For uncomplicated urinary tract infections in women, the usual recommended adult dose of ciprofloxacin extended-release (XL) is 500 mg once a day for 3 days.

For complicated urinary tract infections and uncomplicated kidney infections, the usual recommended adult dose is 1,000 mg once a day for 7 to 14 days. For people with severely reduced kidney function, the recommended dose is 500 mg once a day for 7 to 14 days.

Ciprofloxacin extended-release should be swallowed whole. Do not split, chew, or crush the tablet. It should be taken at approximately the same time each day, with or without food. Although the medication can be taken with meals that include milk, it is best to avoid taking it with dairy products alone (e.g., yogurt) or with calcium-fortified products. (See "What other medications could interact with Cipro Xl?" below.)

Drink adequate amounts of liquids (water, juices) while you are using Cipro Xl.

Many things can affect the dose of medication that a person needs, such as body weight, other medical conditions, and other medications. If your doctor has recommended a dose different from the ones listed here, do not change the way that you are taking the medication without consulting your doctor.

Finish all of Cipro Xl, even if you begin to feel better. It is important to take Cipro Xl exactly as prescribed by your doctor. If you miss a dose, take it as soon as possible and continue on with your regular schedule. Do not take more than one dose of ciprofloxacin extended-release per day. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one. If you are not sure what to do after missing a dose, contact your doctor or pharmacist for advice.

Store Cipro Xl at room temperature and keep it out of the reach of children.

Do not dispose of medications in wastewater (e.g. down the sink or in the toilet) or in household garbage. Ask your pharmacist how to dispose of medications that are no longer needed or have expired.
