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. Instructions for taking ciprofloxacin The dose of ciprofloxacin is a single dose of 500 mg, taken in tablet form. The tablet should be swallowed whole with a full glass of water. Do not take the tablet 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. You should not take ciprofloxacin if you: have had a previous allergic reaction to ciprofloxacin; are pregnant or are breast-feeding; are a child under 12 years of age. If ciprofloxacin is unsuitable, you will need to take a different antibiotic to get rid of the meningococcal germs. 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.
