Cipro XR is an extended release version of Ciprofloxacin, a quinolone class of antibiotic. Cipro XR is administered through a two layered tablet, where one layer is for immediate release and the other is for delayed release, causing a continuous level of medication in your system. Ciprofloxacin is only prescribed for infections caused by bacteria, and works by blocking the proteins certain bacteria need to survive, essentially “starving” the bacteria. You can buy Cipro XR online from a Canadian drug store. These Canadian online pharmacies offer medications such as Cipro XR for up to 80% less than the US, this is because the health care system in Canada is controlled by the government who puts price caps on all drugs.
Cipro XR is generally prescribed for the treatment of urinary tract infections, but can be used to treat other bacterial infections as well. It is not used for the treatment of viral infections such as a cold, flu, or other viral diseases. Those who are allergic to Ciprofloxacin or other quinolone antibiotics should not take Cipro XR, along with pregnant or breastfeeding women, since it is unknown how Cipro XR will affect a fetus or infant.
Tell your doctor of all prescription and over the counter medications you are taking, including vitamin supplements and herbal remedies, since Cipro XR may interact with certain medications, especially those who are taking corticosteroids and the prescription Tizanidine.
Certain foods, medications, and vitamins and minerals can bind with Cipro XR and reduce its effectiveness. Your doctor will give you specific instructions on how to take Ciprofloxacin if necessary. Cipro XR can also react to certain foods. Do not take Ciprofloxacin with dairy products or calcium fortified juices. These can remain as part of your regular diet, but cannot be taken with Cipro XR tablets.
Ciprofloxacin, including Cirpo XR, can cause serious side effects. If you experience any of the following contact your doctor immediately: dizziness, fainting, fast or pounding heartbeat, diarrhea, confusion, hallucinations, depression, unusual thoughts or behavior, seizures or convulsions, pale or yellowed skin, dark urine, fever, weakness, urinating less than usual or not at all, easily bruised or bleeding, fever, sore throat, first sign of rash no matter how mild, numbness, tingling, unusual pain anywhere in the body, and/or headache with severe blistering, peeling, or red rash. Any of these symptoms can indicate a severe reaction to Cipro XR, some of which can be life threatening although extremely rare.
Other side effects can include: nausea, vomiting, dizziness or drowsiness, blurry vision, feeling anxious, nervous, or agitated, sleep problems such as insomnia or nightmares, and increased sensitivity to sunlight. If these symptoms are severe or become worse, notify your doctor. This is not a complete list of possible side effects; report any unusual reactions to Cipro XR to a medical professional.
Canadian online pharmacies not only sell Cipro XR at an affordable price but they also have other prescription drugs online as well as over the counter medications and other health care products and supplies you may need, all for a cheap price.
