Zipro 500mg Drop is an antibiotic. It works by stopping the action of a bacterial enzyme called DNA-gyrase. This prevents the bacterial cells from dividing and repairing, thereby killing them.
Ciprofloxacin and the fluoroquinolones in general are no more likely to select resistant mutants than are aminoglycosides or β-lactam antibiotics. Ciprofloxacin displays in vitro activity against most Gram-negative and many Grampositive pathogenic bacteria, many of which are resistant to a wide range of antibiotics.
Most side effects do not require any medical attention and disappear as your body adjusts to the medicine. Consult your doctor if they persist or if you’re worried about them
