Cipro works by inhibiting specific enzymes (proteins) that bacteria need to grow and repair their DNA, which is essential for their survival. By stopping this process, Cipro effectively kills the bacteria causing the infection. This targeted action makes it highly effective for bacterial (not viral) infections. If you have a Cipro prescription, be sure to follow your healthcare provider’s instructions closely.
