 The major [[adverse effect]] seen with use of  is [[gastrointestinal irritation]], common with many [[antibiotics]]. Because of its general safety, potency and [[broad spectrum]] activity, ciprofloxacin was initially reserved as a 'last-resort' drug for use on difficult and [[drug-resistant infections]]. As with any [[antibiotic]], however, increasing time and usage has led to an increase in ciprofloxacin-resistant infections, mainly in the [[hospital]] setting. Also implicated in the rise of [[resistant bacteria]] is the use of lower-cost, less potent [[fluoroquinolones]], and the widespread addition of ciprofloxacin and other antibiotics to the feed of [[farm animals]], which leads to greater and more rapid weight gain, for reasons which are not clear.
 "''Cipro''" became a household word during the [[anthrax]] mail attacks after the destruction of the [[World Trade Center]]. Unfortunately, [[Bayer]] not only took a severe financial blow from the costs involved in rapidly increasing production of the drug to be sold to the government at far below market price, but ironically was then portrayed in the press as 'War Profiteers', rather than contributors to the safety of the public in the "[[War on Terror]]".
