Why do you take Cipro for 5 days and stop for 2 days?

The generic name of Ciprofloxacin is Flunarizine Hydrochloride Capsules, which is taken for 5 days and stopped for 2 days and then taken again mainly to minimize the adverse effects brought about by long-term use of the drug. Flunarizine Hydrochloride Capsules can be used for the prophylactic treatment of typical (with aura) or atypical (without aura) migraine, and is also suitable for the symptomatic treatment of vertigo caused by vestibular dysfunction. There may be drowsiness and fatigue after taking the drug, and it should not be used for a long period of time. It should be contraindicated in patients with a history of depression, Parkinson’s disease or other extrapyramidal disease symptoms. Prolonged use may lead to depression, involuntary movements, jaw movement disorders, and ankylosis. When used for the prophylactic treatment of migraine, if the efficacy is satisfactory and the patient needs to maintain the treatment, it should be reduced to 5 consecutive days of administration every 7 days and 2 days of cessation under the direction of the doctor, but it should not be used for more than 6 months. If there is any discomfort during the use of the drug, consult a doctor promptly.
