Hi, thanks for using healthcare magic
It depends on the severity of the infection and the type of ciprofloxacin being used.
There is immediate release ciprofloxacin (released immediately into the blood stream) and extended release (released slowly over a 24 hour period).
The immediate release is the most common one used.
(1) in an uncomplicated urinary tract infection---250 mg twice daily of the ciprofloxacin for 3 days or extended release 500mg for 3 days
Uncomplicated infection means-- person has good immune system, no abnormal structure of the urinary tract, not pregnant, pre menopausal
(2)Mild / moderate infections- 250 mg twice daily for 7 to 14 days
(3)severe/complicated- 500mg twice daily for 7 to 14 days
For you, the dose would be 500mg twice daily for at least 7 days
