Pharmacology

Ciprofloxacin is a synthetic quinolone antibiotic that exhibits a broad spectrum of activity against various types of bacteria. It is effective against many gram-negative aerobic bacteria, including Enterobacteriaceae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Additionally, it is active against certain gram-positive aerobic bacteria, including strains that produce penicillinase and methicillin-resistant staphylococci.

The bactericidal action of ciprofloxacin is attributed to its interference with the enzyme DNA gyrase, which is essential for bacterial DNA synthesis. By inhibiting this enzyme, ciprofloxacin prevents the replication of bacterial DNA, ultimately leading to bacterial cell death.

Contraindications

Hypersensitivity to Ciprofloxacin or other quinolones

Pregnancy & Lactation

Reproduction studies conducted in mice, rats, and rabbits using both parenteral (injected) and oral (taken by mouth) administration did not show any signs of teratogenicity (ability to cause birth defects), impairment of fertility, or effects on peri/postnatal (around the time of birth) development. However, like other antibiotics in the quinolone class, ciprofloxacin has been found to cause arthropathy (joint abnormalities) in immature animals. Therefore, its use during pregnancy is not recommended.

• Avoid concurrent use with certain antacids or dairy products
• Use with caution in the pediatric population
• Monitor for overdose effects including seizures, renal and hepatic impairment
