Treatment for inhalational anthrax typically involves intravenous Ciprofloxacin at a dosage of 400 mg every 12 hours. For cutaneous anthrax, the oral route may be suitable, usually 500 mg twice daily. Duration of treatment depends on the severity and type of anthrax, often lasting several weeks.
Always follow your doctor’s specific instructions. They will tailor the dosage and duration based on your individual needs and the progression of the disease. Early treatment is critical.
Other antibiotics, such as doxycycline, may be used as alternatives or in combination with Ciprofloxacin, depending on circumstances and antibiotic susceptibility.
