Ciprofloxacin XR Overview
Ciprofloxacin XR is used to treat kidney or urinary tract infections. Ciprofloxacin belongs to a class of drugs called quinolone antibiotics. It works by stopping the growth of bacteria. This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for virus infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections.

Tendon damage may occur during or after treatment with Ciprofloxacin XR. Stop exercising, rest, and get medical help right away if you develop joint/muscle/tendon pain or swelling. Your risk for tendon problems is greater if you are over 60 years of age, if you are taking corticosteroids (such as prednisone), or if you have a kidney, heart, or lung transplant. Ciprofloxacin XR may make a certain muscle condition (myasthenia gravis) worse.
