ciprofloxacin has been researched along with Varicose Ulcer in 3 studies

Ciprofloxacin: A broad-spectrum antimicrobial carboxyfluoroquinoline.
ciprofloxacin : A quinolone that is quinolin-4(1H)-one bearing cyclopropyl, carboxylic acid, fluoro and piperazin-1-yl substituents at positions 1, 3, 6 and 7, respectively.

Varicose Ulcer: Skin breakdown or ulceration in the drainage area of a VARICOSE VEIN, usually in the leg.

Research Excerpts

ExcerptRelevanceReference
"Healing of poorly vascularized and venous stasis ulcers is often refractory to therapy, particularly when they are infected."1.31A novel sustained-release matrix based on biodegradable poly(ester amide)s and impregnated with bacteriophages and an antibiotic shows promise in management of infected venous stasis ulcers and other poorly healing wounds.
