Ecoflox 500mg Tablet is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic for moderate bacterial infections including certain urinary tract, gastrointestinal, and respiratory infections. It’s valued for convenient twice-daily dosing and broad coverage when guided by local susceptibility patterns.
Available Product Formulations
Tablet: 500 mg ciprofloxacin.
Uses
Uncomplicated and complicated UTIs, bacterial gastroenteritis (e.g., traveler’s diarrhea due to susceptible strains), certain bone/joint infections, and selected respiratory infections per clinician judgment.
How to Use
- Dosage: Adults commonly 500 mg every 12 hours (indication-specific).
- Duration: Typically 3–14 days depending on infection site and severity.
Side Effects
Nausea, diarrhea, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness. Rare but serious: tendonitis/tendon rupture, CNS effects, QT prolongation, photosensitivity.
Interactions
Antacids/iron/zinc reduce absorption; separate by ≥2 hours. May increase effects of warfarin. Caution with QT-prolonging drugs.
Warnings
Avoid in pregnancy and children unless no alternatives. Risk of tendon injury—higher in older adults and those on corticosteroids. Use guided by culture/resistance patterns in Tanzania to help curb antimicrobial resistance.
