Cipromac Tz Tab (20 X 10) Ciprofloxacin 500 + Tinidazole 600 By Martin & Brown

What is it used for?
This prescription combination is used to treat certain bacterial and parasitic infections of the digestive tract that may cause infectious diarrhoea or dysentery. It should be used only when prescribed by a healthcare professional.

How does it work?
Ciprofloxacin stops susceptible bacteria from multiplying. Tinidazole damages the DNA of certain parasites and anaerobic bacteria, helping clear the infection.

How to take/use it
Take it exactly as prescribed and complete the course, even if symptoms improve. Swallow with water. Do not take it together with antacids or supplements containing iron, calcium, magnesium or zinc; ask a pharmacist about the appropriate time gap. Avoid alcohol while taking it and for 3 days after the last dose.

Common side effects
Nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, diarrhoea, headache, dizziness and a metallic taste.

Precautions
Tell the doctor about pregnancy, breastfeeding, kidney problems, seizures, heart rhythm problems, tendon disorders or previous reactions to quinolone antibiotics. Seek medical help for tendon pain or swelling, numbness or tingling, severe or bloody diarrhoea, rash, breathing difficulty or other serious symptoms. Do not self-medicate or use it for ordinary non-infectious diarrhoea.
