Pharmacological action
Ciprofloxacin is a synthetic broad-spectrum antibacterial drug from the group of fluoroquinolones. Ciprofloxacin has in vitro activity against a wide range of gram-negative and gram-positive microorganisms. The bactericidal action of ciprofloxacin is carried out by inhibiting bacterial topoisomerases of type II (topoisomerase II (DNA gyrase) and topoisomerase IV), which are necessary for replication, transcription, repair and recombination of bacterial DNA. Mechanisms of resistance Ciprofloxacin resistance in vitro is often caused by point mutations of bacterial topoisomerases and DNA gyrase and develops slowly through multi-step mutations. Single mutations can lead to a decrease in sensitivity rather than to the development of clinical resistance, but multiple mutations mainly lead to the development of clinical resistance to ciprofloxacin and cross-resistance to quinolone-type drugs. Resistance to ciprofloxacin, as with many other antibiotics, can be formed as a result of a decrease in the permeability of the bacterial cell wall (as often occurs in the case of Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and/or activation of excretion from the microbial cell (efflux). The development of resistance caused by the Qnr coding gene localized on plasmids has been reported. Resistance mechanisms that lead to inactivation of penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, macrolides, and tetracyclines probably do not interfere with the antibacterial activity of ciprofloxacin. Microorganisms that are resistant to these drugs may be sensitive to ciprofloxacin. The minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC) usually does not exceed the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) by more than 2 times. In vitro sensitivity testing Reproducible criteria for ciprofloxacin sensitivity testing approved by the European Committee for the Determination of Antibiotic Sensitivity (EUCAST) are presented in the table below: European Committee for the Determination of Antibiotic Sensitivity. Borderline MIC values (mg / L) in clinical settings for ciprofloxacin 1. Staphylococcus spp. – borderline values for ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin are associated with high-dose therapy. 2. Streptococcus pneumoniae-wild type S. pneumoniae is not considered sensitive to ciprofloxacin and ofloxacin and thus belongs to the category of microorganisms with intermediate sensitivity. 3. Strains with a MIC value exceeding the threshold sensitive/moderately sensitive ratio are very rare, and so far there have been no reports of them. Identification and antimicrobial sensitivity tests for detecting such colonies should be repeated, and the results should be confirmed by colony analysis in a reference laboratory. Until evidence of a clinical response is obtained for strains with confirmed MIC values exceeding the currently used resistance threshold, they should be considered as resistant. Haemophilus spp. /Moraxella spp. – it is possible to detect strains of Haemophilus influenzae with low sensitivity to fluoroquinolones (MIC for ciprofloxacin – 0.125-0.5 mg/l). There is no evidence for the clinical significance of low resistance in H. Influenzae-related respiratory tract infections. 4. Borderline values not related to microbial species were determined mainly on the basis of pharmacokinetic/ pharmacodynamic data and do not depend on the distribution of MICS for specific species. They are only applicable for species for which a species-specific sensitivity threshold has not been defined, and not for those species for which sensitivity testing is not recommended. For certain strains, the spread of acquired resistance may vary by geographic region and over time. In this regard, it is advisable to have local information about resistance, especially in the treatment of serious infections. Data from the Institute of Clinical and Laboratory Standards for MIC boundary values (mg / L) and diffusion testing (zone diameter [mm]) using disks containing 5 micrograms of ciprofloxacin are presented in the table below.

This reproducible standard applies only to tests using dilutions with broth using cationic corrected Muller-Hinton broth (SAMNV) with a certain 2% growth additive added, which is incubated with air access at 35 ± 2 °C for ± 2 ° C for 48 h. In vitro sensitivity to ciprofloxacin For certain strains, the spread of acquired resistance may vary depending on the geographical region and over time. Therefore, when testing strain sensitivity, it is desirable to have local information about resistance, especially in the treatment of severe infections. If the local prevalence of resistance is such that the benefit of using the drug, at least in relation to several types of infections, is doubtful, you should consult a specialist.

Interaction
Due to a decrease in the activity of microsomal oxidation processes in hepatocytes, ciprofloxacin increases the concentration and prolongs the half-life of theophylline and other xanthines (for example, caffeine), oral hypoglycemic drugs, indirect anticoagulants, and helps to reduce the prothrombin index. Concomitant use with NSAIDs (with the exception of acetylsalicylic acid) increases the risk of seizures. Metoclopramide accelerates the absorption of ciprofloxacin, which reduces the time to reach the maximum concentration of the latter. Co-use of uricosuric drugs leads to a slowdown in excretion (up to 50%) and an increase in the plasma concentration of ciprofloxacin. When combined with other antimicrobials (beta-lactam antibiotics, aminoglycosides, clindamycin, metronidazole), synergy is usually observed. Therefore, Ciprofloxacin can be successfully used in combination with azlocillin and ceftazidime for infections caused by Pseudomonas spp. ; with mezlocillin, azlocillin and other beta-lactam antibiotics – for streptococcal infections; with isoxazolpenicillins and vancomycin – for staphylococcal infections; with metronidazole and clindamycin – for anaerobic infections. Ciprofloxacin enhances the nephrotoxic effect of cyclosporine, an increase in serum creatinine is also noted, so in such patients it is necessary to monitor this indicator 2 times a week. When taken simultaneously, Ciprofloxacin enhances the effect of indirect anticoagulants.
How to take, course of use and dosage
The dose of Ciprofloxacin depends on the severity of the disease, type of infection, body condition, age, weight, and kidney function of the patient. Usually recommended doses: Ciprofloxacin in dosage form tablets of 250 mg and 500 mg for oral use:For urinary tract infections, take Ciprofloxacin 0.125-0.5 g 2 times a day, in more severe cases – up to 0.75 g 2 times a day. The course of treatment is usually 5-15 days.
Diseases of the lower respiratory tract of moderate severity-250 mg, and in more severe cases,500 mg,2 times a day;For the treatment of gonorrhea, a single dose of Ciprofloxacin 250-500 mg is recommended;
Gynecological diseases, enteritis and colitis with severe course and high fever, prostatitis, osteomyelitis-500 mg 2 times a day (for the treatment of banal diarrhea, you can use a dose of 250 mg 2 times a day).
The drug should be taken on an empty stomach, washed down with a sufficient amount of liquid. Patients with severe renal impairment should be given a half – dose of the drug.
The duration of treatment depends on the severity of the disease, but treatment should always be continued for at least two more days after the symptoms of the disease disappear. Usually, the duration of treatment is 7-10 days.

Special instructions
If severe and prolonged diarrhea occurs during or after Ciprofloxacin treatment, the diagnosis of pseudomembranous colitis should be excluded, which requires immediate discontinuation of the drug and appropriate treatment. During treatment with Ciprofloxacin, it is necessary to provide a sufficient amount of fluid while maintaining normal diuresis. During treatment with Ciprofloxacin, avoid contact with direct sunlight.
Patients with epilepsy, seizures in the anamnesis, vascular diseases and organic brain damage due to the threat of adverse reactions from the central nervous system Ciprofloxacin should be prescribed only for vital indications. If severe and prolonged diarrhea occurs during or after Ciprofloxacin treatment, the diagnosis of pseudomembranous colitis should be excluded, which requires immediate discontinuation of the drug and appropriate treatment. If there is pain in the tendons or if the first signs of tendovaginitis appear, treatment should be discontinued due to the fact that individual cases of inflammation and even tendon rupture have been described during treatment with fluoroquinolones.
