Uses of Ciprofloxacin

Ciprofloxacin is used in the treatment of various bacterial infections such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, pneumonia, sinusitis, ear infections, urinary tract infections, genital tract infections, stomach infections, infections of bones and joints and skin and soft tissue infections. It can also be used in the management of patients with anthrax inhalation exposure.

Ciprofloxacin: Fluoroquinolone antibiotics

How Ciprofloxacin works

Ciprofloxacinworks by blocking the actions of certain bacterial proteins (such as DNA gyrase, topoisomerase IV) which is essential for the bacteria to survive. As a result, it destroys the susceptible bacteria and prevent their further growth and multiplication within the body which helps in reducing the severity of the infection.

Introduction

Ciprofloxacin is a broad-spectrum antibiotic belonging to the fluoroquinolone family. It has shown an efficacy in the treatment of various bacterial infections, including respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and some sexually transmitted diseases (STDs). It has also been used to treat infections in the bones and joints such as osteomyelitis (bone infection caused by osteomyelitis caused by chondro-osteomyelitis), while still others have shown effectiveness in bone pain and inflammation (osteomyelitis). Ciprofloxacin has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial activity and has demonstrated superior efficacy in osteomyelitis than other quinolones.

Uses of Ciprofloxacin

Ciprofloxacin is used for the treatment of various bacterial infections, including:

• Respiratory Tract Infections:Ciprofloxacin is effective in the respiratory tract infection of Streptococcus pneumonia and Haemophilus influenzae, while it has antibacterial activity. It may also be used for the treatment of urinary tract infections (UTIs), bone infections, and osteomyelitis.
• Bone Osteomyelitis:Ciprofloxacin is also effective in the bone pain and inflammation (osteomyelitis).
• Osteomyelitis:Ciprofloxacin has shown superior efficacy and showed a more favorable safety profile in osteomyelitis than other quinolones.

How Ciprofloxacin Works

Ciprofloxacin works by inhibiting the synthesis of dopamine and norepinephrine in the central nervous system (CNS). Dopamine and norepinephrine are neurotransmitters that control dopamine and norepinephrine activity.

Dosage and Administration of Ciprofloxacin

The recommended dose of ciprofloxacin for the treatment of bacterial infections is one 250 mg tablet taken with water approximately one hour before the anticipated infection. Ciprofloxacin can be given with or without food, but it is recommended to take it on an empty stomach.

Side Effects of Ciprofloxacin

The common side effects of ciprofloxacin include:

• Headache (feel good)
• Dizziness
• Nausea
• Diarrhea
• Abdominal pain
• Fatigue
• Loss of appetite
• Rash
• Tendon rupture

Rarely, more serious side effects can occur. These may need immediate medical attention:

• Severe allergic reactions, including angioedema (swelling of the face, throat, and tongue)
• Severe skin rashes, which can be accompanied by dizziness and trouble breathing
• Serious skin reactions including anaphylaxis, severe skin reactions including anaphylactoid syndrome (fits, shock, severe liver problems, or kidney problems)
• Severe allergic reactions, including eosinophilia, skin rash, systemic reactions, and increased liver enzymes

If you experience any severe or persistent side effects, contact the doctor immediately.

Interactions with other medications

Ciprofloxacin has potential interactions with other medications. It is contraindicated in the following medications:

• Warfarin:warfarin can increase the risk of bleeding and may need to be stopped in some patients. The use of warfarin in patients with certain heart conditions, such as a myocardial infarction, may lead to increased blood clotting. It is not recommended to use warfarin in children and adolescents because of potential increased risk of developing low blood pressure.
• Cisapride:is contraindicated in patients with a history of hypersensitivity to ciprofloxacin or any of its components. It has been reported in patients taking cisapride.

Indications

Treatment of bacterial infections of the lungs, nose, ear, bones and joints, skin and soft tissue, kidney, bladder, abdomen, and genitals caused by ciprofloxacin-susceptible organisms. Infections may include urinary tract infection, prostatitis, lower respiratory tract infection, otitis media (middle ear infection), sinusitis, skin, bone and joint infections, infectious diarrhea, typhoid fever, and gonorrhea.
