Axcin Tab 500mg 10's

Axcin 500mg tablet is a medication that contains the active ingredient Ciprofloxacin. Ciprofloxacin is a fluoroquinolone antibiotic commonly used to treat various bacterial infections, including those affecting the eyes and surrounding structures. 

The Axcin 500mg tablet is specifically used for the treatment of superficial bacterial eye infections, adnexa infections (infections of the structures around the eye, such as the eye orbit, conjunctiva, and eyelids), and corneal ulcers (which involve inflammation of a part of the eye called the cornea).

The way Ciprofloxacin works is by inhibiting the growth and replication of bacteria. It does this by interfering with the bacterial DNA replication process, ultimately leading to the death of the bacteria causing the infection.

• The typical dosage for adults is 250-750 mg of Ciprofloxacin taken twice daily (bid).

• Axcin, a 500mg tablet, can be taken with or without food, but it's generally recommended to take it at the same time every day to ensure consistent levels of the medication in your body.

• Treatment duration usually lasts 1-2 weeks, depending on the severity of the infection and the individual's response to the medication.
• It's important to follow the prescribed dosage and treatment duration as instructed by your doctor.

• Nausea
• Vomiting
• Diarrhea
• Stomach upset or abdominal pain
• Headache
• Dizziness or lightheadedness
• Rash or itching
