1.1. What is Ciprinol?
Ciprinol 200mg is used to treat conditions such as prostatitis, osteomyelitis, severe bacterial enteritis, sepsis, and infections in other organs or parts of the body.

- Acute and chronic glomerulonephritis, prostatitis, cystitis.
- Otitis media or sinusitis.
- Gonococcal infections.
- Skin and soft tissue infections.
- Infectious diarrhea, peritonitis, cholangitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and osteoarthritis infections.
- Sepsis.
Contraindications:
- People allergic to Quinolone antibiotics. Children are much less likely to receive Cipronol due to risk of severe adverse effects
- Individuals hypersensitive to any components or excipients of the drug.
- Other cases as specified in Ciprinol's usage instructions or the doctor's prescription.
2. How to use Ciprinol

Managing missed doses:
If a dose is missed during the treatment process, take it as soon as you remember (Usually, the medication can be taken 1 to 2 hours before or after the time prescribed by the doctor). If it is close to the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue with the regular schedule. Do not double the dose to make up for the missed one.
Overdose management:
In emergencies or if an overdose occurs with dangerous symptoms, immediately call Emergency Center 115 or go to the nearest medical facility. Relatives should provide doctors with the list of drugs or prescriptions being used for timely diagnosis.
3. Precautions when using Ciprinol
Dosage should be reduced in patients with impaired kidney or liver function. For those with renal dysfunction, with low dose using, adjustments are not necessary. In contrast, high doses intake should be adjusted pivot on creatinine clearance or serum creatinine levels.
Use caution in patients with central nervous system disorders such as cerebral arteriosclerosis or epilepsy.
During pregnancy:
Patients should carefully consider and consult a doctor or pharmacist before using Ciprinol, as drugs, even after testing, may pose risks.
During breastfeeding:
