Pharmacological action
Broad-spectrum antimicrobial agent from the group of fluoroquinolones.
It is bactericidal. The drug inhibits the bacterial DNA gyrase enzyme, as a result of which the replication and synthesis of bacterial cellular proteins is impaired.
Ciprofloxacin acts on gram-negative microorganisms during dormancy and division (since it affects not only DNA gyrase, but also causes cell wall lysis), and gram-positive microorganisms only during division. Low toxicity to macroorganism cells is explained by the lack of DNA gyrase in them. While taking ciprofloxacin, there is no parallel development of resistance to other antibacterial drugs that do not belong to the group of gyrase inhibitors, which makes it highly effective against bacteria that are resistant, for example, to aminoglycosides, penicillins, cephalosporins, tetracyclines and many other antibacterial drugs.
Ciprofloxacin resistance develops slowly and gradually. When using ciprofloxacin, there were no cases of plasmid resistance, which often develops with the use of beta-lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides and tetracyclines. Bacteria containing the plasmid are also highly sensitive to ciprofloxacin.
The use of ciprofloxacin does not produce parallel resistance of pathogens to antibiotics of other groups: β-lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides, tetracyclines, macrolides, sulfonamides, derivatives of trimethoprim or nitrofuran. Therefore, ciprofloxacin is highly effective against bacteria resistant to antibiotics of these groups.
Ciprofloxacin remains effective against pathogens resistant to other gyrase inhibitors.
Due to its chemical structure, ciprofloxacin is highly effective against strains producing -lactamases.

Use during pregnancy and lactation
The use of the drug during pregnancy and during breastfeeding is contraindicated.
Special instructions
It was found that ciprofloxacin, like other drugs of this class, causes arthropathy of large joints in animals. When analyzing the current safety data on the use of ciprofloxacin in children under 18 years of age, most of which have cystic fibrosis, there is no connection between damage to cartilage or joints with taking the drug. Ciprofloxacin in children is not recommended for the treatment of other diseases, except for the treatment of complications of cystic fibrosis. lungs (in children from 5 to 17 years old) associated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa and for the treatment and prevention of pulmonary anthrax (after suspected or proven infection Bacillus anthracis).
In outpatient treatment of patients with pneumonia caused by bacteria of the genus Pneumococcus, ciprofloxacin should not be used as the drug of first choice.
In some cases, adverse reactions from the central nervous system may occur after the first use of the drug. In very rare cases, psychosis can occur with suicidal attempts. In these cases, ciprofloxacin should be discontinued immediately.
In patients with a history of seizures, a history of seizures, vascular diseases, and organic brain damage due to the risk of adverse reactions from the central nervous system, ciprofloxacin should be prescribed only for "vital indications", in cases where the expected clinical effect exceeds the possible risk of side effects action of the drug.
If severe or prolonged diarrhea occurs during or after treatment with ciprofloxacin, the diagnosis of pseudomembranous colitis should be excluded, which requires immediate withdrawal of the drug and the appointment of appropriate treatment.
The use of drugs that suppress intestinal motility is contraindicated. Patients, especially those who have had liver disease, may have cholestatic jaundice, as well as a temporary increase in the activity of “liver” transaminases and alkaline phosphatase.
Compliance with the appropriate dosage regimen is required when prescribing the drug to patients with renal and hepatic insufficiency.
Sometimes, even after taking the first dose of ciprofloxacin, allergic reactions can occur, rarely anaphylactic shock. Reception of ciprofloxacin in these cases should be stopped immediately and appropriate treatment should be carried out.
Elderly patients previously treated with glucocorticosteroids may experience cases of rupture of the Achilles tendon.
If you experience pain in the tendons or when the first signs of tendonitis appear, treatment should be discontinued due to the fact that isolated cases of inflammation and even rupture of tendons during treatment with fluoroquinolones have been described.
During treatment with ciprofloxacin, contact with direct sunlight should be avoided, since photosensitization reactions may occur with ciprofloxacin. Treatment should be discontinued if symptoms of photosensitivity are observed (for example, a change in the skin that resembles sunburn).
Ciprofloxacin is known to be a moderate inhibitor of the CYP1A2 isoenzyme.
Caution should be exercised while using ciprofloxacin and drugs metabolized by this isoenzyme, such as theophylline, methylxanthine, caffeine, as an increase in the concentration of these drugs in the blood serum can cause corresponding side effects.
In order to avoid the development of crystalluria, it is unacceptable to exceed the recommended daily dose, it is also necessary to have sufficient fluid intake (subject to normal diuresis) and to maintain an acidic urine reaction.
For genital infections presumably caused by fluoroquinolone resistant Neisseria gonorrhoeae strains, local information on ciprofloxacin resistance should be considered and pathogen susceptibility should be confirmed in laboratory teCmax.
Impact on the ability to drive vehicles and mechanisms:
Caution is advised to patients taking ciprofloxacin when driving and engaging in other potentially dangerous activities, requiring increased attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.
Composition

In addition, the following adverse events were noted: cerebral artery thrombosis, polyuria, albuminuria, urinary retention. The relationship of these adverse events with the use of ciprofloxacin has not been reliably confirmed.
Drug interaction
With the simultaneous use of didanosine with ciprofloxacin, the effect of ciprofloxacin is reduced due to the formation of complexes of ciprofloxacin with aluminum and magnesium salts contained in didanosine.
Concomitant use of ciprofloxacin with theophylline can lead to an increase in theophylline concentration in blood plasma due to competitive inhibition in the binding sites of cytochrome P450, which leads to an increase in the half-life of theophylline and an increased risk of toxic effects associated with theophylline.
The concomitant use of sucralfate, antacids, drugs with a large buffer capacity (for example, antiretroviral drugs), as well as drugs containing aluminum, zinc, iron or magnesium ions, can cause a decrease in the absorption of ciprofloxacin, so ciprofloxacin should be taken either in 1-2 hours before or 4 hours after taking these drugs.
This restriction does not apply to antacids belonging to the class of H2 receptor blockers.
The simultaneous use of ciprofloxacin, dairy products or mineral-fortified drinks (such as milk, yogurt, calcium-fortified orange juice) should be avoided, as this may reduce the absorption of ciprofloxacin. However calcium part of other foods does not significantly affect the absorption of ciprofloxacin.
With the combined use of ciprofloxacin and omeprazole, there may be a slight decrease in the maximum concentration (Cmax) of the drug in blood plasma and a decrease in the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC).
A combination of very high doses of quinolones (gyrase inhibitors) and some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (excluding acetylsalicylic acid) can cause seizures.
With the simultaneous use of ciprofloxacin and anticoagulants (including warfarin), bleeding time lengthens.
With the simultaneous use of ciprofloxacin and cyclosporine, the nephrotoxic effect of the latter is enhanced. With simultaneous therapy with ciprofloxacin and cyclosporine, a short-term increase in plasma creatinine concentration was observed. In such cases, it is necessary to determine the concentration of creatinine in the blood twice a week.
In some cases, the simultaneous use of ciprofloxacin and glibenclamide may enhance the effect of glibenclamide (hypoglycemia).
Co-administration of uricosuric drugs, including probenecid, slows down the rate of ciprofloxacin elimination by the kidneys (up to 59%) and increases the concentration of ciprofloxacin in the blood plasma.
With the simultaneous administration of ciprofloxacin, tubular transport (renal metabolism) of methotrexate may be slowed, which may be accompanied by an increase in the concentration of methotrexate in blood plasma. In this case, the likelihood of side effects of methotrexate may increase. In this regard, patients receiving combination therapy with methotrexate and ciprofloxacin should be closely monitored.
Metoclopramide accelerates the absorption of ciprofloxacin, shortening the period of time required to reach its maximum concentration in blood plasma. In this case, the bioavailability of ciprofloxacin does not change.
As a result of a clinical study involving healthy volunteers with the simultaneous use of ciprofloxacin and tizanidine, an increase in the concentration of tizanidine in blood plasma was revealed: an increase in Cmax by 7 times (from 4 to 21 times), an increase in AUC by 10 times (from 6 to 24 times). With an increase in the concentration of tizanidine in serum, hypotensive and sedative side effects are associated. Thus, the simultaneous use of ciprofloxacin and tizanidine is contraindicated.
Ciprofloxacin may be used in combination with other antibiotics. As shown in in vitro studies, the combined use of ciprofloxacin and -Lactam antibiotics, as well as aminoglycosides, was accompanied mainly by an additive and indifferent effect, relatively rarely, an increase in the action of both drugs was observed, and very rarely, a decrease.
Overdose
In the event of an overdose with oral administration, reversible toxic effects on the renal parenchyma were noted in several cases. Therefore, in the case of overdose, in addition to carrying out standard activities (gastric lavage, use of vomiting, the introduction of a large amount of fluid, creating an acidic urine reaction), it is also recommended to monitor the function of the kidneys and take magnesium and calcium-containing antacids that reduce the absorption of ciprofloxacin.
No specific antidote known. It is necessary to carefully monitor the patient's condition, to do gastric lavage, to carry out usual emergency measures, to ensure sufficient fluid intake. With hemo- and peritoneal dialysis, only a small amount (less than 10%) of the drug can be removed.

In addition, the following adverse events were noted: cerebral artery thrombosis, polyuria, albuminuria, urinary retention. The relationship of these adverse events with the use of ciprofloxacin has not been reliably confirmed.
Drug interaction
With the simultaneous use of didanosine with ciprofloxacin, the effect of ciprofloxacin is reduced due to the formation of complexes of ciprofloxacin with aluminum and magnesium salts contained in didanosine.
Concomitant use of ciprofloxacin with theophylline can lead to an increase in theophylline concentration in blood plasma due to competitive inhibition in the binding sites of cytochrome P450, which leads to an increase in the half-life of theophylline and an increased risk of toxic effects associated with theophylline.
The concomitant use of sucralfate, antacids, drugs with a large buffer capacity (for example, antiretroviral drugs), as well as drugs containing aluminum, zinc, iron or magnesium ions, can cause a decrease in the absorption of ciprofloxacin, so ciprofloxacin should be taken either in 1-2 hours before or 4 hours after taking these drugs.
This restriction does not apply to antacids belonging to the class of H2 receptor blockers.
The simultaneous use of ciprofloxacin, dairy products or mineral-fortified drinks (such as milk, yogurt, calcium-fortified orange juice) should be avoided, as this may reduce the absorption of ciprofloxacin. However calcium part of other foods does not significantly affect the absorption of ciprofloxacin.
With the combined use of ciprofloxacin and omeprazole, there may be a slight decrease in the maximum concentration (Cmax) of the drug in blood plasma and a decrease in the area under the concentration-time curve (AUC).
A combination of very high doses of quinolones (gyrase inhibitors) and some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (excluding acetylsalicylic acid) can cause seizures.
With the simultaneous use of ciprofloxacin and anticoagulants (including warfarin), bleeding time lengthens.
With the simultaneous use of ciprofloxacin and cyclosporine, the nephrotoxic effect of the latter is enhanced. With simultaneous therapy with ciprofloxacin and cyclosporine, a short-term increase in plasma creatinine concentration was observed. In such cases, it is necessary to determine the concentration of creatinine in the blood twice a week.
In some cases, the simultaneous use of ciprofloxacin and glibenclamide may enhance the effect of glibenclamide (hypoglycemia).
Co-administration of uricosuric drugs, including probenecid, slows down the rate of ciprofloxacin elimination by the kidneys (up to 59%) and increases the concentration of ciprofloxacin in the blood plasma.
With the simultaneous administration of ciprofloxacin, tubular transport (renal metabolism) of methotrexate may be slowed, which may be accompanied by an increase in the concentration of methotrexate in blood plasma. In this case, the likelihood of side effects of methotrexate may increase. In this regard, patients receiving combination therapy with methotrexate and ciprofloxacin should be closely monitored.
Metoclopramide accelerates the absorption of ciprofloxacin, shortening the period of time required to reach its maximum concentration in blood plasma. In this case, the bioavailability of ciprofloxacin does not change.
As a result of a clinical study involving healthy volunteers with the simultaneous use of ciprofloxacin and tizanidine, an increase in the concentration of tizanidine in blood plasma was revealed: an increase in Cmax by 7 times (from 4 to 21 times), an increase in AUC by 10 times (from 6 to 24 times). With an increase in the concentration of tizanidine in serum, hypotensive and sedative side effects are associated. Thus, the simultaneous use of ciprofloxacin and tizanidine is contraindicated.
Ciprofloxacin may be used in combination with other antibiotics. As shown in in vitro studies, the combined use of ciprofloxacin and -Lactam antibiotics, as well as aminoglycosides, was accompanied mainly by an additive and indifferent effect, relatively rarely, an increase in the action of both drugs was observed, and very rarely, a decrease.
Overdose
In the event of an overdose with oral administration, reversible toxic effects on the renal parenchyma were noted in several cases. Therefore, in the case of overdose, in addition to carrying out standard activities (gastric lavage, use of vomiting, the introduction of a large amount of fluid, creating an acidic urine reaction), it is also recommended to monitor the function of the kidneys and take magnesium and calcium-containing antacids that reduce the absorption of ciprofloxacin.
No specific antidote known. It is necessary to carefully monitor the patient's condition, to do gastric lavage, to carry out usual emergency measures, to ensure sufficient fluid intake. With hemo- and peritoneal dialysis, only a small amount (less than 10%) of the drug can be removed.
