You can't. Liquid Ciprofloxacin is a "suspension." You shake the bottle until the product is evenly mixed throughout it, pour out the dose and give it to the person taking it, and when you stick the bottle back in the fridge the medicine will sink to the bottom in a short period of time.

However, cipro itself is noted by at least one supplier as being soluble in water (30 mg/ml), so if you don't need it to be too concentrated, just putting it in water and stirring should work. If that fails, salts are generally more soluble than the "free base" form, so you could try that.

ciprofloxacin HCL is more soluble in water than acetone or propan-2-ol.

however some chemists claim it's best soluble in glycerin. i have not personally tried that out though.

Can Levofloxacin be given in breast feeding mothers?

As i research it is Levofloxacin is the S-enantiomer of the fluoroquinolone, ofloxacin. Fluoroquinolones such as levofloxacin have traditionally not been used in infants because of concern about adverse effects on the infants' developing joints. However, recent studies indicate little risk.[1][2] The calcium in milk might prevent absorption of the small amounts of fluoroquinolones in milk,[3] but insufficient data exist to prove or disprove this assertion. Short-term use of levofloxacin is acceptable in nursing mothers. Avoiding breastfeeding between 4 to 6 hours after a dose should decrease the exposure of the infant to levofloxacin in breastmilk. Maternal use of an eye drop that contains levofloxacin presents negligible risk for the nursing infant.
