Uses and Applications
Ciprofloxacin only treats bacterial infections; it does not treat viral infections such as the common cold. For certain uses including acute sinusitis, lower respiratory tract infections and uncomplicated gonorrhea, ciprofloxacin is not considered a first-line agent.
This antibiotic treats only bacterial infections. It will not work for virus infections (such as common cold, flu). Using any antibiotic when it is not needed can cause it to not work for future infections.
Mycoplasma contamination is a major problem in cell culture in biomedical and biopharmaceutical research, with rates near 15-30%. While there is no method for visual confirmation of mycoplasma, contamination has serious effects on key characteristics and functions of cells, thus compromising any research done. Cipro (ciprofloxacin hydrochloride) is the standard antibiotic for rapid and efficient decontamination.

Market Outlook
The India ciprofloxacin market is segmented based on composition, source, and form, route of administration, distribution channel, application, end user, company and region. Based on route of administration, the market can be categorized into oral, ophthalmic, optic, and intravenous and others. The intravenous segment is expected to witness significant growth through FY2026. This can be ascribed to the use of this route of administration for the drugs which are not absorbed after consumption through oral route. Additionally, large quantities of drug can be administered using this route of drug administration with 100% bioavailability.
The Global Ciprofloxacin Market is growing at a faster pace with substantial growth rates over the last few years and is estimated that the market will grow significantly in the forecasted period i.e. 2020 to 2027.

Indian pharmaceutical sector is expected to grow to US$ 100 billion, while medical device market is expected to grow US$ 25 billion by 2025. Pharmaceuticals export from India stood at US$ 20.70 billion in FY20. Pharmaceutical export include bulk drugs, intermediates, drug formulations, biological, Ayush and herbal products and surgical.
The remaining of the active pharmaceutical ingredient of ciprofloxacin is being dispersed in another combination product and specifically utilize in the urinary tract antibiotic only. Thereby anticipated to lure the new market players in the ciprofloxacin market. The higher incidence of skin and immunological disorder is anticipated to offer a steady revenue generation opportunity in the ciprofloxacin market. Increase awareness about safe drug utilization, however increase in adverse drug reaction awareness and stringent government impositions have narrowed the growth path for global Ciprofloxacin market in North America. Furthermore in East Asia region considerably higher market growth rate is expected due to higher utilization of ciprofloxacin in renal infection in the region. Thereby anticipated to increase the revenue generation in the Ciprofloxacin market.
