Hypersensitivity to Ciprofloxacin or any other component of the medication. Additionally, history of hypersensitivity to other quinolones may also contraindicate the use of ciprofloxacin.
Prolonged use of Ciprofloxacin may result in overgrowth of non-susceptible organisms, including fungi. If superinfection occurs, appropriate therapy should be initiated. Ciprofloxacin should be discontinued at the first appearance of a skin rash or any other sign of hypersensitivity reaction.
