Want this question answered?
should a senior(84) take 500 mg. of ciprofloxacin since I cant take bactrim.
Cipro and Tylenol may interact. It is recommended that you talk to your doctor before taking both together. Therefore there is a some risk in taking both but it is not high. If Cipro is being taken for a urinary tract infection and the pain is related to the infection it may be more beneficial to take the over the counter drug Azo.
Answer is already in your question. 500 mg is strength of Ciprofloxacin.
An oblong tablet imprinted with "CR 500" is generally 500mg ciprofloxacin hydrochloride, used in the treatment of sinusitis, bladder infection, and other bacterial infections. Commonly called "Cipro," it is an antibiotic in the class fluoroquinolones.

no, its an antibiotic. they only kill bacteria.
ciprofloxacin for sinus infections
Ciprofloxacin is used to treat infections of the skin, lungs, bones, and joints caused by bacteria. Ciprofloxacin is most commonly used to treat urinary infections and infectious diarrhea often caused by E. coli.
After a bit of digging - It's apparently Ciprofloxacin. It has a number of uses in the medical field - see relate link for Wikipedia's entry.
If that is how they are prescribed. However if the prescription says to take one at a time, it isn't.
Not sure... But doctor has given me like that... Mox 500 / Cambiflam + Cetzine.
Cipro is not the first line antibiotic of choice for pneumonia. Levaquin is the first choice. Levaquin is expensive. It is usually given IV for the first dose in order to speed up effectiveness, then by table form, one 500 mg per day for ten days.
