Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic that can be used to treat certain bacterial infections, including some bowel infections caused by susceptible organisms. It is effective against a range of gram-negative bacteria, which are often involved in gastrointestinal infections. However, its use should be guided by susceptibility testing and clinical judgment, as not all bowel infections require antibiotic treatment, and some may be better treated with other antibiotics. Always consult a healthcare professional for appropriate diagnosis and treatment options.

What is ciprofloxacillin?

"Ciprofloxacillin" doesn't exist. Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic often used for respiratory and urinary tract infections. The "-cillin" suffix is afixed to medications in the penicillin class (amoxicillin, piperacillin, nafcillin), which are beta-lactams rather than fluoroquinolones. They are commonly used against skin and skin-structure infections. -Friendly Neighborhood Pharmacist
