Ciplox Tz Strip Of 10 Tablets
Medical Description
Ciplox-TZ tablet is an antibiotic medicine. It is used for the treatment of a wide range of infections caused by bacteria. It is effective for infection of the reproductive tract, tooth, urinary tract, lung, stomach, airways and abdominal infections such as acute diarrhoea or dysentery. It is used to prevent post-surgical infections.
Ciplox-TZ is a combination medicine containing ciprofloxacin and tinidazole as active ingredients. It works by killing the infection-causing bacteria.
The dose, duration and frequency of taking Ciplox-TZ tablets are decided by your doctor. Always take medicine as prescribed by the doctor for the prescribed duration. Do not stop taking medicine even if you feel better, as incomplete treatment may result in treatment failure and the infection might reoccur.
Esipflox Tz tablet, Cifran Ct tablet, Cifomed Tz tablet, Cidalox Tz tablet, and Ciprodex Tz tablet are a few more tablets that also include ciprofloxacin and tinidazole. Any antibiotic medication should not be used when you are not sure if the infection is due to bacteria. The unnecessary use of antibiotics can make them ineffective for future treatment.
Before starting this medicine, inform the doctor if you are pregnant, planning a pregnancy or breastfeeding and about your detailed medical history.
