Hi,

Cifran contains ciprofloxacin which belongs to the group of antibiotic medications known as quinolones is used in the treatment of various types of bacterial infections like urinary tract infections, skin and soft tissue infections like anthrax, eye infections, ear infections, respiratory tract infections, sexually transmitted diseases and many more. If you drink alcohol while taking antibiotics like Cifran, then some side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, nausea, vomiting, stomach upset or light headedness may become worse. Again, alcohol consumption while taking Cifran, can increase the risk of causing liver problems. So, it will be wise for anyone to avoid alcohol consumption while taking Cifran. You should wait at least 72 hours after the last dose of Cifran before consuming alcohol for preventing any unwanted side effects.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
