Once Daily, Extended Release Ciprofloxacin for Complicated Urinary Tract Infections and Acute Uncomplicated Pyelonephritis

Abstract

Extended release ciprofloxacin at a dose of 1,000 mg once daily was as safe and effective as conventional treatment with 500 mg ciprofloxacin twice daily, each given orally for 7 to 14 days in adults with cUTI or AUP. It provides a convenient, once daily, empirical treatment option.
