Description
Mode of Action
Ciprasid interferes with the enzyme DNA gyrase needed for the synthesis of bacterial DNA. This mechanism of action sets Ciprasid apart from other antibiotics such as penicillins, cephalosporins, aminoglycosides, and tetracyclines. Consequently, organisms resistant to these antibiotics are often susceptible to iy.
Pharmacokinetics
Ciprasid is well absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract after oral administration, and it is widely distributed into the body tissues and fluids. The half-life of Ciprasid is 3.5 – 4.5 hours. About 30-50% of an oral dose of it is excreted in the urine within 24 hours as unchanged drug and active metabolites.
Usage
Ciprasid is used for the treatment of infections caused by sensitive bacteria. It is particularly useful in treating severe systemic infections such as septicemia, bacteremia, peritonitis, infections in immunosuppressed patients with hematological or solid tumors, and in patients in intensive care units with specific problems such as infected burns.
Ciprasid is also effective against respiratory tract infections such as lobar and bronchopneumonia, acute and chronic bronchitis, and empyema. It is also useful in treating urinary tract infections such as uncomplicated and complicated urethritis, cystitis, pyelonephritis, prostatitis, and epididymitis. Additionally, it is indicated for skin and soft tissue infections such as infected ulcers, wound infections, abscesses, cellulitis, otitis externa, erysipelas, and infected burns.

Each film-coated tablet of Ciprasid contains 750 mg of active ingredient (Ciprofloxacin). It can be taken with or without food, but it is recommended to take it with plenty of water 2 hours after meals. The dosage and duration of treatment with it may vary depending on the severity and type of infection. Therefore, it is essential to follow the instructions provided by your doctor or pharmacist.
