If you stop using Ciprofloxacin Accord<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It is important that you complete the treatment<\/strong> even if you start to feel better after a few days. If you stop taking the medicine too soon, your infection may be inadequately treated and the symptoms of infection may return or get worse. You may also develop resistance to the antibiotic.
