Ciloxan (generic name ciprofloxacin) is an antibacterial fluoroquinolone antibiotic used to treat infections caused by susceptible gram-negative bacteria. It works by interfering with bacterial DNA replication to prevent cell reproduction. Common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, and skin rash. It can also potentially cause central nervous system effects, gastrointestinal impairment, and hypersensitivity reactions. Nursing interventions include ensuring the patient takes the full course of therapy, is well hydrated, and takes antacids separately from ciprofloxacin doses to reduce drug interactions and adverse reactions.
