Ciprofloxacin is used to treat a variety of infections, including
skin infections,
urinary tract infections,
respiratory infections, and wound infections caused by susceptible bacteria. There is an ear formulation used to treat ear infections and an eye formulation for ocular infections. While ciprofloxacin is highly effective, some bacteria are

A number of drugs can produce a characteristic drug intoxication syndrome with disorientation, memory and cognitive deficits, gaze-evoked nystagmus, and gait and extremity ataxia. Cipro is one of them. This can be confused with more serious disorders.
