Pharmacological action of
Pharmacotherapeutic group: Antimicrobial agent - fluoroquinolone
ATX:
J.01.MA02 Ciprofloxacin
Pharmacodynamics: Antimicrobial agent with a broad spectrum of activity, a derivative of the superficial quinolizirazone II, fluoroquinisomezone, chromosomal DNA around nuclear RNA, which is necessary for reading genetic information) disrupts DNA synthesis, the growth and division of bacteria causes pronounced morphological changes (including including cell wall and membranes) and the rapid death of a bacterial cell.
It acts bactericidal on gram-negative organisms during dormancy and division (since it affects not only DNA gyrase, but also causes lysis of the cell wall), on gram-positive microorganisms - only during the period of division.
Low toxicity to macroorganism cells is explained by the absence of DNA gyrase in them. While taking ciprofloxacin, there is no parallel development of resistance to other antibiotics 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 antibiotics.
Gram-negative aerobic bacteria are susceptible to ciprofloxacin: enterobacteria (Escherichia coli, Salmonella spp., Shigella spp., Citrobacter spp., Klebsiella spp., Enterobacter spp., Proteus mirabilis, Proteus vulgaris, Serratia rappenissa marciensiens, ., Morganella morganii, Vibrio spp., Yersinia spp.), Other gram-negative bacteria (Haemophilus spp., Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Moraxella catarrhalis, Aeromonas spp., Pasteurella multocida, Plesiomonas shigeoides, some Campylobacter jejuni, leppella leppella leppella leppella leppella leppella lepperia , Chlamydia trachomatis, Listeria monocytogenes, Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Mycobacterium kansasii, Corynebacterium diphtheria) Gram-positive aerobic bacteria: Staphylococcus spp. (Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus haemolyticus, Staphylococcus hominis, Staphylococcus saprophyticus), Streptococcus spp. (Streptococcus pyogenes, Streptococcus agalactiae).
Most methicillin-resistant staphylococci are also resistant to ciprofloxacin.
Sensitivity Streptococcus pneumoniae, Enterococcus faecalis, Mycobacterium avium (located intracellularly) is moderate (high concentrations are required to suppress them).
Resistant to the drug: Bacteroides fragilis, Pseudomonas cepacia, Pseudomonas maltophilia, Ureaplasma urealyticum, Clostridium difficile, Nocardia asteroides.
Ineffective against Treponema pallidum.
Resistance develops extremely slowly, because, on the one hand, after the action of ciprofloxacin, there are practically no persistent microorganisms, and on the other hand, bacterial cells have no enzymes that inactivate it.
Mechanisms for the development of resistance
The development of resistance to fluoroquinolones, in particular ciprofloxacin, is mediated by changes in genes encoding at least one of 4 mechanisms: 1. a change in the structure of target enzymes (DNA gyrase and topoisomerase IV) - enzymes, involved in the synthesis of
cell DNA 2. impaired permeability of the cell wall
3. active removal of the drug from the cell (increased activity of efflux pumps)
4. plasmid-mediated changes in the functioning of aminoglycoside 6-N-acetyltransferase.
Pharmacokinetics: Absorption of
It is rapidly absorbed when applied topically.
Distribution of
Plasma concentration of ciprofloxacin after instillation in the conjunctiva of 2 drops of a 0.3% solution every 2 hours for 2 days, and then every 4 hours for 5 days ranged from non-quantifiable (<1.0 ng / ml ) up to 4.7 ng / ml.
The average maximum plasma concentration of ciprofloxacin obtained in this study is approximately 450 times less than after oral administration of ciprofloxacin at a dose of 250 mg.
Ciprofloxacin is widely distributed in body tissues, approximately the volume of distribution is from 1.7 to 5 l / kg. Communication with blood plasma proteins is 20-40%.
Metabolism
No information is available on the metabolic pathways of ciprofloxacin.
Excretion
The elimination half-life from plasma is 3-5 hours.
Ciprofloxacin and its four metabolites are excreted in urine and feces. About 2/3 of the total level of ciprofloxacin in plasma is eliminated through the kidneys, while 1/3 of the total level of ciprofloxacin is secreted through the intestines and with bile.
In patients with impaired renal function, there is a slight increase in the half-life of ciprofloxacin due to extrarenal elimination pathways.
Similarly, with impaired liver function, the elimination half-life is slightly longer.
There is no evidence of a study of the pharmacokinetic properties of ciprofloxacin when used in children. Buy Ciprofloxacin-Optic eye drops 0.3%, 5 ml (Ciprofloxacin) in newyork free shipping. Fast international shipping USA, AU, EU, UK and others.

Pregnancy
There are no data on the use of ciprofloxacin in the dosage form eye drops in pregnant women. In animal studies, no results have been obtained indicating a negative effect of ciprofloxacin on reproductive function. It is expected that systemic levels of ciprofloxacin when used in a dosage form, eye drops will be low.
Given the lack of safety data for pregnancy, it is recommended that ciprofloxacin be given during pregnancy only in cases where the anticipated benefits of the drug from the mother outweigh the potential risk to the fetus.
Breastfeeding period
With oral administration of ciprofloxacin by women during breastfeeding, it is excreted into breast milk. Unknown whether ciprofloxacin is excreted in breast milk when used in the form of instillations, however, the risk for a breast-fed baby cannot be excluded in this case.
Caution should be exercised when using the drug for women during breastfeeding.
Special instructions
The solution in the form of eye drops is not intended for intraocular injection.
When using other ophthalmic medicines, the interval between their administration should be at least 5 minutes.
Use of the drug should be discontinued if any signs of hypersensitivity appear.
The patient should be informed that if, after applying the drops, conjunctival hyperemia continues or increases for a long time, stop using the drug and consult a doctor.
Wearing soft contact lenses is not recommended during treatment with the drug. When using hard contact lenses, they should be removed before instillation and put on again 15-20 minutes after instillation of the drug.
Impact on the ability to drive transp. Wed and fur.: After applying eye drops, it is possible to reduce the clarity of visual perception, therefore, immediately after instillation, it is not recommended to drive a car and engage in activities that require increased attention and speed of psychomotor reactions.

Description of specific groups of adverse reactions
Rare cases of the development of a generalized rash, toxic epidermolysis, exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and urticaria have been reported.
Serious anaphylactic reactions, in rare cases with a fatal outcome, including after taking the first dose, were observed in patients who received oral fluoroquinolones. Some of these reactions were accompanied by cardiovascular collapse, loss of consciousness, swelling of the larynx and face, tingling sensation, dyspnea, itching, and hives.
In patients taking fluoroquinolones orally, there were ruptures of tendons of the shoulder joint, tendons of the joints of the hands, Achilles tendon and other tendons, which subsequently required surgical intervention or led to prolonged disability. During clinical studies and post-marketing surveillance, the effect of ciprofloxacin instillations on the state of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue was not observed.
In some cases, instillations of ciprofloxacin resulted in blurred vision, decreased visual acuity and a residual amount of the drug on the surface of the cornea.
In the course of systemic use of quinolones, moderate and severe phototoxicity reactions were observed, however, such reactions are not typical for ciprofloxacin.
Profile of adverse reactions in the pediatric population
The efficacy and safety of ciprofloxacin in children aged 0 to 12 years has been confirmed in clinical studies involving 230 children. No serious adverse events were noted in this group of patients.
Drug Interactions

Description of specific groups of adverse reactions
Rare cases of the development of a generalized rash, toxic epidermolysis, exfoliative dermatitis, Stevens-Johnson syndrome and urticaria have been reported.
Serious anaphylactic reactions, in rare cases with a fatal outcome, including after taking the first dose, were observed in patients who received oral fluoroquinolones. Some of these reactions were accompanied by cardiovascular collapse, loss of consciousness, swelling of the larynx and face, tingling sensation, dyspnea, itching, and hives.
In patients taking fluoroquinolones orally, there were ruptures of tendons of the shoulder joint, tendons of the joints of the hands, Achilles tendon and other tendons, which subsequently required surgical intervention or led to prolonged disability. During clinical studies and post-marketing surveillance, the effect of ciprofloxacin instillations on the state of the musculoskeletal system and connective tissue was not observed.
In some cases, instillations of ciprofloxacin resulted in blurred vision, decreased visual acuity and a residual amount of the drug on the surface of the cornea.
In the course of systemic use of quinolones, moderate and severe phototoxicity reactions were observed, however, such reactions are not typical for ciprofloxacin.
