View company portfolio →What Monarc (Ciprofloxacin) is used for
Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic from the fluoroquinolone (quinolone) group. It kills the bacteria that cause an infection and works against many kinds of bacteria (broad-spectrum). It is a prescription medicine, and because it can cause rare but serious and sometimes long-lasting side effects, doctors keep the tablets and liquid for times when other antibiotics are not suitable.
- Urine infections (UTIs), when other antibiotics are not suitable
- Chest infections, including pneumonia
- Skin, bone and joint infections
- Some ear, sinus and gut infections
- Some sexually transmitted infections
- Eye infections and conjunctivitis (as eye drops) and ear infections (as ear drops)
Get medical help straight away if
- Call an ambulance or go to the emergency department for sudden, severe pain in the stomach, chest or back. This can be a sign of a tear in the main blood vessel (aorta).
- Get emergency help for fits (seizures), or for any thoughts of harming yourself or ending your life.
- Get emergency help for signs of a severe allergic reaction: swelling of the lips, mouth, tongue or throat, wheezing or struggling to breathe, tight throat, blue or pale lips, sudden confusion or fainting.
- Stop taking it and contact a doctor straight away for pain, swelling or weakness in a tendon or joint, often in the ankle or calf. This can happen soon after starting or even months after stopping.

- Brucellosis: an alternative partner for rifampicin in adults
- Conjunctivitis (pink eye): For bacterial pink eye when your doctor thinks treatment is needed. Chloramphenicol drops are a common first choice in UK guidance.
