Ciprozid-XR Tablet 1000 mg is a high-strength, extended-release fluoroquinolone antibiotic containing Ciprofloxacin, formulated for the treatment of serious bacterial infections. Ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, enzymes essential for bacterial DNA replication, transcription, and repair. By disrupting these processes, it effectively prevents bacterial growth and kills susceptible bacteria, allowing the body to overcome infections efficiently.

The extended-release (XR) formulation ensures sustained therapeutic levels in the bloodstream over a prolonged period, allowing for once- or twice-daily dosing depending on the infection. This improves patient compliance while providing effective, high-concentration antibacterial therapy for moderate to severe infections.
