About Ciplox-TZ Tablet 10's

Ciplox-TZ Tablet 10's is a combination medicine that is primarily used to treat a wide variety of infections which are caused by susceptible Gram-positive organisms, Gram-negative organisms, anaerobes and protozoa. Gram-positive organisms cause bacterial infections such as inflammatory diseases, including skin infections, pneumonia (infection in which there is inflammation of the air sacs in one or both lungs), endocarditis (infection of the inner lining of the heart chamber and heart valves), septic arthritis (inflammation of joints due to infection), osteomyelitis (infection of the bone) and abscesses (collection of pus caused by bacterial infection). Gram-negative organisms, on the other hand, cause infections like pneumonia, bloodstream infections, wound or surgical site infections and meningitis (inflammation of membranes that cover the brain and spinal cord). Anaerobes are responsible for causing skin and soft tissue infections. Examples of infection caused by protozoa include dysentery (inflammation of the colon) and malaria.

Ciplox-TZ Tablet 10's is a combination of two antibiotics that include Ciprofloxacin and Tinidazole. Ciprofloxacin prevents the division of bacterial cells. It also inhibits the repairing of bacterial cells. Both these actions lead to the killing of the bacteria. Tinidazole kills parasites and anaerobic bacteria that are responsible for causing infections. It works by damaging their DNA.

Ciplox-TZ Tablet 10's should be taken in the dose and duration as advised by your doctor. It is advised to take it with food and should be taken at a fixed time to achieve maximum effect.

However, if the side effects are persistent, reach out to your doctor. If you experience any symptoms of an allergic reaction such as rashes, itching, swelling, shortness of breath, etc., please consult your doctor immediately.

It is not advisable to stop this medicine suddenly to avoid unpleasant side effects. Inform your doctor if you have any lung disease, muscle weakness (myasthenia gravis), sleeping disorder or difficulty in sleeping (sleep apnoea), severe liver disease, or problem with alcohol or other prescription recreational drugs.
