Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antimicrobial carboxyfluoroquinoline used to treat urinary tract infections, uncomplicated cystitis, prostatitis, lower respiratory tract infections, sinusitis, skin infections, bone and joint infections, infectious diarrhea, tyfoid fever, cervical and urethral gonorrhea, and post-exposure anthrax. Because it works by a different mechanism than other classes of antibiotics, it can be used to treat some drug-resistant pathogens.
