Flontin Tablet 500 mg contains Ciprofloxacin, a broad-spectrum fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat moderate to severe bacterial infections. It is effective against a wide range of Gram-negative and some Gram-positive bacteria, making it suitable for urinary tract infections, respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, skin and soft tissue infections, and certain sexually transmitted infections.

Ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting bacterial DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV, preventing bacterial DNA replication and effectively eliminating infection.
