Ciprofloxacin 250 mg dosage varies depending on the infection. For uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTIs), a common regimen is 250 mg twice daily for 3-7 days. More severe UTIs or infections affecting the kidneys may require a higher dose or longer treatment duration.
Respiratory Infections
For acute bacterial exacerbations of chronic bronchitis, doctors often prescribe 250 mg twice daily for 7-10 days. Pneumonia treatment usually involves higher doses and longer durations, often exceeding 750 mg per day.
Skin and Soft Tissue Infections
Skin infections, like cellulitis, may be treated with 250 mg twice daily for 7-14 days. The specific duration depends on the severity and the patient’s response to treatment. More serious infections might necessitate intravenous administration.
Gastrointestinal Infections
Ciprofloxacin is sometimes used to treat specific types of bacterial gastroenteritis. Dosage recommendations in this context are very specific to the infecting organism and the individual case and should be directed by a physician.
