Overview

Ciprobay 500mg Tablet is a prescription-only medicine (POM) that contains Ciprofloxacin 500mg (as ciprofloxacin hydrochloride). It is supplied as a tablet and is dispensed in Malaysia only against a valid prescription issued by a registered doctor.

Under Malaysian rules for prescription medicines, this page carries product, safety and handling information only. Your doctor or pharmacist will explain whether this medicine is suitable for you, the dose you should take, and how long you should take it.

On DoctorOnCall, Ciprobay 500mg Tablet is reviewed by a licensed doctor through an online consultation and dispensed by a registered pharmacist before delivery. Always follow the instructions on your prescription label and the package insert supplied with the product, and do not share this medicine with anyone else.

Directions for Use

Take Ciprobay 500mg Tablet with a full glass of water, ideally at least 2 hours before or 6 hours after dairy products, calcium-fortified juices, or antacids, as these can reduce how well the medicine is absorbed. Stay well hydrated throughout treatment and avoid prolonged or excessive sun exposure, as ciprofloxacin can make skin more sensitive to sunlight.

Dosage

The usual adult dose of Ciprobay 500mg Tablet is 250mg to 750mg taken twice daily, with the exact dose and duration depending on the type and severity of the infection being treated. Your doctor will determine the correct dose for your condition, and it is important to complete the full course even if you feel better before it is finished.

Storage Instructions

Store below 30°C in a dry place, away from direct sunlight and out of reach of children.

Drug / Food Interactions

  • Dairy products, calcium-fortified juices, and mineral supplements (calcium, magnesium, iron, zinc) reduce absorption if taken too close together
