Mercip Tablets 500mg (Ciprofloxacin HCl)

Ciprofloxacin is indicated for the treatment of urinary tract infections (including complicated UTIs), lower respiratory tract infections, gastrointestinal infections, skin and soft tissue infections, bone and joint infections, and other infections caused by susceptible organisms, as determined by the prescribing physician. Susceptibility testing is recommended where feasible.
