The purpose of this antibiotic is to clear any meningococcal germs being 'carried' in the throat of contacts, so that they cannot lead to infections in other people. This clearance antibiotic cannot treat someone who is already developing the infection, so you still need to look out for symptoms and signs of meningococcal disease. Indications Ciprofloxacin is the preferred antibiotic for the treatment of close contacts 12 years of age or older. It can be used for children under 12 years of age if rifampicin is not readily available or if non-compliance with rifampicin treatment is an important issue. Alternative antibiotics to ciprofloxacin are rifampicin or ceftriaxone. Contraindications You should not take ciprofloxacin if you: have had a previous allergic reaction to ciprofloxacin (or another quinolone antibiotic); are pregnant or are breast-feeding. Ceftriaxone is the preferred antibiotic for pregnant or breast-feeding women. Instructions for taking ciprofloxacin Ciprofloxacin is taken as a single dose by mouth. It is available as a tablet or as a suspension (syrup). Ciprofloxacin should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water. Do not take with milk or other dairy products alone. Do not take ciprofloxacin if you have taken antacid/indigestion medicines or medicines containing iron or mineral supplements within the previous 4 hours. Wait until 4 hours have passed before taking Ciprofloxacin. Side effects of ciprofloxacin You may feel tired or develop a stomach ache, but these effects usually settle quickly and are not cause for concern. A very uncommon side effect is a severe allergic reaction with facial swelling. This might happen soon after taking the tablet; if it happens, you should seek medical attention immediately (see the doctor if you are at a hospital, or ring 000). Interactions with other medicines If you are taking any other medications you should check with your doctor before taking ciprofloxacin. It is quite safe to take ciprofloxacin if you are taking the oral contraceptive pill.
