if alternative agents are available (WHO 2002). Based on adverse outcomes observed in animal studies, the manufacturer recommends that breastfeeding be discontinued during therapy and for 2 days after the last ciprofloxacin dose if used for indications other than treating maternal B. anthracis. Mothers may express and discard milk during this time.

Dietary Considerations

Food: May be taken with meals that contain dairy products (eg, milk, yogurt) or calcium-fortified products, but not with these products alone; separate administration of extended-release tablets [Canadian product] and calcium >800 mg by at least 2 hours

Caffeine: Patients consuming regular large quantities of caffeinated beverages may need to restrict caffeine intake if excessive cardiac or CNS stimulation occurs.

Monitoring Parameters

CBC, renal and hepatic function during prolonged therapy, altered mental status, signs and symptoms of tendinopathy (tendon pain, swelling, inflammation, or rupture) or peripheral neuropathy; signs and symptoms of disordered glucose regulation (especially in patients with diabetes mellitus); rash; signs and symptoms of hypersensitivity reaction.
