    Answers to questions about Biological and Chemical terrorism and warfare.

    4. Can I get a prescription for Cipro to "have on hand"? - Top

    No.

    All available Cipro should be saved for people with Anthrax exposure, or other infections that require its use.

    Careless use of Cipro will help give rise to resistent bacteria that may be harder or impossible to treat.

    If you become exposed to Anthrax, Cipro will be provided to you (probably for free) by the government. - Updated: October 22, 2001
