Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that belongs to the fluoroquinolone class, primarily used to treat bacterial infections. It works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes critical for DNA replication and repair. Commonly prescribed for conditions such as urinary tract infections, respiratory infections, and certain types of gastroenteritis, it is effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria. However, due to potential side effects and the risk of antibiotic resistance, it is generally prescribed with caution.
