Studies have not demonstrated any pediatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of ciprofloxacin in children. This drug should be used with caution due to its toxicity and should be used only after other medicines have been considered and found ineffective. This drug can be used in children to prevent anthrax infection after possible exposure, and to treat serious kidney infections.

Studies regarding the relationship of age to the effects of ciprofloxacin extended-release tablets in the pediatric population have not been performed while safety and efficacy have not been established. Studies in the elderly have not demonstrated geriatric-specific problems that would limit the usefulness of this drug. Elderly patients should consult with their healthcare professionals before taking this drug as they are more likely to have age-related kidney or heart problems, or develop severe tendon problems.
