(ciprofloxacin hydrochloride) This is a summary of the Public Assessment Report (PAR) for Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets (PL 36390/0142 - 0145). It explains how Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets were assessed and their authorisation recommended, as well as their conditions of use. It is not intended to provide practical advice on how to use these products. For practical information about using Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets, patients should read the patient information leaflet (PIL) or contact their doctor or pharmacist. What are Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets and what are they used for? Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets contain the active substance ciprofloxacin hydrochloride. These tablets are used in adults to treat the following bacterial infections: • respiratory tract infections • long-lasting or recurring ear or sinus infections • urinary tract infections • infections of the testicles • genital organ infections in women • gastro-intestinal tract infections and intra-abdominal infections • skin and soft tissue infections • bone and joint infections • to treat infections in patients with a very low white blood cell count • to prevent infections in patients with a very low white blood cell count • to prevent infections due to the bacterium Neisseria meningitidis • anthrax inhalation exposure The tablets are used in children and adolescents, under specialist medical supervision, to treat the following bacterial infections: • lung and bronchial infections in children and adolescents suffering from cystic fibrosis (a hereditary disease affecting multiple organs of the body mainly the lung) • complicated urinary tract infections, including infections that have reached the kidneys • anthrax inhalation exposure Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets are identical to Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets which were originally authorised to Neolab Limited (PL 08137/0049 - 0052) on 15 May 2002.

change of ownership, the current marketing authorisation holder is Aptil Pharma Limited (PL 40378/0161 - 0164). How are Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets used? Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets can only be obtained with a prescription (legal status POM). The prescribing doctor will explain how many tablets of a particular strength will need to be taken, as well as how often and for how long. This will depend on the type of infection and how bad it is. The treatment usually lasts from 5 to 21 days, but may take longer for severe infections. These tablets should be swallowed whole, with plenty of fluid, and not chewed. How do Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets work? The active substance, ciprofloxacin, kills bacteria that cause infections. Ciprofloxacin is an antibiotic which belongs to the fluoroquinolone family, and it works by inhibiting bacterial enzymes responsible for DNA synthesis, but this inhibition is only effective on specific strains of bacteria.
How have Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets been studied? Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets (PL 36390/0142 - 0145; Cipla (EU) Limited) are identical to Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets (PL 40378/0161 - 0164; Aptil Pharma Limited) . Aptil Pharma Limited, has agreed that scientific data presented for Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets (PL 40378/0161 - 0164) can be used for these applications for Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets (PL 36390/0142 - 0145). What are the benefits and risks of Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets? Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets (PL 36390/0142 - 0145; Cipla (EU) Limited) are considered identical to Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets (PL 40378/0161-0164; Aptil Pharma Limited) and, therefore, their benefits and risks are taken as being the same. Why are Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets approved? No new or unexpected safety concerns arose from this application. It was, therefore, considered that the benefits of Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets outweigh their risks, and the grant of these marketing authorisations was recommended. What measures are being taken to ensure the safe and effective use of Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets? A risk management plan has been developed to ensure that Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets are used as safely as possible. Based on this plan, safety information has been included in the summary of product characteristics and the patient information leaflet for Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets, including the appropriate precautions to be followed by healthcare professionals and patients.

INTRODUCTION Based on the review of the data on quality, safety and efficacy, the UK granted marketing authorisations to Cipla (EU) Limited for the medicinal products Ciprofloxacin 100, 250, 500 and 750 mg Film-Coated Tablets (PL 36390/0142 - 0145) on 15 August 2014. These are prescription-only medicines (legal status POM). In adults these tablets are used to treat the following bacterial infections:
• respiratory tract infections due to Gram-negative bacteria - exacerbations of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease - broncho-pulmonary infections in cystic fibrosis or in
bronchiectasis - pneumonia
• Chronic suppurative otitis media • Acute exacerbation of chronic sinusitis especially if these are
caused by Gram-negative bacteria • Urinary tract infections • Gonococcal uretritis and cervicitis • Epididymo-orchitis including cases due to Neisseria gonorrhoea • Pelvic inflammatory disease including cases due to Neisseria
gonorrhoea • In the above genital tract infections when thought or known to be
due to Neisseria gonorrhoea it is particularly important to obtain local information on the prevalence of resistance to ciprofloxacin and to confirm susceptibility based on laboratory testing.
• Infections of the gastro-intestinal tract (e.g. travellers’ diarrhoea) • Intra-abdominal infections • Infections of the skin and soft tissue caused by Gram-negative
bacteria • Malignant external otitis • Infections of the bones and joints • Treatment of infections in neutropenic patients • Prophylaxis of infections in neutropenic patients • Prophylaxis of invasive infections due to Neisseria meningitidis • Inhalation anthrax (post-exposure prophylaxis and curative
treatment)
In children and adolescents these tablets are used to treat the following bacterial infections:
• Broncho-pulmonary infections in cystic fibrosis caused by Pseudomonas aeruginosa
• Complicated urinary tract infections and pyelonephritis • Inhalation anthrax (post-exposure prophylaxis and curative
treatment) • Ciprofloxacin may also be used to treat severe infections in
children and adolescents when this is considered to be necessary.
