About Nircip

Nircip belongs to the class of antibiotic medication known as fluoroquinolones used to treat bacterial infections such as respiratory tract infections, ear, sinus infections, urinary tract infections, genital tract infections, gastrointestinal tract infections, intra-abdominal infections, skin & soft tissue infections, and bone & joint infections. Nircip is also used to treat inhalational anthrax post-exposure and as empirical therapy for febrile neutropenic patients.

Nircip is antibacterial in nature and kills the bacteria that trigger various infections. Nircip contains Ciprofloxacin which inhibits the division and repair of bacterial cells, thereby killing the bacteria. As a result, it treats a wide range of bacterial infections. 

Nircip will be administered by a healthcare professional; do not self-administer. Nircip may cause side effects such as injection site reactions, nausea, headache, diarrhoea, vomiting, restlessness, and rash. The majority of these side effects subside over time without the need for medical intervention. However, contact your doctor if the side effects continue to bother you.

Do not take Nircip if you are allergic to ciprofloxacin, other quinolone antibiotics, or any of the components in this medication. Inform your doctor if you have QT prolongation, CNS disorders, or hypokalaemia. Concomitant use of tizanidine is not recommended. Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, trying to get pregnant, or nursing a baby. Avoid activities that require concentration or coordination, such as operating machinery or driving, as Nircip may make you restless and lightheaded.

Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, planning to get pregnant or breastfeeding. Nircip may cause tendon problems, peripheral neuropathy, CNS problems, and myasthenia gravis (muscle problems); consult your doctor immediately if you experience symptoms of these conditions. Children below 18 years of age have a higher chance of getting bone, tendon (musculoskeletal), or joint problems such as pain or swelling while taking Nircip ; therefore, it should not be used as the first choice of treatment in children.

Diet & Lifestyle Advise

  • Avoid consuming excessive amounts of caffeine-containing foods and beverages such as coffee, tea, cola, energy drinks, and chocolate.
  • Probiotics should be taken after finishing the entire course of Nircip in order to replenish good bacteria that may have been lost in the intestines. The risk of antibiotic-associated diarrhoea can be decreased by taking probiotics after receiving antibiotic treatment. Some fermented foods, including yoghurt, cheese, sauerkraut, and kimchi, can help rebuild the beneficial bacteria in the intestine. 
  • Increase your intake of fibre-rich foods since they are simpler for gut bacteria to digest, which encourages their growth.
  • While taking Nircip , make sure to drink lots of water or other fluids every day.
  • Avoid drinking alcohol since it may cause dehydration and interfere with your sleep, which makes it difficult for your body to help Nircip fight infections.

Special Advise

  • Liver function should be checked regularly and treatment with Nircip should be stopped immediately if signs and symptoms of hepatitis appear.

Disease/Condition Glossary

Bacterial infection: A bacterial infection is a condition in which harmful bacteria enter, multiply, and infect the body. It can target any body part and multiply very quickly. When you get infected with bacteria, you can experience generalized symptoms, like fever, chills, and fatigue. Anyone can become infected with a bacterial infection.
